How Big is Your Plugins Folder?

[blade2k5]

Mine just crossed the 3.3gb threshold.....finally added all the new stuff I dl'd recently.  Takes roughly 2.5-3 minutes to load the game.

So I just got the LEX disk today and added some plugins from there to my computer.
Remember how my plugins folder was 1.58 GB?
Well now it's 4.8 GB! 
Time to Datpack!

[A200]

My plugins folder is now 2.12GB

[newyorkrunaway1]

my plugin folder is currently 2.53G

i constantly clean out my plugin folder and add new things as they come out.

i only keep in there what i will actually plop down or grow in a city, if it is just a thought, or it stays in there to long without being used, its gone.

look at that it takes so long for my game to load i just go play basketball for like 30mins

[WC_EEND]

mine's 1,97GB atm

[alan_vzla]

Nothing too big for me: 500mb but my computer is very slow so it takes about 2mins to load the game, and to load a city aprox. 10min

[un1]

1.85 GB for me... About 3 minutes loading time for SC4 and 5 minutes for the LE. I do my lots on a different computer with a plugin folder of 100MB... Of props and textures, some base lots too.

3.17GB.  I wonder how much of that is works in progress....   

[blade2k5]

Mine is up to 3.6mb now, added in a bunch more stuff I recently dl'd to mirror my plugins folder with Pat's....we have this insanely crazy idea of doing a MD together.....we've been talking about it for the past 18 months

[Pat]

pppppst only 3.6 MB there Troy talk about a quick load time there you got lol or do you mean a GB lol hehehehe...

Hey SG good to see you in here and I wonder truely how much of yours is that works in progress? How do you break down your folder at all or do you? DO you datpack?


Current for me



BTW Troy it aint that bad planning takes time and we want this to be a good thing right??? I know I do!!! I should be around some more here soon!!!

[BuildingUp]

My plugins folder is empty right now. 

[blade2k5]

  You're right Pat, it's 3.6gb, not mb

[Pat]

  LoL I thought so there Troy

[stocktons_pimp]

other than the 70 MB "essential plugin folder" (which are lots i use for all regions, like NAM)... it's empty. i have at least 10 GB worth of plugins / dependencies / mods on DVD though

when it is filled up, i have 3 subdirectories in the plugin folder... one for dependencies, one for the essentials, and one for the plugins i'm using for the current region i'm working on... and each folder carrying a plugin / mod / dependency is named exactly how its named on the download page on LEX / STEX to avoid duplicates from being installed

starting a new (small) region soon.

Hey, it's the Simgoober. Nice to see you here  .

Well, I'll be posting my plug-in folder soon. Too much stuff coming in .

[jpj_starfleet]

Mine is 3.83 GB including everything you have ever released Simgoober! 

[frdrcklim]

From 3.76 GB a month ago, my plug-ins folder is now 3.85 GB. It just keeps on getting up lol  .

[sim-al2]

Mine still only 2.1 GB. I'm working on cleaning out buildings that are never used to free up resources, but my organization was so bad in the early days that I find many duplicate folders.

[46Bit]

2.6 GB at present. Actual content I've got comes to the 4GB from the LEX DVD + about 2 GB of downloaded stuff I'm not using at the mo. Loading times are quite low - 20 seconds to get to the region view (no startup vids) and then maybe 35-60 seconds to load a city, though one of my cam-skyscraper medium-sized cities (roads, skyscrapers, and little else, every piece of ground built upon) takes about 1 1/2 min.

Hopefully it'll be faster when I've datpacked it when I'm finished fiddling
