Instead of renaming every single thing by hand, this free program Bulk Rename Utility does it for you! It has tons of features I find useful outside of CC organizing, but for our purposes the only boxes needed are “ Replace” and “ With”. I always rename new CC to remove special characters before incorporating it into my Downloads. also increase load times because the game takes longer to read them. The length of the folder & file names matter for the same reason, so I try to use shorthand like “Def” instead of “Default” and if some CC has a ridiculously long name I’ll rename it something shorter.įor similar computery reasons, special characters like these: _ - ( ) etc.

The main trouble comes from using multiple subfolders, like Downloads > CAS > Clothes > Female > Top > instead of just Downloads > Clothes. I think SOME folders are still okay though, as it’d be way more difficult to single out CC if it had an issue otherwise. Ideally the number of subfolders are kept to a minimum, because the game reads the entire folder address for every single file, which increases loading times the longer the addresses get. My actual Downloads has its own folder structure, like Hair > Female or Clothes >, so after doing all the prep work on the new CC the packages will go into one of those existing folders. This will be about staying organized proactively, so I’m starting with CC that’s newly downloaded.įirst, I extract the CC to its own folder.


It’s hard to know where to start, so hopefully this thing I put together can help you if you’re in a similar situation I was? At least proactively for your future CC hoard :P I didn’t always organize my CC folder, but that meant for a long time I ignored problem CC & just accepted wasting tons of time paging through things I never used.
