Does Tray Folder size matter? 🤔 [ Edited ]

Hi, I just wondering if the number of files in the Tray folder matters.

I mean, I'm always building new things but sometimes I have a lot of unfinished or WIP in the library, plus I've been saving quite a few Sims over time, so I have almost 19,000 items now but I'm trying to delete some because I'm a little bit worried about how much is too much (?)

Does the size of the Tray folder affect the game's performance in any way?
My game & PC are perfectly fine (over requirements), I was just wondering cos I don't want to think about it.
How many Tray items/files do you have?

@LixyQuinn170  The size of the Tray folder shouldn't affect performance overall, although I can definitely see it causing longer loading times when viewing your Library.

If you'd like, you can move the existing Tray folder somewhere else and let the game generate a new one.  You could also move only the newest Tray files to the newer folder, for example you might have a Tray folder with creations from 2023 and older and another one for 2024.  These folders can be swapped whenever you want.

@puzzlezaddict  Thank you very much for the good idea of ​two Tray folders and swapping them.
In general the library loads nicely, it's just that every time I backup the files, it takes a little longer (time to think about it) and I don't know if it's worth having everything since the Tray folders contents increases every time I play. BTW, thanks for replying too.
