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

I loooove my completer sets, especially window and door ones, after I started doing a fair bit of building and lot makeovers. And those curtains are fantastic. I'm sure there's several things I could get rid of, though, but but... what if I need them one day?! And I could always use more clutter...
Ooh, sounds like fun! Did you find any new favourites?

I do like the completer set, too, but I have to be honest about how much I actually use them all. Maybe I'll keep a couple of really useful ones, like the gearhead windows from AL. I love those.
I'm having a lot of fun in Belladonna Cove. I've played most every family there now. I'm really loving how easy it is to mix and match sims from different hoods in the uberhood. Before I'd have to think it through and then clone them off! :P Now I can just head downtown and find them to see if they click. Much easier!

Belladonna Cove has some quite good sims, I think. While EAxis' storylines for the EP 'hoods aren't as good, they did get pretty creative with the sims' faces, I think. They seem to have put a lot of effort into BC, the buildings aren't half-bad, and there's a lot of them!
Mixing and matching is a lot of fun. I tried playing a smaller merge with just Pleasantview and Strangetown, but I found that I very quickly missed having everyone available. So I'll just have to deal with the 'hood being huuuuuge. :)
