How much is too much?

When I was using CC (old laptop) I had 4k+ items in my mod folder. Haven't downloaded any on my new computer though.

I don't think there is such thing as too much. It's all about how much your computer can handle.
Keep in mind when you add custom content to your game it's like adding a new EP or stuff pack.
You are upping the specs needed to run the game as there is more stuff for your computer to read/load.

So long as you're not lagging. You're good!

1 item is too much.. :) Cause when its patch time I don't have to worry about a thing.. patch, repair.. I am good to go.. And it helps my Sims or houses be shareable..

Yea, gosh how I love some of the cc out there, but every time I use it, I have issues when there is an update :\ The issues are mostly minor and annoying but I have just decided to go without. I am sort of starting to feel like there are enough free updates and stuff packs coming out to give you more options and keep the game interesting anyway.

I love using CC, and I have them organized into subfolders. When it comes to patch day, I can pull a group out to test it. As of right now, I have 1,850 CC|mods. Most of them are for Create-A-Sim, such as clothing, makeup, and hair.

A tip I've seen on keeping CC from lagging your game as much: Rename anything with special characters - if it's nothing but letters and numbers, the game seems to parse it beter.

I try to keep it to a minimum simply because it makes it easier to keep up with patches. I think I have about 120 total, including mods & CC. I've no issues with lag, it's just patch day makes me weep with despair and I leave mods/CC disabled until I've seen confirmation that things have been updated or verified as ok to use.

I have a gaming computer so I have no problem with lag. Just wish I had a better internet connection. Satellite internet is plum! Normally, I put all my CC into sub folders but I've neglected to do that this time around. I really need to get to it.

I keep all CC to a minimum.
I have no mods in my game, I genuinely have no use for them with TS4 which is great.
Plus as others have stated, I can't be bothered to update mods every patch.

My game runs extremely smoothly and any CC I download I check it immediately to see if I like it in game.
I also trim my mods folder of any CC I'm not using and I don't use a lot.
Just some tops, bottoms and accessories..also some skins, but only little for each category.
I also stir clear of furniture CC.

This is the first Sims game where my mods folder is relatively very small lol, I like it.

Just some questions. How much is too much CC? I have 526 items in my Mods folder which consist of mostly objects and a few game mods. Is this excessive or not? How much do you have in your Mods folder? Just wondering.

I think, there is theoretically no limit - only the capabilities of your computer.

I have 1773 items, the MCCC and some of the shimrod mods in the game. My mod folder has a size of 2.7 GB and is organized in several subfolders. I've written a small script, which changes the profile folder to default before patching the game.

My gaming computer has an Intel Core i7 CPU, 16 GB RAM, a SSD and a Radeon HD7890 graphic adapter. I play the 64bit version of Sims 4 and it runs smoothly without any problems.
