How big is your My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2 folder?

Mine is 978MB. That's huge! But I think I take too many screenshots :D The
Storytelling folder alone is over 200MB.

Mine is 916MB and I don't take screenshots very often. I think maybe
I've taken 3? Mine is probably in the downloads. I'm addicted!

Hmmm. Did Maxis finally figure out the joys of grouping files together
into fewer, giant files (like the *.pak files from the Quake games) for TS2?
'Cos Deluxe Edition (TS1+LL), with only the official downloads, is about
1.15GB and over 15500 files. :P Okay, probably not fair to compare sizes
'til University gets out, but still... :)

They did actually, but we're just talking about our downloads and save
game folder.

Each downloaded object is one file and each sim pretty much has it's
own file.

The Game itself is 2.7 gigs and 1400 files (most of which are for the
sample neighborhoods)

991MB - but I just lost all my collections because I forgot to back them up
before forcing the TheSims to refill the folder anew. Oh, and then there's
the bunch of downloaded objects I renamed, had to delete and didn't put back
and all the skins I deleted because I didn't know where I'd got them from.
So God only knows what it should be.

If anyone is using the
boltrope testingCheatEnabled true
cheat.
You may need to delete the files in the
My Documents/The Sims 2/Logs

That cheat generates logs files.

Nope. Original's (well, Deluxe Edition) all I can afford (and, even if I
*could* afford TS2, its sysreqs are such that it'd probably blow up my comp
if I tried to run it :P).
[currently Googling around to see if there's any way to stuff floor tiles
& wall textures in a .FAR and still have them recognized by the game - no
problem creating the .FARs, but the latter... Just hate having files
everywhere - DE's default of 15500 or so is more than enough without adding
to the mess :P]

Yes, I see several different files in that folder. So it is safe to
delete all
those files??
Also, since I don't do movies, at times while trying for the cheat
window, it
snaps a picture so can I delete all the snapshots in the Storytelling
folder?

Wonder what else we could clean up to save space?

I'm feeling a lot better. Mine's only 1.15Gb and 3711 files. No
screenshots, though; all downloads & such.
