Strange Storyteller

Guys, I need your opinion. 

Looking around I see lots of beautiful highpoly* cc, and seems like people really enjoy it. In the meantime creating smth I spend 70% of time to make lowpoly versions of my highpoly meshes. And as an inevitable result my stuff is quite handy for playing the game, but looks not so nice as it actually could. 

* - for those of you who is far from all that technical details. Highpoly meshes increases the load on your graphics card and other resources of your PC/laptop. If there are lots of highpoly content on your current lot [ including your sims and what they're wearing ], you may encounter certain troubles, such as different graphics anomalies, lags, crashes, game or even operating system freezes and so on. However, many people have quite powerful computers nowadays, so they don't experience any listed problems, if they're not turning their TS4 game into 3D rendering show with extremely highpoly cc [ my favorite example was a small cake of 215k polys, and even that cake is used by lots of ppl, at least I often see it on various screenshots ]. 

So saying "highpoly" I do not mean decor objects of 100-200k polys, of course, or a simple clothes of > 50k polys. But since my own PC is quite perfomant, I'm fine with the furniture of 10-20k polys, detailed cars [ 90-150k polys ] and cas stuff up to 150k polys [ for some very complicated outfits or hairstyles, not for ordinary shirts or simple dresses ].  

Now to the textures. Usually I either link textures for smaller file sizes of the packages without quality loss [ storage space on your hdd/ssd is not endless, you know ]  or use 1024 size. But I can make them larger so your close-up screenshots would look much more glamorous, regardless of file size, but in less number of swatches [ otherwise there would be sets of 600-800 Mb each ].

So. The question is simple - maybe my efforts to reduce polycount and keep average file sizes is just a waste of time and no one actually need that? 

Please, vote here and let me know what do you think about this! After all I'm sharing my stuff because of you so your opinion is super important!

UPD: Keep in mind that it's all about your choice and preferences. I can find pluses and minuses in any of the options, and none of them is preferable to me. There is no problem in creating lowpoly [ or highpoly ], it's not that. I can do [ and enjoy doing ] both, but I don't want to waste my time on things nobody needs. So please choose what YOU like - not what you think I may like. I like both!
