Haha, yes, BAD INFLUENCE! The new computer can handle it all so much more quickly than my old one, but the real issue is that (partially as a holdover from the days when I had to be more careful with downloads on the old computer) every time I've sat at my computer to sim lately, it's been like, 'nope can't start playing until you get all of these Body Shop downloads organized and then sort through which colors you want to keep, and make sure the new defaults are conflicting with anything else!' And then it's time to go to bed! Then the next day, 'hey, you downloaded all these other things, so gotta get them all sorted out before you can start up the game.. and oh, now look at the time!' :| MUST STOP.
:P The problem is that at some points, I feel like taking care of my game takes more time than actually playing it. I need to just remind myself that I was playing perfectly well month ago before I had all these new files, so I am perfectly able to go ahead and play without them! My cc is owning me-what would Thoreau have to say about this?!
Thoreau would've stared at it with his mouth opening and closing, completely unable to process it.
I have a holding file to which I download all new CC and it just sits there until the end of rotation, when I make a backup, add the new stuff, do any organizing that needs doing, and then get right back to playing. That way, I always have a pre-download backup in case I put in something that causes problems, and at most I spend one day organizing. Maybe you could do something like that?
Oh yeah, I have a whole system of putting new downloads into dated file folders (one for Body Shop and one for Build/Buy, so I can more easily separate my downloads when I'm just working in Body Shop); but then things have to get shunted off into their various permanent locations, and that system is kind of in flux... I don't know why it feels so complicated sometimes. I think I might actually have ADHD, which in women apparently often presents itself not as hyperactivity but as a tendency to get overwhelmed when trying to organize and process simple things. Like if I have three errands to run in a day, I'll have to sit down and spend time literally writing out what the best order would be for accomplishing all three, and it takes me a ridiculously long time. It's nuts!

Sigh.
If your game can handle it, by all means keep on keeping on! /badinfluence

Um, wait, what exactly do we pay you? Nothing? Really? As much as that?
Oh, well, carry on having fun in the way that best suits you at the moment, then.
