How organized are your mods folders?

Mine is pretty simple. I merge my packages by category so those packages just sit in the main folder. Then I have one folder for gameplay mods (I only use a handful, so there's no need to further subcategorize them) and one folder called "testing" in which I put new files. Once a month or so I go into that "testing" folder and merge the stuff I want to keep in with the main packages. The stuff I didn't like gets deleted.

If I were the type of person to have a ton of CC and mods, and download more every day, then this method would be terrible. But since I'm not that type of person this works perfectly for me :p

Wow. I don't even know how to package my files like that, but it sounds really nice and organized. Do you ever have problems with corrupt CC? Do you have an extra folder somewhere to find each file separately or is there a way to sort out something within a package file? I don't know how any of this works haha

I don't typically run into issues with bad CC since I test everything out for quite a while before deciding to merge them in with the other stuff. Still, it's inevitable that patches will sometimes break things, in which case I can just remove the problem files and remerge. This is all done with Sims 4 Studio. I keep an unmerged mods folder on my desktop so that if I ever run into an issue, I don't have to unmerge everything just to remerge them again.

The reason why I have everything merged isn't so much for organization though. Merging them offers quite a significant boost in loading times and performance in general so for me it's worth the extra bit of hassle.
