Why is my groups cache so huge over and over?
songsmith:
I reinstalled the game after losing everything to a system crash almost a year ago. I have arred versions of BV and H&M. The rest are regular. No FT or AL.
I know that periodically the groups cache file increases in size and must be deleted for your game to start. I'm fine with that. It's the first thing I check.
However, since this new install, my groups cache hovers around 900-1000kb all the time. I pretty much have to automatically delete it to boot the game. This doesn't seem normal to me. I did hunt up CC I remembered having from before, but I'm 99% sure I have less of it now than I did in the past.
Is this something BV started maybe? Or just dumb luck? Should I check polys (I don't really understand those) on the CC?
I'm running XP SP3 with Nvidia Gforce 8800 GT, 4mb RAM and a ton of internal memory. Pretty much a new machine with a new motherboard.
I want to catch any problem now (if there is a problem) so thought I'd ask the people in the know. Thanks.
P.S. I would happily make a donation to this site and the other one. You guys saved me from having to pay for some of my old CC twice.
jsalemi:
That sounds pretty big -- mine is less than 500kb, and that's with all EP/SPs and about a gig and a half of CC. How much CC do you have, exactly?
SaraMK:
Too much CC sounds like a reasonable cause... possibly too many default replacements. Those seem to cause bloat somewhat more than other CC.
jolrei:
I have a fair bit of CC - 932 Mb including hacks, CC objects, clothing, face templates, hair, and a couple of default skins, and my groups.cache is only about 200 Mb kb with all EPs.
What happens if you delete it and let it regenerate? Does it come back the same size?

Excuse me? 200 MB??
