How organized are your mods folders?
I have a sudden urge to organize everything, I guess it's just the New Years vibe kicking in. How deep or complex are your mods folders? I'm thinking of getting really specific for my folders. Is t...

I need to organize things so I can find them and delete them if/when I hate what I see in the game. I used to sort by cc creator, but that only now makes sense for favorite hair cc creators (I have 3). I don't go more than 3 deep in the folder tree, I think. I do make sure that any scripts are never more than one deep from the main Mods folder. I have never had problems with things not showing up in the game.
However, if you merge files you know you are keeping as I do, I have noted that if you merge already merged files sometimes they don't seem to show up. Also, note that there are 3 creators that I really *must have* in my game, so only those 3 creators have their own main files. Which I keep updated easily. As for game mods, they also have a specific section to keep everything ordered also easily kept updated because of the order. Lastly, I find using a number in front of the file name helps keep sections of things sorted. For example, I prefer Genetics, Hair, Makeup and Accessories above all the room files but under the game mod files. As seen in the below screenshot for ya.
My last tip is if you use a method like mine, you can keep a subfolder in each section you download new things to frequently. Put only the NEW files in there and when you are sure they are ok or that you want to keep it, only then move it to the main section. For example, my section is "casual dresses". I have a "new" subfolder in that section where only new casual dress files are downloaded to. When I am sure I want to keep those downloads, they get moved to the "casual dresses" section. Though I rarely do this anymore lol. But if you are keeping things ordered by date you downloaded, this would work for you.
I have been starting anew every year, so my 2019 files are still on my external drive in case I deleted something I actually wanted. A backup exists for what I used the most last year kinda thing.
Maybe this will help some of you.
