Can i organize my sims 4 cc folder how to#
here’s how to by other things i doĬlean my mods folder regularly - ok this might actually be more obsessive/compulsive on my part bc i do it all the fucking time, but cleaning your mods folder once every like 2 weeks/once a month is gonna save your ass down the road, honestly!! just make a mental note of the cc you almost never use and delete it!! pro tip: i download my cc to my downloads folder and use the program in there before organising my cc into folders bc it’s much quickerĬompress files - i only recently found out abt this but it has saved my life, the loading time is much quicker both when the game starts and when you travel between lots.
