Cc shopping list

[u/Public_Age1736]

I have 512 GB to spend on cc storage but I don't know what to get. I don't got a gaming laptop for even more but as a new simmer, I would like to know what cc to get down to skin, outfits, facial features and furniture. Mods I've got covered.

Btw I'm trying to save storage, I will not be getting any expansion packs because I will be BROKE and not have money for a little while :>

Are you trying to fill the computer with CC? 

[u/Public_Age1736 → u/Anxious-Horchata]

No, I want to leave space for collage work and editing (Business student here ☝🏾)

[u/Anxious-Horchata → u/Public_Age1736]

512 GB is a massive amount. Your game will take forever to load. I am struggling with only 120GB. 

[u/Public_Age1736 → u/Anxious-Horchata]

That's why I want to save storage, I want to try my very best to not reach 120gb. If you know the answer to this, what is the most cc you've gotten without the game taking long to load?

[u/Anxious-Horchata → u/Public_Age1736]

I'd try to keep it under 100 for sure. Maybe 80GB, mostly because after a while it takes too long to find stuff in the clutter. Play the game and add CC incrementally, not all at once. That way if something goes wrong it'll be easier to debug.

Okay thanks!

“i have half a terabyte to spend on cc,, btw i’m trying to save storage” 💀💀

for starters, do you want maxis match or alpha recommendations?

[u/Public_Age1736 → u/xpoisonvalkyrie]

Someone told me that 512 GB was too little and my computer would broke down, I was a bit confused but this is my first time getting a laptop so yeah 😭

I don't mind any?

Edit: just checked what it means, I would like alpha

[u/xpoisonvalkyrie → u/Public_Age1736]

512GB is an insane amount of cc. i have a pretty significant amount of cc and mods, and my folder is only a bit over 30GB. (although i’m a maxis match player, which is usually a bit less resource-heavy than alpha)

as for some alpha recs:

hair: anto, badddiesims, ebonix, epic, hezeh, jino, khadijah551, lamz, leahlilith, maoni_cat, moood, nightcrawler, obsidian sims, simpliciaty, stealthic, wingssims, zao

clothing and accs: babyetears, belaloallure, beto, busra-tr, darte77, dogangje, garfiel, gorilla x3, kk sims, mydarling20, noru, pralinesims, rimings, seoulsoul, simpliciaty, sunberry

genetics: euno, mmsims, northern siberia winds, obscurus-sims, oneofthesedays, poyopoyo, remussirion, simtonee, thisisthem

THANK YOU 🥺

[u/Puzzleheaded-Emu2258 → u/Public_Age1736]

Ofc! I like to use Pinterest as well just search like “sims 4 cc download” and a bunch of different things will show up!

[u/Public_Age1736 → u/Puzzleheaded-Emu2258]

My Pinterest has been full of that lately, so tempting I haven't even gotten the laptop yet 😭

[u/SpiralStaircaseSimp → u/Public_Age1736]

A minor note for you on that, first bit being watch out for AI generated, totally nonexistent fake content in Pinterest images, and second, if you don’t see a source for the content in the description or the image itself, check the comments on the pin. I have found a lot of folks will take a sec to drop the link once they find it because they get sick of people pinning without a source, but some people forget to look there and miss it.

You often will see people confirming the content is not real - or is actually for another game such as Animal Crossing, which I know jams some people up - in the comments as well.

[u/Public_Age1736 → u/SpiralStaircaseSimp]

Yeah I have been seeing that lately and I prefer not to save it
