How many screenshots do you have?

Wooooow omg that's a lot! I actually don't have that many because I do a routine clean out of screenshots.
I may keep some special ones in folders but I don't want another out of control mods folder in the form or screenshots. ??

Am guessing that maybe a tenth of your count survives, taken the past 2 years or so.

@Enkischmidt, ahh, in that case my answer is "I have no idea" because I keep them mostly on Tumblr which, as far as I can tell, doesn't have a limit on the total of what you can post. The only limit is on how many posts you can do per day and what size the images can be.

A couple of GB for each game, I upload all of them to Imgur but I also keep a copy on my hard drive.

I don't keep the in-game folder full, and I regularly cull older shots that I don't really care about keeping, but the Sims 4 folder in my multi-game screenshot archive is currently under 5,000 shots and about 6GB. That's after converting the PNGs to JPGs, but even so they currently make up roughly a 10th (size-wise) of the archive, which is comprised of over 300,000 screenthots taken from 27 different games in all. The whole thing is about 64GB right now. If I hadn't taken the time to convert most of them to higher-compression formats that folder would've been... SO much larger than that. :open_mouth:

The main folder (not the game folder) I have on my hard drive for everything to do with TS4 is a little over 97 GB, which includes 57,074 files in 754 folders. My actual screenshot folder in game is empty. I always clean it out and save those I want after every play session. I have a TON of screenshots saved in folders so it would take way to long to check the size of each one to give a number for just those. I would guesstimate at least 2/3rds+ of that number is screenshots though. :)

I have a folder for every Sim I've ever created for TS4 that didn't get deleted when I was finished playing them. Inside each of those is subfolders for; screenshots, tray files, notes/rules about the challenge they were created for and a few other miscellaneous items. However, I also have folders for miscellaneous scenery screenshots, build challenges, etc. The biggest folders, of course, are for my One Month One World One Year challenge Sims.

I think it's safe to say I love taking screenshots and I love this game! I play and take screenshots every day. <3

Two thirds of 97 GB, 6 GB after compressing and especially "Tumblr has no storage limit" confirms that I may be crazy, but at least not alone ;)

@VeeDub I rarely take screenshots in other games, Elder Scrolls takes second place, but it's not even close to the Sims games.

@Karababy52 Some of the files included in my count are docs/txt, too, but not many. My plans and rules are scattered on scratch paper for the most part. I tend to chronicle only my world's overall story on paper, not everything that happened to each family. That's what the screenies are for.

I always accidentally press C to open the calendar as an impulse, making me make a screenshot of the stupidest things. 1% of my screenies have to be genuine photos.

We balance. I know nothing about software, a little about hardware. Computers are sneaky. The only safe assumption is that there are no safe assumptions. I have been using them since the 1980s and still mess up. We need to be careful all the time.

My Archive folder for TS3, and TS4 is 422 GB
But I am sure some of those are duplicates because I backup my screenshots folder. So maybe around 250-300GBs
I use to do a lot of story threads and I keep a Simming moments thread to document my game play. I take a lot of pictures.
I would do YouTube let's plays if I had the voice for it. I am a bit of a monotone. I'd probably put people to sleep.
