Alright, 'fess up!

[Myth]

My folder is 568 MB.  I'm happy with the size it's at now.

It's not the size of the ship that matters, but the motion of the ocean.   Or so I've been told.  

[Flamingo]

My downloads folder is 526 MB with 2,166 files. I'm far too lazy to seperate them all into subfolders.

[MissDoh]

Do I win something if mine's the smallest of all of you 

 It is only 1,74MB all mods, hacks and Maxis special scissors which is the item that is taking the most place.

[TreyNutz]

1.07 GB in about 3500 files of custom content split over 8 folders.  I did a huge cleanout with my OFB installation and had to retire some neighborhoods as a result.

[Simlover]

Only 54.4 for me

[Firestorm]

Only 54.4 for me

MB I presume? 

I have only 336 MB of essentials, but it's rising steadily 

[witch]

downloads (objects, hacks etc)  = 851Mb
savedsims (inc. clothing, hair, makeup etc) = 1.25Gb

3-4 minutes to load the game

[Simlover]

Only 54.4 for me

MB I presume? 

Um yes, sorry feel like an airhead this morning!

[Simsbaby]

103 MB of things I made.
10.7 MB of hacks.
I can see those numbers exploding once I can sort my stuff with Nightlife.

[Ambular]

Counting all downloaded items and my own stuff, I have 1.5 gigabytes after weeding out some unwanted stuff recently.  I expect it to grow very slowly from this point, as I have most of the objects recolors I forsee needing for common items and will be downloading mostly unique stuff, new meshes and hacks and so forth from this point...

What kind of content is in your downloads folder that makes it so large? I only have content from this site.

[jfade]

Well, total, custom content wise, I have 588 MB (617,094,619 bytes) in all my folders.

In just my downloads folder, I have: 449 MB (471,498,567 bytes)
and in all my other folders (SavedSims, Hacks, my stuff, and a few other random things): 138 MB (145,596,052 bytes)

2,276 Files in total. My game takes about 2 minutes to load, so it's fine with me. I don't download much to begin with, and I'm constantly taking things out that I find that I don't like for whatever reason.

[Mike]

I hate clutter so I also take things out. You should see how well organized my entire computer is.

[BlueSoup]

What kind of content is in your downloads folder that makes it so large? I only have content from this site.

Hacks are relatively small, unless it's a large one like Insimenator.  Hair, skins and objects are usually the biggest type of file, and I have a lot of hair and a whole hell of a lot of objects.

[Mike]

For some reason, I forbid myself to download things for pleasure. I only download things that are necessary.

[maxon]

1.8Gb - now how did that happen?

My worst offender by far is the skins folder - I have an unfortunate addiction to hairs and skintones.

[vilia]

15.8 MB  I knew there had to be some advantages to my entire computer going kaputski and my motherboard having to be replaced.  I lost everything and haven't yet had a chance to re-download - the Sims runs so smoothly and loads so quickly I haven't even got time to get to the fridge (for snacks) and back before it loads.

[Minena]

1.9 GB I'm a download fiend.

[Marvin Kosh]

309 MB and rising.  It would be more, but when I installed OFB I hauled most everything out and started over with a batch of freshly-downloaded hacks.

[Fat D]

let me check...
1) Ep1/2 Environment: 57 MB (most files moved to OfB dir)
2) NoEp Environment (with EP neighborhoods and a macrotastics version I never put there): 57 MB
3) regular (all EPs) 1,3 GB
4) Uni EP only (for some minifridge tests): download folder doesn't exist

[gynarchy]

Mine is 576MB, split almost evenly between genetics/clothing and objects. At one point it was about twice the size but when I renamed and organized all my downloads I deleted a bunch of stuff I never used.

[jsalemi]

1.39GB here -- I'm a sucker for new hair and clothing...

[Leeahna]

2.61 gygs total, 8060 files in 5675 folders of which 1.82 gygs clothing and hair.

[Paperbladder]

26MB, there's very few objects and even less recolors so that's why it's so low.  The biggest Folder is a MATY dump which comes from people from MATY that aren't Pescado, TwoJeffs, or Crammyboy.

My game loads in about 10 seconds, I think.  The song I used for a test barely even starts and the game is loaded.  Before I fixed the load screen, the first part of the song played through.

[skandelouslala]

1.96 GB

And I'm not proud of that at all heh

I'm constantly trying to clean it up and refrain from downloading things unless they are amazing.
