How big is your mods folder?

12.9gb and 4,059 files. Most of it is cc, game and script mods add up to about 200mb. I have a really nice gaming laptop so the only effect is a slightly slower startup time. On my old laptop (which was just under the required specs for sims 4) it made initial startup pretty long and the game would lag a bit but not too crazy.

The worst part is updating them every patch lol- I have them organized really well and it still takes a few hours each time

And remember to delete the localthumbcache.package file every now and then. Whenever I do that after making lots of CC changes, I notice the game runs better.

my mods folder is 1GB and 189 files

3.36 GB (1238 items). It was really slowing down my 2015 macbook pro and I was essentially out of space on my computer, but I recently got a 2020 macbook pro and the storage increase in AMAZING. Was able to download more CC and two new game packs and I'm not even close to using all my storage. Minus a few bugs with the new update, my sims game has never run better!

Thank you for this post, @permanentrose! I'm using a 2015 MacBook Pro and am hoping to upgrade to a 2019/2020 eventually. What are your specs?

I got a 13 in 2020 macbook pro, 16 GB of memory with 1 TB of storage. If you do get a new mac, the newest ones Apple is making with their new M1 chip will not support the sims yet (and a handful of other apps), just a warning. The ones they are making with the regular intel cores are still great computers - and I'm sure their new M1 ones are great too, I just didn't want to buy a computer that didn't support apps and games yet (I'm sure all these apps and games will develop software to work on the new macs soon enough, I just didn't want to wait haha)

Also how do I become an actual member on these forums??? I've made 15 posts, which I think is the requirement, and I checked my profile and have 44 points. I just want to be able to post pictures of things I make :(

EDIT - Never mind, looks like it finally updated my status, yay!

Thanks so much! I'm considering one of the non-M1 16-inch computers.

Sorry for off topic! :)

10.3GB and 2,762 files. I have yet to have any noticeable lag. Game still loads in seconds.

My Mod folder is 1.98 GB in size for 1,918 items! Yet I still want more haha I love them, they make the game so realistic.
