i mostly just use it for cc. i find the characters that mess up the build/buy catalog are like the curly brackets {} and any forward or back slash. removing them or replacing them with a plain dash helped speed up my build/buy catalog (along with CAS) so much!
also be sure to remove any extra swatches that you know you won't use with certain cc files.
if you merge your cc into ONE file (with sims 4 studio. there's an option to do it in there) vs your pc loading individual files, it makes loading a bit faster.
i don't do it bc if there's an issue with one piece of cc, it's hell finding what the culprit is and the last exception mod can't comb merged files.
it's much easier for me esp with my type of gameplay to organize by creator and delete any and every extraneous character. it keeps cas and build/buy loading quickly and my big clutter lots/rooms load faster too.
also those specs are NICE lol. i'm here chugging with an overclocked r5 2600x and i'm doing fine so far.

It's locked behind patreon. I believe this is what they're looking for.

Omg, make sure if y’all are bulk renaming to at least leave a space for the creator’s name for easy searching and sorting.
Something like this, maybe:

Removing spaces and special characters is like... my biggest gripe when it comes to sorting/organizing cc for safe keeping - I’ve been amassing my mega library and I’m like... why. The game doesn’t slow down that much with a few special characters (as such, I don’t rename any of mine and keep all spaces/special charas) - it’s a matter of allowing the game to run without relist everything in your mods folder.

Thank you!
And ikr, what's the point of having an ancient master vampire if he's not both hot and scary.
Holy..... unticking the checklist brought me down from about 4 min for 35GB to less than 30 seconds. Couldn't believe it, thought was probably cached and restarted the machine and sims 3 times. Always the same speed. There seems no downside afterwards like a slow running game which is loading the stuff which wasn't loaded with the list. Seemes it's simply the long list slowing stuff down.
I don't remove special characters by the way but use this tool

Brought me down from 25GB to 15GB when i first used it by finding all files i had downloaded multiple times and all the other wrong stuff (archives, pictures,.......) i had copied into the mods folder.
And restarted a fourth time. I still can't believe the loading time.

Just checked mine. 24997 files @ 116GB. Only CAS. All those hairs probably lol. Takes only a minute or so to load.. SSD.
YES lol. i usually do creatorname_filenamehere.package as well! i forgot to mention that lol
when i found out the mod checklist thing, i felt like i had to tell everyone. it's really a simple thing that saves so much time! and i gotta check out that program! i've been meaning to do a mods purge lately and something like that will make the process go faster lol.
It's still hard to believe, i mean i see the difference, but after so many years waiting for this game to load it takes some time adjusting
