Freetime Important Info
PegasusDiana:
I deleted all my bookcases, almost all my toddler/infant stuff. All they have left is a couple stuffed animals and the baby blankets and bouncer. Freetime comes with some great stuff for them! Even comes with clutter. lol It was well worth removing everything I did remove. Cleaning up/really cleaning up my downloads. I hated loosing it, but Freetime is the best EP by far. Freetime should have been released as the Sims 2, the rest add just little things to the game for me. Like Nightlife with Cars, Season's with seasons. I didn't mind loosing all my plumbing either because Bath and Kitchen is coming out soon. I kept my two favorite bookcases for decor (wondering if Beos is going to update one of them for my university students) and since the other one was for children(A pirate set) the children can still study other things from them.
Ready for the final damage? Played six hours and no crashes with all CC no EAxis stuff at all(other than plumbing and electronics like radio/tv). From 3.2 gigs down to 865 megs. Not all of it made the game crash or didn't work right. I just figured while I was in there really testing things I'd go through each set of thumbnails page by page and no matter how much I liked it, if I hadn't used it in my game at all or only once or twice I deleted it. I had 200 megs of paintings! Now it's down to 50. 400 megs of nothing but clutter for the kitchen, dishes, floor clutter, etc...down to 50 megs. If it wasn't crisp and clear or didn't look realistic. Was blurry. I got rid of it. The new clutter Maxis gave us is fantastic. Only three cars left I couldn't bare to part with. All plumbing, electronics, toddler, infant stuff except a few things are gone. No regrets at all. Only TV I kept was Sandy's from ATS2. EA even gave us an older floor TV set. Haven't looked at any of the clothes and gagged that's a first. I actually really like ALL the stuff they gave us in this EP. :)

Where's my smiley face with the tongue sticking out for you! lol And no I really didn't think that
HAHAHA
I was just so happy to get the damn game working after trying to figure out till late on Friday what the problem was and then most of the morning Saturday - the Securom bug finally struck my game! I ended up having to download a no-dvd file, so having no tinkering at that stage didn't bother me!!
It's annoying, as is the fast motive decay, the jogging that leaves sims looking like lobsters and nearly passing out from heatstroke in the middle on the night in the middle of winter ACK
I have to agree with with you about the stuff that comes with this EP, I really like pretty much all of it, even the clothing. At the moment I'm playing with just bodyshop items - sorry, there's no WAY I'm getting rid of all my clothes and hairs!! - and I have all my walls and floors in and the only objects I have are a couple of stereos from ats, I'm really missing some of it, but a lot, as you say, is just mindless clutter that you think at the time that you can't bear to be without but then never use the damn stuff anyway!!
I love this EP already, I just wish they'd ironed out the bugs BEFORE release, but then ... hey ... this IS EAxis we're talking about!

Thanks so much for this info!
Well not to defend EA either but in all fairness they honestly can't be responsible for the way CC is effected by a new EPs new animations. If it works well with a clean game we can't really blame them when new animations come in to play. Let's just hope that our wonderful CC will be updated by the fabulous creators to be compatible with this EP. And fast! We love our shiny stuff,

I waited til today to even attempt to put the free time EP on. I'm not keen on some of the stuff EA have included though, eg the sport rugs, I'm not a big fan of any sport so won't be using them. I lost my neighborhood when I put BV on, due to a bug/glitch and have struggled to get the interest I had in playing the game since, which is a shame because I had great great grandchildren on the neighborhood prior to BV. I have only looked at the buy stuff on free time and haven't looked at the clothes yet. Its such a shame that the bulk of the cc won't work. I really love the beds I have downloaded.
