Exceeding workshop item subscriptions to prevent crashes

[thehat]

I have a question. It concerns memory and how the system is prone to crashes if one exceeds 10,000 workshop items. I understand there is a way to exceed the limit? But doing so requires a lot of steps that may break my edits if I do it wrong? Can somebody please walk me through the process so that I don't wreck the 64-edit fed that I am painstakingly working to complete, as every wrestler's moveset is completely filled with moves from the workshop (the moves in the game mostly just don't do it for me)?

Someone is hopefully going to give you a much more technical answer to this question.

In the meantime, I'll just say this:

1) I've been doing a little dance with the Workshop. Every few days I download a few moves.  Every few weeks, I need to delete a ton of old moves I don't use. Find your "magic number."   Every time my workshop subscriptions get close to 7300, the game starts crashing.  That seems to be the magic number for me over the past year.  I'm almost always fine when I'm at 7250 or below that but once I get close to 7300, the crashes happen more often: particularly when I'm using higher resolution window or with appearance or moves mode.  It really sucks when my game crashes in appearance or moves mode.  Last week I deleted about 30-40 moves and that got me down to 7270 and I've been stable without crashes since then.

2) Subscribing to more appearance "Parts" craft pieces seem to be a much bigger issue than subscribing to most moves or edits. So it's not just the total number of subscriptions, it's the type of subscriptions.  Two years ago, I had downloaded a lot of parts without realizing the effect it had. Crashing got so bad that I was crashing inside the subscription delete menu! But once I was able to get rid of 10-15 parts, things got much better.  Edit subscriptions seem to take up the least amount of room.  Some of the moves vary.  The standing strike moves are huge since there are so many different positions. 

Anyway, not sure if this was the answer you were looking for but hope it helped in some way 👍
