Too many files?

(1/3) > >>

dlockett61:
How will I know if I have too many files in my game? I am a downloadaholic, for every 100 or so files I get rid of I add 150 more, I currently have over 51,000files in my game. Here are my stats:

Size: 10.2 GB (11,015,725,896 bytes)

Size on disk: 9.82 GB (10,548,367,570 bytes)

Contains: 52,195 files

Am I on download overload?

Thanks in advance.

Well,that's hard to judge,my downloads folder had swollen to 6 gb at it's largest,and it took an hour to load my game,an additional 15 minutes to load each lot,plus I was having very slooooooow moving lots(many of the items were high in polys)in addition to constant crashing and/or freezing,I deleted the files and went back to just recolors and the occasional new mesh hair and clothes,and my game now takes 3 minutes to load(I have all EP's up to Bon Voyage)But hey,if you aren't having any problems,then just leave things the way they are(if it ain't broke,don't fix it):angel:

I haven't had any real problems other than some of the ones you mentioned, slow game download time (about an hour) but I can live with that. The only other thing I noticed is the game plays a little choppy. Thanks for your help.

As far as your computer is concerned, your file limit is only dictated by the file system used by your hard drive. And if you have NTFS, which stands for New Technology File System and is designed for Windows Vista and XP, 52,195 files isn't even going to come anywhere close to capacity, which is measured in tetrabtyes.

However loading your game might be an issue as Holly has pointed out....

EKozski:
I'm just curious, out of all those files you downloaded, how many of those do you actually use?
