CC Culling Update

I'm down to 2.59 GB! W00t!

Bodyshop only takes a minute or so to load. I don't need to have a book nearby to read while waiting for lots to load. It doesn't take 87645329 hours to load the first time I send a sim to "change appearance" each time I load the game. I don't need to scroll through pages of cc I will probably never use. I'm liking this!

It's not just a cc diet, it's a total cc lifestyle change. I've made some tough decisions, like severely limiting the amount of new meshes allowed in my game. I even have it down to just a couple of essential Holy Simoly items, rather than my previous completionist approach to HS. I'm trying to limit my cc hair to those I'll actually use on in-game sims, with an emphasis on characters (the others can be more generic). I'm even considering removing all my pretty geneticized Phobia eyes, going back to the basic Maxis set (defaulted, of course), plus a handful of contacts for character purposes. I figure I can always put them back in if I miss the variety.

Maybe I'll finally getting around to posting a resource page now. You know it'll truly be my "best of the best" choices.

I know! I'm terrible for going on cc binges like nobody's business. At least keeping things in order and simplified with free me up to indulge from time to time on something special. I'm still downloading things all the time, but I usually give it a short trial period now, then decide if it's something I realling need.

I'm not sure a simplified Maxis Match game with make for a fascinating resource post, but it's the least I can do. I've learned so much from other people's resource lists.
