Oh of course I'd include all the CC. Its a pet peeve I've grown where you download a sim only to find a text doc with a million links.
First off I would check all my script files to make sure they were up to date. If it still does it, I would remove half my cc and see if that helps. Then slowly had them back in until it happens again, then you can find you culprit. Start with the oldest CC.
Well happy to see you peaking interest in tackling something like this. And based on your follow up comments, you are def speaking my language. Personally I am not interested, but that is only because my gallery already looks like yours!
However, plenty of times I've thought of a godsend such as what you're proposing.I appreciate the advice! I'll definitely keep it in mind. My mod folder is about 209gb right now, so I have quite a bit of paring down to doWell happy to see you peaking interest in tackling something like this.

Thoughts:
1. Massive amount of time in the exporting and organizing (i.e. the actual work); I hope you have a streamlined process lol. Creating subfolders of that cc too I imagine. God speed.
2. Massive file sizes. Some of my exports are like 800mb a sim! Make sure you weed out larger files you can replace like skin overlays, and keep only 1 outfit per category.
3. File storage/organization: If 1 sim can be large, idk how insane an 8 cc fam will be. Let alone doing this a number of times for all your families.
4. Not trying to give you more work or discourage, but if I had a Family of 8 pack to quickly download, was organized into subfolders, that I could just drop tray and cc files into my game, that'd be huge for a lot of people I imagine.
5. Maybe start with 1 fam of 8 pack and see how it goes.
. Maybe releasing individual houses would be a good idea once the basic organization is done.Whatever custom CAS room you've got you need to update it. There was an issue with those with mirrors. Creators are uploading new files.
Oh dude I've been picking from all over. Kemono, /tsg/, the sims resource, a few from here I think, a handful I could only find on the wayback machine, but mostly loverslab. If you point to a specific sim you want a closer look at I can probably find its source.
I can't really take a good screenshot since its low quality but on alternative bitches 2 the 7th one.
Yep, thats her. I have her in my defaults. If you like alt girls youd probably like the stuff from Zerosimmer. Likes to do non traditional looks.
Sorry, I dont know any. Yacht to keep looking.
Wow, 200Gb, huh... I would go insane, and I have a lot. I stay around the 93-95GB mark. Literally just spent the day refining my mod folder with a new technique. Yes, I use those programs you mentioned religiously, but I also have Sims4TrayImporter. Add it to your process! Huge. Basically it reads the cc for any lots and households. Ex: if you have broken CAS cc (question mark skin), then equip the bad cc to a dummy sim, save to your gallery, then use this program to locate those files. And you can quickly jump to the folder location of that CC. It also highlights conflicts, but still use in tandem with the other stuff too. Assuming you have this program already though if you plan on uploading tray files.I appreciate the advice! I'll definitely keep it in mind.

I'm also using tools like sims 4 mod manager and sims 4 tray importer, so the actual handling and sorting of mods is no big deal. Lemme tell you, the mod manager is a god-send cause so many people have duplicate CC, just with slightly different names. Saved me a lot of potential overlap.
Absolutely! First you need to backup your installation and configuration/mod folders to a separate location. I have a backup drive for this purpose. This must be done BEFORE you allow the game to update. After that game is updated, lets say everything is broken... you can delete your updated installation and configuration/mod folders and replace them with the directories you backed up. This is the only way I know of to revert the game to an earlier state.
I would give TS4 a 'platinum' ranking as far as compatibility is concerned. I have DXVK installed on my OS and within WINE. DXVK handles DX11 translations to OpenGL flawllessly. I have not used windows in years so I have nothing to compare it to. The game and modifications run very well, I will also add that it runs Sims4Studio so I can edit mods. I have roughly 30 gigs of mods installed and the game loads pretty fast. About 60 seconds or less when launching a modded savegame. I expect native performance or better due to the lighter footprint of my operating system. Most of the Windows games in my Steam library run very well on Linux. I still prefer Linux native games but I will opt for Windows titles if they have a high enough ranking on
