How much is too much

So, the point of deleting it all, then re-downloading everything was just to get it organised? If that's what makes you happy, I guess more power to you.
That was the point in my case. It may sound crazy, but I got so tired of spending all my free time in file management because of the way the game is and the lack of decent tools for it. I found it easier to start from scratch and be more selective and also be better about categorizing and using subdirectories.

Motoki, it's not so crazy. I know, I have done that too. When I reinstalled the game right before I installed NL, I started all over with new downloads, and spent forever organising it into sub-sections. It was a lot easier than trying to figure out what everything was and moving it over. Now I have a system that works pretty well. Plus, it's easy to take out a certain component (like hacks, for instance) if I want to upload a lot.
I only have less than a gig of CC, and it took forever, I can't imagine rebuilding 5!

Ifinally got rid of the truckload of meg hair marked as CC in my game it took forever but Iffigured out that either the hair itself was missing leaving a meesh and no hair and some had hair with no mesh. after going one by one in Simpe and disabling the truck loaoad of meg hair .I exited Sim Pe andwent to body shop and deleted them 1 by 1..I now have exactly 4 meg hairs in my game 1 blonde ,1 red.1 brown,and 1 black all maxix made

I have 4.6GB's in my download folder. Most of mine are clothes and hair, and clothes and hair meshes. I only have 3 objects meshes and those are beds.
I would love to delete some of mine too but I don't know which mesh goes with what clothes.
I would pay anything to get a program where we could see the clothes and it would point to the meshes that go with them, something like the simenhancer we had for sims 1.
Motoki, I just downloaded your elder fix, so I am going to delete all of my saggy, baggy elder ladies outfits, that will clean out my download folder a little bit and thanks for the fix. :)

You're not alone. I was inspired by this thread to do just that. I had over 6gig and even though I had subfolders, it was hard knowing what was the mesh and what was a recolor. I've used some of the suggestions from this thread to better organize the folders. I have subfolders under subfolders under subfolders now with a picture in each subfolder of just what the item is so I know which files to delete in the future if I want to get rid of something.
