Custom Music Folder - 300mb
Downloads Folder - 3gb (I try to convert as many simspack's to packages if I can)
Mods Folder - 7GB - (around 4.5 GB of that is merged)
Saves Folder 34.5GB (95% of which is my current RLC)

Total size of 'The Sims 3' Folder - 50GB

No screenshots or videos. I clear them out after every play session.

I honestly thought I was over the top with all my cc at 3.8GB, but some of you went over the top, down the other side and are heading up another mountain! One thing I started doing is to create folders inside the overrides and packages folders for specific things like clothes, accessories, etc. Not sure if that helps or hurts? But, this seems to work out especially well for new downloads. I'll make a folder for just the new stuff and put the folder in the packages folder with the date as the folder name. If your game suddenly starts crashing, you know where to start looking first. I use Delphy's multi pack extractor tool, http://modthesims.info/d/364038/del...-sept-2009.html, tp conver sims3packs to packages and S3PE to compress new downloads... some downloads shrink by half or more.

@nitromon What would you suggest to balance initial load times and in game lag? I've noticed that CAS is interminable in my game lately and my files are mostly combined.

I finally remembered to check. Its 12.5Gigs. This doesn't include poses and things I only add in when I feel like doing pictures.

Every single person in this thread: lol im a cc-aholic, i have like 5 whole gbs of cc!

ME, the hoarder queen of garbage mountain looking upon her squalid kingdom: You are like tiny little baby; watch this.


now this just cc, after save files, sim files, Simspacks in my downloads folder, screenshots and other funsies, we're pushing nearly 70 gbs.

...It is a small miracle that my pc doesn't burst into flames every time i look at it.

Just dropping in to point out that I said I have 5 terabytes of Sim-related content, not 5 gigabytes.

5 terabytes in game? You load your game with 5 terabytes of custom content in it? And you use every piece of it? i'd be very impressed

If I could I would have way more mods but unfortunately my computer is not built for playing large games like Sims 3 so I have to try my best to avoid overloading it even more.

Let's see Sims 3 mods are 2.87GB but Downloads is 4.07GB. For Sims 4, mods are 4.40 GB. I'm not doing too bad, but the lag is horrible when I try to play IP due to all the routing issues...too bad I love the scuba diving areas...

But lately what I've been noticing is that some of my CC keeps disappearing when the game loads and it's mostly the stuff for CAS and I have no idea why...It's starting to bug me and I just had to be my male hairs, too...

10 GB for Mods, 2.35GB downloads on Sims 3. For Sims 4 it's 7GB. I've been heavily debating doing a CC purge, and I think now I just might. Only reluctance is tracking down some of my earlier merged files before I kept backups -_-. Wish me luck!
