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 only delete the CC I actively dislike (generally for being either ugly or shoddily made), and as a consequence it takes so long to scroll through the hair/facial decorations/clothing catalogs that you could have three children and send them off to college by the time you finish. (I'm not sure if it makes the rest of the game slow; that might happen anyways because my computer's not that good and I demand too much of it.)

The stuff I actually have a use for, for the most part, is generally normal-life-stuff with a large dollop of somewhat-out-of-the-ordinary on top of that. However, I've got all kinds of lovely but unused random crap like elaborate gothic gowns that I don't want to delete because WHAT IF I NEED IT SOMEDAY.
