I don't know what merging cc means. Can someone please explain to me?
@QueenofMyshuno, Using Sims 4 Studio you can make a single package file that holds as many other package files as you want. So, for example, if you have 123 individual CC hairs, you could merge them into a single file called Hairs.package and delete the 123 individual package files.
In previous Sims games this made a massive difference in load times for the game if you had a lot of CC. The load-time savings for TS4 is relatively minimal in comparison but it definitely can help, especially if you have a slower computer.
The downside is you can no longer quickly remove a single cc you decide you don't want. You would have to open the merged package file and make the change there. It's not really that complicated, but still a few extra steps and the larger the merged file is the longer it takes to repackage it with files removed.
In TS2 and TS3, I always did the cc merge to help with loading times but haven't bothered in TS4 seeing as the loads are so fast (for me at least) anyway. The extra time spent to do the merging and remanage the merged files when I want to change around some CC seems more bother than it's worth.
