How do you organize your CC?
Blech:
That's a really good idea, I thought about doing that, but I figured I would forget to put things back in when I wanted to use them. I bet it speeds up loading time, though.
Annette:
I wish I had thought to download pictures with the zips. It would make life so much easier. Especially if you use anything from WDS, the file names there are impossible.
tamwilliams:
My organization method is similar to a few of you. In the Downloads folder I have these main folders:
Fashion, Hair, Game Meshes, Game Recolors, Makeup Eye Colors, Make, vehicles, Accessories, Skintones, Hacks & Mods. Within each folder, the objects are separated by the Site Name, then another folder under the set name. For example:
In my GAME - Meshes folder I organize the meshes like this: 4Eversimfantasy\Livingrooms\Living2(c). The (c) means there is a collection file for the set. I also add a picture for each set I download. The GAME - Recolors folder is set up in the same fashion: 4Eversimfantasy\Livingrooms\Living2
My Fashion folder is set up like this: Meshes (All clothes meshes go into the Meshes folder by site), Female - Adult & YA, Female - Bodybuilder, Female - Teen, Female-Child and so on. There are site name folders under each of these folders as well. I do have pictures of each clothing set I download.
Everything is always backed up to my external harddrive and I add dates to the folders so I know when I last updated it: GAMES - Meshes (9.04.08)

Yes to both. I also combine all my package files. Say I get a dress with a mesh and four recolours, I use SimPE to combine all four files into one. It makes it so much easier and there are no abandoned meshes (plus a lot less files to muddle through. I do the same with hair and multiple recolours of maxis objects etc. I have 735 (probably without combining it would be over 2000) files in 55 folders.
Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to do this? I'm a maniac when it comes to my downloadfolder, and this seems to be the perfect solution for the headaches it gives me sometimes.
HeyYeah:
Once upon a time, I had dial-up and it took forever and a day (by which I mean a quarter of an hour plus) to download pretty much anything except hacks, so the only bodyshop stuff I had was crap I made or what came with selfsims, so it all ended up unorganized in the Saved Sims folder. Quite frankly, it still is because I haven't really downloaded anything new since. I did rename things so I knew what they were. I might organize it better if I ever download more.
As for hacks, the all go in the folder "Hacks" and subfolders according to the creator after I have played the game with them in the NewShitQuarantine folder once and confirmed the apparent workingness.
