how much useless things were in there?
Think logical, the content is still there. Just splitted in several Downloads which will be installed automatically when you downloaded and installed the new “Small Download Pack”…
.. it’s not a matter of " useless " but “nice-to-have-but-not-default-for-use”.
When installing the core content you get ~90GB; when you want them all the core content size will raise to ~170GB after your manual download instruction.
You can see in the CONTENT MANAGER how the initial download size has been reduced; just look at the INSTALLED and NOT INSTALLED. Files that are installed but (for you) not mandatory can be deleted and retrieved for download upon your wish.
Initially you would download the base version and then all world- and sim updates on top of it. This was building up to a 170 GB total, with only ~90GB on disk, since many packages were downloaded more than once.
They now have incorporated the patches in the first download cycle, so you don’t need to download all patches.
