Early Morning CC Culling

[strangetomato]

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 think if you delete objects from the normal buy menu (not recolour tool), you delete the mesh... But I never delete any objects ingame, only occasional hair recolours and clothing recolours, so these are just learnings from the Internets and not personal experience. :)

Doesn't matter, apparently. I have no trash can tool in buy mode. *sad face*

Weird! I haven't actually paid attention to it in ages, I'll have a look too next time I play.

I've only had a problem deleting things in-game waaaay back in the early days of CC - anything made recently, like the past five years, the mesh is most likely to be seperate from the recolors. The only times I've found it linked was in clothing, anyways, and nothing by HP, Fansee, or Phaenoh comes that way.
