Here is a short summary of my notes and findings on the Object Limit after struggling with this beast for years.
See @spockthewok's post for the explanation on what this is and what the limit is (32,767 Objects).
By the count on @picknmixsims's Maxis GUIDs spreadsheet, the game has just shy of 14,000 objects in it. I do not believe that all of these contribute to the limit (cos the maths doesn't check out) but just keep that in mind as you're calculating how much room you've got in your folder.
Sims count. If you've got a hood with a tonne of character files (you can find these in Documents / EA Games / The Sims 2 / Neighborhoods / [HOOD] / Characters) you're gonna have less room for CC
Reducing GUIDs can create way more space in your folder. Tutorial I use to do this is here by HugeLunatic - I reduce all CC rugs to 1 GUID, for example.
CAS Content doesn't count
Fences and hood deco don't count
Custom foods count. This can be an unexpected one
Same goes for custom careers, and Uni majors.
To easily check how many OBJDs you've got in your Downloads folder, use HCDU+ by PickNMix. Scan the entire folder for the "OBJD" resource only, go to the info tab, and the program will tell you how many files it scanned.
I don't have all the answers on how some people seem to have more OBJDs in their folders and not hit the limit while others with less do hit it, but that's what I can tell you from much testing and experience.
I also don't know if default replacing Maxis GUIDs still only counts as 1 object, but I'd assume it would.
Sad day for us CC addicts... Maybe if EA would actually do something about this and follow Will's instructions to properly patch Legacy Edition to remove the limit, I'd actually consider switching to that version of the game LOL.
