I discovered that without my 3GB of CC my game runs a LOT faster. Trying to decide whether to go CC free for better game performance.. but that means living without all my CC furniture which I love!
Would you give up CC completely for a faster game?

Ultimate cc-list
My top 5
My Wishlist
I'd probably give up some of my cc. I do have too much, but I just haven't taken the time to weed out the stuff I don't like anymore or has too many issues or whatever.
for me because I don't use CC magic so can't see what each piece of CC looks like, so once I put it in I forget what it is and don't delete it
My name is ZG and I'm a CC hoarder. Sims 3 stuff is disappearing and I'm afraid I'll miss something good!
I have a great gaming computer now and finally installed all my EPs and SPs. Once I had those installed I found I didn't need as much CC because the game really has some nice hair and furniture.

Thankfully, I don't have to choose. Even with as much content and CC, and mods, as I have in my game - it runs very, very well. I can't imagine any gain in my game from ditching third party stuff at all.
Also I think because my game runs tolerably well with a heaping scoop of CC that I just can't even wrap my mind around not having it.
At the very least I'd have to play with default skin and eyes, and MC and SP like I used to do.

I don't use CC magic either. All of my content is sorted by sub folders with images for each package file.

My game isn't too bad with it though a bit slower but oh well, it's not so bad I can't play. I do have one save that does get on my nerves sometimes because I got way too carried away with the CC in my sims house and it's difficult to get it to load... still can't bear to part with anything in it XD.
This mod setup is 2.91 GB in my mods folder
WITH ALL CC installed it is over 6 GB in my mods folder and I have long pauses at 5 am and I have to have my options turned down to minimum settings to avoid Error 12.
Needless to say I have a lot of CC from luna and ATS3.
EDIT: To answer your question I need a lot of luna and ATS3 cc but I'm seriously thinking of making the time to work out exactly what I actually need and use in my game so I can reduce the load on my computer.
EDIT AGAIN: I think a lot of my problem is with having several huge basements in my various builds in the world and having massively huge gardens in several of those basements. I'm working on reducing the size of the gardens.
