Whether you organize by character (Vicki, Natalia, Mayadoll) or merchant (PhilC, Anton, SergeMarck) or type of item (clothes, vehicles, plants) isn't as important as simply being organized. Any system will work as long as there is a system for installing and finding things. With thousands and thousands of files, this becomes vital. I don't let anything install itself... not even DAZ installers... because I want to know where it is going and why. Carolly
