Merging mods to increase Performance!
ZombieRain:
Can we merge the merged files? Or would this be completely redundant and just create a huge package file that our games can not handle?

You can, but it's not that important to trim one or even a dozen or so files out of the mix. What's important is to prune the hundreds-thousands of files down to a more manageable number. I have merged my "official" content into a dozen+ .package files and have another couple dozen player-content .packages and have seen no significant reduction in performance or load times compared to when I had merged everything into six. Also there's a recommended upper limit to the file size. I believe the exact number is somewhere else in this thread.
ZombieRain:
Okay, thank you.
I as just unsure of whether the game slows down because of sheer number of files or the size of them. I believe the number is something along the lines of 250MB so I'll keep my files around there.
If I have all my CC down to roughly 30 packages, (all under 150mb), and my game is still slow should I look elsewhere for the solution? Like converting my launcher files?
ShortyBoo:
I've merged most of my files down now. Actually, this is the second time I've had to do it. My hard drive died right after I did it last time, but luckily I had saved the pre-merged .package files on an external hard drive. Anyway, I was just wondering if there's anything that shouldn't be merged into a single package? I'm especially wondering about default replacement skintones. I have HP's replacement skintones and with all the ages and separate body and face files, there's a total of 20 package files. If I combined those into 1 file, would they still work? Or would it cause problems?
Tangie:
Somewhere in this long thread, I seem to remember someone saying that they merged their skins and they worked fine. I choose not to merge mine yet since I'm not sure I will keep them. It wouldn't hurt to keep backup files just in case it doesn't work, though.
