Too Much Custom Content?
Problems
- I think I have too much custom content.
- Is there a limit to the amount of custom content you can have?
- The game takes a long time to load (the whole thing, create-a-family, or particular lots) with custom content in.
Solutions
Depending on the file system your hard drive uses, there may be a limit to the number of files you can have in a single folder. For NTFS and FAT file systems, this is generally a little over 65,000 files.
However, you can resolve this by using subfolders in your Downloads folder. To see what you can subfolder and a futher guide to organizing your custom content, see: Game Help:Organizing Custom Content.
Sims 2 does not have a physical limit to the amount of custom content you can use. If it does, that number is higher than anyone has ever found - and you will run out of patience with long load times way before you ever reach it.
The number one cause of long load times is an excess of custom content. There is no real way to speed up load times without removing some custom content. For a guide on how to organize and clean up your content, see: Game Help:Organizing Custom Content.
