Ok So again i killed all downloads and i am working on downloading and organizing. My one question is hacks/mods. Is it proper to put them in sub folders or should they all be in the main downloads folder. Any thoughts or information. I know some hacks have to "load" before others to work properly. Not sure though if they can still do this in subfolders.

I have all my hacks (apparently a very pathetic amount of hacks by the way) in a subfolder and they work there.

My set up for hacks
Downloads<Hacks<JmPescado<Twojefffs<Crammyboy<SyberSpunkWoohoo<MTS2
No problems at all for them.
Side note, the InSIMenator HAS to be in the plain downloads folder. It didn't like being in the hacks folder.

InSim does not have to be in the main Downloads folder. I have it in a subfolder and it works fine (although I've only ever used one function  ) I have all my hacks by creator (actually, only two creators get their own folder; Pescado and Twojeffs), and then I have all other mods in a Miscellaneous folder. I think I have one mod by jenflower in the Twojeffs folder, since there's a loading issue with them, but other than that, everything works fine. |

Hm, on second thought, you're right BlueSoup. I was just stupid and couldn't find the machine.
Oh yeah, and skintones can go into their own folder. Makes adding genetic codes to them MUCH easier.

I thought that clothes and make up don't work if you have them in folders. At least that is what Sims2CleanInstaller says...

Well, I know what I'll be doing this weekend when the hubby is outta town.
That might explain why my skintones were okay with being in a subfolder even though the CleanInstaller FAQ said they wouldn't be.

NL made it so everything can go in a subfolder. I even have CEP in a subfolder.  |

Hmm, I'm not looking forward to getting all my objects into their own folders.
Do the meshes for hair have to be in the folder as the textures for them?

No, meshes and textures (for anything, not just hair) can be in different folders. |

Sweet. That will keep me from having to figure out the meshes from object, hair, or clothes.

It is actually an advantage to have all your meshes in one place as it stops you from downloading duplicate meshes.

Very good point. Right now, pretty much all of my meshes are in the same place. (The barebones downloads folder)
It was only the skintones and the hacks that got the special treatment.

I've got very few downloads, so I just sort by creator. There's 1 or 2 things not subfoldered just because they don't really belong in any categories.
What they say on the InSim site only applies if you don't have Nightlife or above. You can subcategorize anything if you have Nightlife, but I'm not sure you can if you just have OFB or SP1. InTeen supposedly fixes it's problems by being in the main folder, probably just due to the fact that things in the main folder are read by the program first, so in reality you're just shielding the true problem. Probably similar to some of Squinge's stuff too.

I agree about having all meshes in one folder - except I do separate Hair meshes from Meshes (clothes, accessories, etc.) I keep the hair meshes in a subfolder of the Hair Files, and then each colour has its own colour as well.
I tried Jade's system, but it didn't work for me. I'm happy enough with my system as it is.

Jade, what do you do if you download something that is for two categories (A dress for adult females that shows up under everyday and formal.)?

The only hacks I know for sure need to go in the Downloads folder itself are the Kitten Killer and its spawn...

Some hackers say that there hacks must go in the original folder. That what the kitten killer says but it works fine in sub folders... hypathetically... yeah...

@ Pegasys LOL! Sorry! Jade, what do you do if you download something that is for two categories (A dress for adult females that shows up under everyday and formal.)?
I put it where I would look for it. If it is more formal, then I would put it there. Not many people could do my system, but it works for me. *Le shrug* I have insem in a subfolder. The only thing I don't have in a subfolder is CEP. |
