you can make the game do that? maybe that's just a time l imit on newstories and such as i think more about it. still worth a gander on that particular screen. think it's in global settings > 'tabs'. players and facegen?
at the very least, you can reduce what it is saving. just keep the minimum stuff that other things can be rebuilt from on demand.
this sort of stuff shouldn't affect in-game stuff. not even loading should be a big difference. only do it specifically for space concerns, if you actually want this data saved. heck, you could archive and zip the files with extreme compression rates due to file types involved. i'd assume it's modular and you can just dump it back in when needed? just incrementally add files to the archive or name new archives with time ranges etc.
because it amounts to just text, you'll get an extremely high compression rate.
hmm maybe a suggestion for ootp.. an option to read this stuff from compressed archives. would save tons of space. wouldn't slow things down much. a 'puter can keep up with extracting a few temp files at a time that you would need per screen. it's all incremental in nature by default, so very minimal impact be end user.
