it's official... I have a CC addiction

Same. Good thing I organized when I did, I have so many lol
It's really clothes and clutter for me but I have better self-control when it comes to clothes. Clutter on the other hand, I just LOVE clutter!!! Makes each house and room feel so different

I avoided it for as long as I could...
I went CC shoe shopping today.
And then I needed bags to go with the shoes.
And poses that worked with the bags.

I'm going to blame all the sim modeling comps I've been lured into.

skins... skins ...skins.... did I say skins lol. Nop no addiction here! love luumiasims hair for men though and his new body hair Rocks, oh oh and his clothes for Men... oh and did I say skins..... ohhhhhhh and his facial hair. OK maybe I belong in Luumia unanimous. lol I did not even mention my tsr basket

I prefer to think of it as a hobby. Saying "addiction" gives it a negative connotation.

So, yes, I have a CC HOBBY!

I like how the game is right now but as my laptop isnt the best i rather have my game cc free and not getting cc that doesnt fit into the game(that has more of a realistic features rather than the cartoony the sims 4 have).

However when i get a new pc or laptop, ill probably get cc that brings more clothes, hairs etc for my sims that is in the same style as the game have. That i dont mind but also having alot of cc makes the game look more unique compared to have some cc stuff here and there. That makes it feels like its outta place haha

I went back to Sims 2 after a couple of not very happy years of playing Sims 3.

Finally, I could download CC and much of it was wonderful. It pretty much gave me a new game. But - meshes :s they all got mixed up. I must have spent enough hours to occupy a long-term full time job sorting them and everything else out.

I had separate games too, Fantasy, Goth, whatever, each with its own batch of CC. I had the bright but belated idea of including pictures in my CC master files to make identification easier.

I went back to Sims 3 after a while, some new EPs had made it much more fun but it still needed some CC. So it was the same rigmarole over again.

I got an external hard drive and backed everything up on it. How super-efficient.

I haven't touched either Sims 2 or 3 for probably about three years now and am unlikely to.

As much as I loved them and some of the CC their day has gone for me. I remember, too, how cunningly that CC was pictured. A lot was disappointing when I finally saw it in the game. Poor meshes, bad photoshop, clipping (gaaaah), hair that caused the game to crash.

And freckles - Sims are tiny. How many sets of freckles do they really need?

I'm taking much more care with Sims 4. Their meshes are ok, they just need a few more colour/texture options, for me anyway.

Plus we get patches and whatnot whether or not we want them so I like to keep things simple.

I am reluctantly considering getting rid of some lovely custom hair because the Sims using it end up with baseball caps and odd outfits before I can even get them into their new houses :(

Yup, I am a lot more discriminating about CC now. There are some creators whose work I can't resist, like LumiaSims and Peacemaker ( Simsational Designs) If the CC looks really out of place in the game, even if well done, it gets the axe.

I have never touched any cc since TS1. But if Parenthood doesn't offer any new hairstyles for toddlers, I might not be able to resist the cc jungle any longer.

Lol, I wish I had been that careful from the beginning, but now I'm stuck with a bunch of broken CC that I can't seem to get rid of. Especially CAS stuff. I download a manager to help me but it doesn't seem to be very effective, stating that it can't locate some of the files -eye roll-

ouch. I remember that happening to me a lot in TS2, had to nuke all my CC.
