This is what 5 months of work looks like
You guys know what this pic means? It means about 80% of my downloads for my sims 2 have finally been sorted out! And I'm not talking about just in proper folders now, as shown in this pic. When I mean sort, I mean I went in and nitpicked all the misc stuff cluttering my game and put them into collection files and changed the package files so now they only appear in their respective collection(s). So all my art stuff is now in it's own collection file and no longer cluttering up my deco category. Same for bath stuff, kitchen, magic, books, etc. I also went through and cleared out all the useless collection files I had in my game, keeping only those that were a set (like certain bedrooms, kitchens, etc.) so now, instead of having over 200+ collections, that number is down to 130. The only downside to this is that I now have to make sure to keep those collection files, or else I won't be able to access all my deco items. Not to mention, you can't access them for some reason on dorm lots. Not a big deal, but it is a minor pain. My downloads folder has also downsized a bit: it's now at 9.65 GB (before I started this sorting, it was just under 11 GB). I can't say how much I got rid of though, as throughout the 5 months, I did download stuff as well as get rid of other things (hey, you try not downloading new stuff for your game for 5 months!) Of course, I still have to go through it and get rid of more stuff, as I haven't touched on most of the build mode stuff yet, but all of the buy mode and body shop stuff is done!
