How Big is Your Plugins Folder?

MOREOPTIONS · August 06, 2010, 08:09:05 PM

well my plugin main folder is at 8.475 and i haven't been adding to much to it lately as am travelling. if i get to much more in it, may have to break it down again as i had so much i didn't use before. i have other plug in folders that i Chang around for dif regions. but there no more than 4-6gb or so. no need to slow things down to much.

2,16 GB

And i will reset it soon, some of my downloads made one of my cities crash and other bring terrible pollution problems unexpectedly

. Besides, I'm waiting for the SimMars Beta 3

Currently, my plugins folder is 4.37 GB, just after adding dozens of files I've collected the past several months, which I finally got around to installing.

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins________1.46Gb
C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4\Plugins_______________________________12.9Mb

Not Plugged in, but it's there somewhere list:

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\SimCity 4\Latest Stuff_______142Mb
*C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\SimCity 4\BSC SC4 stuff_____644Mb
*C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\SimCity 4\BSC SC4 stuff-2___346Mb

*these are prop and texture packs that have not been installed yet.

hmmm,...mine's kinda small comparatively,...what am I missing and will it slow things down on my system if I add more? Me thinks I need to balance Plugin size against things like the SC4PIM working with a smaller group of prop and texture packs, system performance on a AMD64 +3500 w/2Gb memory,...and for anyone who knows me, a 56k connection that's slower than the speed of smell.

EDIT oops! found some more, but these have older 2003-2006 dates. Some of these files are probably duplicates or superceded by newer files.

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Downloads\SC4 Props____203Mb
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Downloads\SC4 Textures___50.3Mb
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Downloads\SC4 Modds___72.6Mb
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Downloads\SC4 Packages___92.9Mb
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Downloads\SC4 Programs___86.3Mb

Some of OP4's Wild West stuff
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Downloads\Wild West___4.29Mb

I'm downloading everything again, so everyday it's being bigger and bigger.
I think I'm too careful with what I download: only 0,6 GB in SC4\Plugins and 0,7 GB in Documents\downloads to install...

samerton · February 28, 2011, 10:11:28 AM

My plugins folder is currently at 4.21GB.

Call me a SC4 nerd, but I don't play that much SC4.

My High Rise directory: 618 mb (Don't really use, not very good at metropolises

My Mediterranean/ Coastal directory: 1.9gb (under construction, so will get bigger!)
