How do you organize your plugins

[OM3N 20]

I started with 3 subfolders for RCI, but now it has mutated into ~30 subfolders for Parks, Civic, NAM, etc. And folders for Teams like BSC, NDEX etc. (in which each plugin has its own folder). About to break 4 gigs haha. I just wish there were an easier way to deselect certain plugins to make architecturally distinct towns. Manually going in there and removing individual files is just too much!

Look around and you will find a similar topic about six months ago.

I keep my Download structure and my Plugin structure in parallel as far as possible. This makes editing easier. Some sites (PEG for example) have a structure they want you to use, but this embeds easily in my system. I just keep it flexible, and mostly by author.

Here is my full plugin tree (500+ lines)

130 directories, 560 files

And this is considered to be a small plugin suite.

I just wish there were an easier way to deselect certain plugins to make architecturally distinct towns. Manually going in there and removing individual files is just too much!

I have my plugins arrange into theme folders (Coastal, MTP, SPAM, CAM, etc.) with each containing items that I would very rarely ever need at the same time. In each theme I have the folder arranged mostly by creator. All together, I have about 8G in plugins, but I only use between 0.5 to 1.5 at a given time, depending on which city/region I'm working in.

A program which makes this a bit simpler, and does what you asked, is Startup Manager. It allows you to select which plugin folders you want to appear for individual regions. There are two versions available (Ver 2) and (Ver 3). Version 2 is the easier to use, but version 3 allows more control. You might check them out.

[Loney 22]

This is my style:

A_CAM

B_NAM (includes Real Highway Mod, Railway Addon Mod and NAM Retexture and Cosmetic Mod)

C_Modds

D_Dependencies

F_BAT buildings

z_CAM (contains a file that is meant to override NAM)

F_BAT

[code] -Commercial (broken down to office and service) -Residential -Industrial -Civic -Military -Transportation -Other -Utility[/code]

[De Ja Vu 117]

I keep the important things separate from my other downloads such as buildings, parks, etc.

This is how my plugins folder looks:

-Block All Maxis

-CAM

-Folder A

-Folder B

-Folder C

-Folder D

-NAM

-NWM

-Other Plugins ( some from BSC, CSX, Pegasus, SFBT, SG ...for no appearent reason I keep these separate )

-Region Census (I know it's unnecessary for this to be in the plugins)

-Sithlrd98 Avenue Curves White Sidewalk Updated

-SPAM

-Street Addon Mod

-Trees by Cycledogg

The size of Folder A is 814 Mb and there I keep the earlier files I've downloaded, Folder B is 564 Mb, C is 362 Mb and D 402 Mb ...basically I download newer BATs, lots, parks, civic buildings and things like that in Folder D untill I feel that it is too clogged up...I'll make room for 100 Mb of downloads more for Folder D untill I will create Folder E.

I think we are all similar. Organization is in the eye of the beholder.

[x493x 446]

Mine isn't organized and the scroll inside the folder has shrunk to less that 5mm. I've been meaning to organize it but it's such an intimidating task that I've kinda put it off. It will happen someday though.

[EyeofMobius 27]

My plugin folder is reasonably trimmed in another way. I keep the mods in a "Z" folder and all the other plugins sit in the plugin folder with no folder trees, readmes or images to clutter things up. My download folder is where I have set up a hierchy of sorting folders so I can move and place things as well as keep backups.

I have found most of the core files to be reasonably well named so I can find them in the plugin folder without much work.

[x493x 446]

I've actually started to organize my plugins folder. My catagories are things like "stores and shops", "dependencies and props", "Apartments and Towers" and on and on. It helps to have in organized, now my game doesn't take 10 minutes to load!

[A Nonny Moose 8,261]

And if you defragment your disk and run disk cleanup regularly, it will be even better.

[Wraner 335]

Organize? not thought of that yet. It only takes a few seconds to load the game and I rename things to make sure they are all in a certain place of my plugins folder.

[simcity4deluxe 95]

My game takes 10 seconds to load and The files are organized by file type and by alphabetic order at the same time.

[A Nonny Moose 8,261]

Organize? not thought of that yet. It only takes a few seconds to load the game and I rename things to make sure they are all in a certain place of my plugins folder.

And how can you easily find one if it gets updated and you need to replace it?

[jacksunny 741]

I don't like renaming things because then BSC Cleanitol can't detect the files I need to remove when I get a new prop pack. That's why I don't datpack either.

[A Nonny Moose 8,261]

I don't like renaming things because then BSC Cleanitol can't detect the files I need to remove when I get a new prop pack. That's why I don't datpack either.

Agreed. I do use files2dat to consolidate BAT lots that come with more than one file, but I still keep them as individual items. I don't use cleanitol because my plugin suite doesn't get so big I can't handle it manually.

The last time I tested Cleanitol, it wouldn't run on my machine (Linux) even though I had loaded the required libraries.
