How big is your SH3 "data" folder?

07-18-11, 04:06 PM

I've been modding my SH3 since 06' thanks to the awesomely awesome modding community here and elsewhere.

I take pride in my SH3 data folder being approximately 15.5gb as of this minute. And growing....

I have about 730 some ships and who knows what else. Just on the top of my head here.

So how big is your "data" folder sailors?

'Only' 6 Gigs. There are many mods my computer just will not run.

Slow comp? If so stay away from the explosion mods, like particles.dat and the seafloor and grass anything 1024 res or higher isnt good for you probably.

Also lite harbor traffic mod helps too.

4.8 gigs. Once my new comp arrives, I expect the folder to become much bigger...

I've known that since before you joined.

Not possible. Harbor traffic is what I live for.

That was a good tip for the guys that have slow PC's pditty8811

I hope it doesn't get lost like other good tips have.

I'm only at about 6-7 GB myself. and climbing.

7.02GB here.

7.39 gigs here. Of course about 1/3 of my mods are enabled via Commander, so the additional files involved don't become part of the game's data folder until I actually launch the game. The MODS folder in Commander is 3.61 gigs, make of that what you will.
