Is there a way to improve your gameplay by arranging your mods folder appropriately?
how do you arrange your mods folder?
sorry for the questions, my mods folder is very messy at the minute with lots of folders all over the place and was just looking for advice

- If you do something wrong, e.g. having too many levels of subfolders.
- If the mods depend on a special load order, then you would have to rename them according to your OS (Windows differs from Mac). But this should only be important for mods that depend on other mods or have additional modules, and usually this is explained in detail wherever you download one of these.
I have subdirectories for build items and CAS stuff, "[BUILD]" and "[CAS]" (the brackets make them easy to find), because these seem completely insensitive to their position within the Mods folder.e.g. Mods/[BUILD]/creatorName/*.package
Not so the script mods/gameplay mods, though. Some of these require to be placed on the highest level of the Mods folder or in certain relation to another (see above), so I keep all of them in alphabetical order on top level. If possible I add version number or date to the folder name so I know when to update.
e.g. Mods/MTS_itasan2_1808614_Ita_ShowSimInfo_ScriptAndPackageV3.8.0/*.ts4script
do you (or anybody reading this) use MCCC and does it give you ‘Last Exception Caught’ errors. If so do you know how to use these messages to find the issue within the mods folder?
And all of my CC and mods work fine. 2-3 sub folders should be fine. Any more than that no.
I also organize my Game Folders as well.
*This is my Mods folder for CC*
These are my Game Folders
I have it like this:
Mods/CC/Female Hair/ consists of short, medium, long, updo, toddler, child folders
Or:
Mods/CC/Male Tops/ consists on long sleeved, short sleeved and outwear etc
I have everythin really separated cause I have lots and I actively clean out my mods folder often and it's easier to find them like this.
Friendly reminder: Make sure to copy and paste your "saves" and "tray" folders to a non-sims related location, super important! I keep mine in it's own folder in my Downloads. Last night I was deleting some mods I no longer wanted, restarted my game, and the game had an error every time I tried to go into my last played household. Luckily I had recently backed up my saves and tray folder, and it saved the day. I have too many custom lots I've put countless hours into creating, and would have been destroyed if I had to reconstruct a new save.
