Well, completely vanilla wouldn't be entirely correct in my case, as I do use a few script/gameplay mods (varying from 5 to 20 - counting the MCCC suite as one) . But I don't use any CAS or build/buy CC.
Hard to say really. I have separate folders for each of my saves, so they have varying amounts of mod/cc content from zero to the whole lot... then I have a master folder for all my mods/CC. I can't say I've ever counted the number of items as many of my 'collections' are merged packages to cut down loading time a little so its anyone's guess as to how many individual things are in there. The master folder itself is about 40GB, but some of that is duplicates organised into sets and collections that I can put into any save I need them in and also includes backups of my tray files for transferring between saves.
im not about to count it all so i just took a wild guess lol. but its a considerable amount. not nearly as much as i had for sims 3, but its getting there
I use MCCC and have quite a bit of custom hair and make up but that's about it. I also have some mods to fix little things I find annoying like autonomous drinking and washing dishes in the bathroom.
If I was asked to gove an exact number, without looking, I'd say 140. Bu I know there is probably more than i think, still might be less than 300. I use little CC in my game, but keep collecting items I might use as decor for specific settings for my movie making. They are installed in my game only when recording those scenes.
..I rather not know most of it maxis match cc clothes to hairs and some poses..Haha bad enough ts3 mod folder is the same too. so am not going count probably then what i voted..
People ought to clean out their CC folder if they're hitting 4000. It's unlikely they use it all. Their computer and game would probably run better with a quick narrow down.
Prepping a list of mods to add after Infants are placed into the game. Because real life isn't 'nice'.
@loanet My mods master folder has tons of CC all super well organised into folders and sets that let me choose the specific content I want in each save. Since each save has a separate game folder, and only has the CC I want in it, I have no running issues. Careful organisation leaves me free to have as much CC as my drive will hold and still have a smoothly running game. Some of my saves have nothing but a couple of QoL mods and no CC too. I love the freedom
I like building themed worlds (GOT, HP, Star Wars, Jane Austen, etc.) each of which requires varying amounts of CC. I'm not sure how much I have total, but it's about 4GB in my game ATM. I usually leave most of them in because there's some crossover-- a Disney dress is also Myrcella Baratheon's, a GOT dress is also used in Lady Catherine de Bourgh's wardrobe, etc.
Most of what I have is building materials and clothes, skins, makeup. I have MC Commander which does most of what I want to do and just a few other things like more sims in bars etc. I don't have much that changes the game because they break so much with patches.
I have exactly 1 piece of CC: Luumia's vanilla skin, and about 80+ mod files which are mostly "no autonomous" mods from various creators, mainly coolspear, and same energy bed mods by cyclelegs. And MCCC of course.
The other option: Less than 300 items but a good bit more than vanilla.
