Early Morning CC Culling
Why yes I am up before dawn and organizing my downloads folder with a fiery passion. Why do you ask? :P Early morning insomnia is the worst, but I do appreciate the extra "me time" (and at least I went to bed pretty early last night).
I'm really getting somewhere with my cc organizing lately. I've decided to take a long, hard, honest look at what I actually use in-game. I'm limiting my Simgaroop hair recolours to one hue of each hair colour (making an exception for redheaded aliens, who look better with bright red, and I'm a little torn on the browns), deleting all the pretty-but-unnatural eyecolours (so no more townies with bright purple eyes), Maxis-match eyebrows (when I only ever use the three default shapes), and eye/nose/mouth shaders/corners, face wrinkles, nail polishes, bazillion glasses recolours, and maybe even some of the freckles (maybe). And that's just BodyShop!
I finally downloaded Homecrafter as a way of weeding out the last few walls and floors in colours I don't use, but I'm a little stuck on the object recolours. I did some hunting around, and the only method of identifying individual object recolours seems to be SimPE, and then deleting them from the downloads folder. Am I missing something? I'd love to be able to view and delete them all in one go.
Whelp... back to work! XD

Oh, reducing CC is such a pain! I usually end up starting all over, but the last time I did that, I saved a ZIP with my neat "limited" version of my Download's folder in case my current one gets crazy (so I don't have to start over again).
That said, I am currently at 4 GB. It is not as BAD as the 12 GB I had at one point (WTF?!) but it still is too much. I blame that to all the zillion color options offered for clothing and that I have a hard time either identifying the name of the color (I still can't tell what is BMX or Explosion) or just deciding which ones to keep :P.
Good luck!
