Large lot files

[sabelsings]

Hi

The strangest thing is happeing to my game when I'm building houses. I had this happen once before and I reinstalled the game. I'm building a house and for some reason the lot files are super big (21 MB) and I'm not even finished. The files for this lot should be no bigger than maybe 3 or 4 MB, at the most. I made a casino a couple of weeks ago that is fully furnished, decorated and all sort of attractions and 3 stories and it's only 6 MB. Could someone tell me what's going on and how to make it stop?

The game packs every recolor and a lot of game objects with the house, even if you don't use them.
You can find how to get rid of them here (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=87741&page=2&pp=25), look for post 42.

thanks for the reply, but I don't think that's the problem because I already tried deleteing ALL the objects and just leaving the skelton of the house (including paint and floors) and the files are still just as high.
