i've given up saving anything
if it gets lost it stays lost, or i end up purging it away
there's always so much more out there....
Oh, I know--absolutely scads more out there! The problem with me is I'd rather not have to go looking for replacements.
Also, I have a few very favorite objects and/or textures and some of those are no longer available anywhere. I sort of get attached to some things, kind of like I get attached to my comfy slippers or sweatpants. They just feel so good I never want to part with them! LOL That's one thing I really love about The Sims. If I get clothes in my game that I really like I don't have to worry about them wearing out and needing replaced.
