Request for Feedback

Nearly two and a half years ago I did a photo shoot for a simgenix challenge based on the seven deadly sins. Mine was done on Lust. No surprise there right? I've learned a lot in nearly three years and I'd like to complete the set. I would love some feedback from anyone who reads this.

Spring Cleaning

All right, it isn't spring...however I have been pouring over various sites and tutorials looking for tips and tricks and always seem to find one thing that catches my eye. A lot of creators compress their CC before uploading and many Sims 2 players compress their downloads. These same people organize their CC in folders first which, not being very organized, is a foreign concept to me. And I keep losing CC every time I launch Body Shop or even the game and I swear I am not deleting anything.

My question is this - and Veron I hope you are seeing this post because I know you will have sage advice for me - when organizing downloads, say by hair (male/female) clothing (again, male/female and maybe even body shape), or maybe even theme, how do you all do it? Are all the decorative pieces in one folder or are they separated by type (wall, statue, etc). Are all, I mean ALL, meshes in one folder? Walls, floors, where do they go?

I had at one time started doing this by creator but that is not working well, especially if you want to cull. Clean Installer is a useful tool for sorting through CC when it is in smaller chucks in folders. Again I go back to theme...do you put the Halloween stuff in one folder only to be moved out when not in use?

I ask this because I have 9.96 GIGABYTES of CC and tens of thousands (32,046 at my last count) of files in my Downloads folder. So I really would like some input from anyone out there who has a boatload of CC and is blessed with the organizational gene.

Feedback Please

Ever since I began the second part of Dark December, I have wanted to use the opportunity to delve into the characters more, who they are, where they came from, and most especially what it is like for them on tour, not in front of the stage but behind it. This, of course is the reason that Rafe is traveling with the bands, his all-access pass to write his story for Rolling Stone. I have been toying with various scenarios in an effort to bring those stories out to the readers and I have come up with a plan but I need your input. I would like you all to post questions here in the comments section asking any question you would like answered.
Since I am focusing on one band member at a time, the first article will be on Aidan O'Malley, the quiet one. Feel free to post as many questions as you would like and any topic is open for question for Aidan. Anonymous questions are fine if you prefer.

Thanks for helping me out with this. Hopefully, I can bring to light more about each person's life and personality as seen through the eyes of Rafe Taylor.
