What's the size of your plugins folder?

[flymantang 2]

Hey everyone,

I did a search and couldn't find a thread similar to this one, so I decided to post my question. I'm just curious as to how many plug-ins everyone has downloaded. I have 1.06GB of plug-ins that need to re-organize

----

How to find the Plugins folder

-> goto C:\Documents and Settings\< your user account >\My Documents\SimCity 4

-> find the Plugins folder and right-click on it

-> select Properties

-> look at the Size attribute.

Please vote on the poll, thanks!

Mine's about 650 MB... and it definately won't end there...

BTW, I've even heard some dude's folder was over 10 GB (!!!!!) big. He couldn't even enter without freezing his PC. Dunno if this is true...

You will need a lot of computer memory cards for a 10GB. Also, it can't be a laptop because you can't upgrade, replace, or add more memory cards otherwise, you will break  the laptop.

My plug-ins folder is about 1.5 GB. It takes about 10 minutes for my Simcity to load.

[Hahayoudied 3]

My dad has just recently upgraded the computer's RAM. Now it takes about 3 to 4 minutes to load the game.

[masochist 111]

A nice 2.0+ GB plugin folder, courtesy of BSC, NDEX, Pegasus, ILL-T and plenty more.

And thanks to Wouanagaine and my 2 GB's of RAM, you'd never even know it...

[ilikehotdogsalot 311]

1.80GB right now. I need to delete some junk though.

[Brney1000 0]

My plugins folder has exactly 1.25 GB in it from every Simcity 4 download site imaginable.

[tragicomicus1 99]

1.96 G and growing....

[patfirefghtr 160]

And that is after a rebuild and transfer to a new computer on May 9th

[trixin 2]

Plugins, eh? I've got about 500 MB of stuff, excluding skyscrapers. Probably over 1 GB with them included.

[mrbisonm 1,622]

17.8 gb's and 31,455 files in 7,692 folders and having started a clean-up a week ago, meaning that probably 1.5 gb's (about 3,000 files) are already in the *out of game* bin.

........and continuing to clean............... P)

[BIWDC 2,296]

I have about 218mb of plugins in mine(a lot more then that downloaded though).

Also there has been other threads similar to this but i think they are since deleted.

[Death54 3]

My plug-in folders up to 192 MB.

[The Big Z 103]

Mine is 1.5 gb, with 300 folders and 2,108 files, after two session of DatPacker. I think this is the biggest mine has gotten though. I got a new computer with 10 times more memory than my last one(no joke. It really is 10 times bigger).

[Palpatine001 57]

1.1 GB after 4 years of play

And doesnt take long (about 3 minutes) to load either

[mrbombit 1]

3.2 GB. 4 yrs playing, after dat-packing.

[football_fever 6]

I actually have it split between the two plugins folders.  The one under Program Files is 2.15GB with 1,274 folders and the one under My Documents is 1.19GB with 665 folders.  Everything is very very organized.

I was just looking at these the other day too, when I was going on a download spree for The Sims2.  My TS2 downloads folder just made it up to 2.3GB with 213 folders. 

Custom content has made these games.  Without it, both games would die almost instantly

[Geronimo 4]

I`ve shrinked it down from over 1gb to about 600mb. After upgrading RAM and vacuumcleaning my computer finally runs smooth again. Haha

[artoxb 0]

3GB

even if much is compressed, my sc4 still needs centuries to load x)

[jacqulina 162]

2gb here

[bo1777 0]

i have 4.61gigs of plugins after dat packing,and yes...they all work,anything that doesnt work (like utilities that fill the city with polution when bulldozed) gets removed.it takes my demension 8200 about 4-5minutes to load the game and 3-4 minutes to load a city.it takes awhile to do stuff,but i love the varaity in my cities.

[Hahayoudied 3]

I just did a major clean up in my folder and my plugin folder size was 550, now it's 350.

[The_sanderson 6]

Mine is 2,7 GB.But i have a friend with 4 GB!

[zzazzmatazz 3]

2.12 GB, 3732 files....and still growing

[NYankees24 0]

I have a plugins folder of approximately 34.5MB of space, and I frown upon those who have folders of junk too big or above 1.0 GB because it is really bad for your computer period.

[Hahayoudied 3]

It isn't bad as long as your computer has enough RAM, hard disk space, and if your computer is fast enough to handle everything you downloaded on to the computer.

[GMT 389]

my old plugin folder was at almost 3.5GB, but I messed it up and now started to download all over again, and only with BSC prop packs installed, I'm already past 1.5GB... and there're no lots at all...

[simzebu 20]

DatPacked: 1.02 GB

Unpacked:  1.10 GB, 4512 files, 730 folders

My computer has 2GB of RAM, and it takes me quite a while to load up SC4. I generally leave the room, get lunch or a snack, and come back in in time to wait a few more seconds for it to load. And then I have to wait again to load a city.

Whenever I mention all the RAM I've put into this computer, my parents remember how everyone thought they were crazy when they got a computer with 5 MB of RAM, because that was so much.
