Does Anybody Else In Here Feel The Way I Do?

I deleted at least 90% of the items I downloaded from the booty.  Sad, I know.  Kept most of the bodyshop stuff, but I'm more picky about it 'cause it's harder to delete.  Now I'm suffering from lack-of-orphan-mesh/recolor-deleter though.

Edit: I haven't tried it yet. It is a Simpe plugin.

Both that and the orphan recolor scanner that come with SimPE only allow you to disable the files, not move or delete them.  

Unless there's a secret button no one's told me about.

Does it give you the name of them? If not then all hope is gone! Abandon ship! Delete downloads and start over! Again? Aww crap.

[Plum]

It does.  But there are a lot so I haven't taken the time to attempt this sad, sad task.  ;_;

This stinks of pure laziness, sloth and possibly gluttony. (It is turkey day... burp) In my case, I do the ole binary search thing. Its not 100% effective, but its helped me find 90% of the orphans.

P.S. An "Orphan Deleter" just sounds so Pescadoesque. He just keeps the ones that survive being hurled against a wall.

Hmm.. on the topic of the orphan population(in DL folder), what about the clones?  When bodyshop includes meshes with packaged sims, what if you already have the mesh.. do you now have two copies of the mesh in your downloads?  If it adds the mesh each time then download folders could rapidly fill up with clones.

Only if they have been renamed somewhere along the line. Clean installer warns you of that.

Hey this problem used to drive me crazy too, until I found out that Simpe renames the disabled packages to .packagedisabled
So if you just go into your downloads folder, you can arrange them all by name and easily see which ones are .packagedisabled files. Than you can just delete all those ones!

dr.philthy, you are a bloody genius.  Or at least smarter than I am.

Argh, this stupid thing. I'm supposed to delete everything that doesn't have a mesh reference listed, but I tested this with my clothing files, and it lists like 90% of the stuff I consistently use as not having a mesh reference. Am I just doing it wrong?

[Plum]

Are the recolors in question in different folders than the meshes?  Not that that's it for sure, but I don't have a problem with it but I keep all my BodyShop stuff in one folder.

[Aquamarine]

Nope, same folder.
