So. What's this about organizing mods and stuff? I currently have something in my mods folder that's breaking the game and since there are 2 thousand files, I have no idea what it is.....
I have folders for Build/Buy, CAS, Defaults, Mods, and then each creator has a folder if I download a bunch of stuff. I also include images witth each package file.
If your sub folders go too deep then the game no longer recognizes stuff so you have to edit the resource.cfg file.
Here is how: http://modthesims.info/t/531644
I do have separate folders organizing my mods and CCs. Like folder for hair, makeup, outfits, etc. in the mod folder itself.
You can put them in folders within the Mod folder and they will still work?
Yes, like I said above you just have to edit the resource.cfg file to look deeper so it recognizes the files
Do what to the who? How?
There's a link earlier in this topic to how.

That sounds so complicated. I'm pretty good with computers, but this is something it sounds like you need to know how to write code to do.
All you have to do is open a file in notepad, copy and paste the text into it, and save.

Huh - do you put the notepad into your mods folder - I'm not understanding this at all now.
There's a file in your Mods folder called resource.cfg.
Right-click on it to open it in Notepad (or a similar text-editor if you're on a Mac) - it's like Word, but super-basic and doesn't add anything hidden to files.
Copy and paste the new text in, and save the file.

So I just type resource.cfg in notepad and it makes the sub-folder for me?

Open the existing file named resource.cfg in Notepad.
This won't actually make the subfolders for you, but it will recognize the subfolders you *do* make, no matter how you name them. (I have subfolders for different kinds of build, buy, and CAS content, personally.)

I finally figured out how to open it in notepad, so I type all that stuff and it makes folders for me. BTW - I have 2 resource.cfg files, which one do I use?

You have to edit the resource.cfg if you do this though.
edit: ninja'd by @simasaurus09! (actually, I just didn't read the whole thread first LOL, so...)

Open the existing file named resource.cfg in Notepad.
Copy this into it, replacing the existing text:
Priority 500
PackedFile *.package
PackedFile */*.package
PackedFile */*/*.package
PackedFile */*/*/*.package
PackedFile */*/*/*/*.package
PackedFile */*/*/*/*/*.package
