Is YOUR Plugins Folder Bulging?

[Artman94 2]

Hello, good people of ST,


I am really curious how your plugin folders are-is it massive in size? Or is it just a couple files? This would be very interesting cuz you get to learn a bit more about the community!

As for me, here are my plugin folder stats:

2,068 Files
632 mb

I'm not sure wether this is just a little bit compared to ya'lls or mine is completley massive...

1 giga byte - Plug In Folder disabled, where i move my plug ins when packed.

[A Nonny Moose 8,261]

111 Megs in 56 folders containing 250 files.

Quite small, but i refuse most lots with a lot of dependencies.  My machine is old and slow, and i don't need that kind of overhead.

I tried sorting them out into groups but to no avail

IDS2 your kiddn right? how many hours does it take to start up the game?

[Craig91 12]

3.3GB, 9249 Files, 1914 Folders.

On my old computer it took about 20 minutes to load 2GB of plugins, on my current one my 3.3GB takes 5 to 10 minutes

[sithlrd98 66]

good lord  !!!  I thought that I was the only one with the "lets see how much I can cram into a city" problem!

just outta curiosity what setups are you guys using (ram cpu etc.)

xp2500+

1.5 Gigs Ram

(hopefully the boss will let me build a new one soon)

[Jazzmaster 716]

1.44 GB

6,038 files

1160 folders

Takes me like 5 minutes to start and another 2 1/2 to load a city,not to mention my regions big so I'm stuck on the Sim City 4 screen for like a minute. Some of my cities are so "customized" they're practically unplayable because they lag like you wouldn't believe.

I run on an 

-Intel dual core 2 processor at 1.87GHz (so double that)

-2048 MB RAM

So Simcity takes about 3-5 minutes to start up for me.

1.83 GB

9,896 Files

1,494 Folders

I organize my downloads by the date that I add them to my plugin folder. That way, if i discover a problem, i don't have to thumb through a folder of 10,000 files to find the problem.

I've opened a city, walked away, cooked myself a quesadilla, eaten it, and come back just as it finishes loading a city.

[topcliff 1]

I have. Three, actually. Leonardo

[jabezscratch 159]

1.3G in Plug In folder w/ DAT Packer (1.38G in Plug In Folder Disabled) -- I'd like to get it down to 1G but I'm realistic and know that'll never happen.

4,657 files

1,199 folders

2.4G Duo Core, 4G DDR2 RAM, WD Raptor 10,000RPM HDD, ATI X1900GT

Loads quite quickly (I've removed intro) -- probably one minute. Before upgrading to current specs, I'd start game up and just walk away to eat dinner, watch a movie, earn a college diploma (in other words, it was painfully slow).

2GB Plugin's Compressed... I dunno how big it would be uncompressed...

Takes a few mins to load on my machine, but not much.

[flame1396 9]
