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.
I don't think so I just figured out most of it on my own and what I didn't know I asked the creators that I knew would. I can write out a tut this weekend and pm it to you if you can't find something suitable by then.
although probably solved via pm, i might as well add my guess regarding the procedure, so "Search"-function will find something, when others might become interested.
preparations:
- get SimPE (any version should work)
- make backups as needed
- have some space available for the temporary files
procedure:
1. open the mesh-package in SimPE
2. open a recolor-package in another instance of SimPE
3. extract whole content of recolor (CTRL-A -> RMB -> Extract...) to temporary storage
4. add extracted content into mesh (RMD -> Add...)
5. repeat 2.-4. for any further recolor
6. save mesh-package
correct me, if i'm wrong.

I organize my cc in files using the in-game catagories. But, I like to make thematic neighborhoods, so I also store a lot of specialized cc in specifically labeled folders including from where I downloaded. For instance, if I want to play a Victorian, space, futuristic, fantasy, or some such neighborhood, I just pull that folder out of storage and put it into my downloads folder. The drawback to that is that some of the content is quite excellent and could be used elsewhere; but I like to keep my downloads folder managable.
