These are the Mods I use in my game. Mostly these fix things, make things work better autonomously and/or create a functioning story progression. I do have a few that throw in cool things like extra types of parties, etc. You are responsible for the safety of your game. Make sure all Mods are up to date with the current patch before installing them. Always back up your game!

For the people that don’t use mobile, on desktop the links are broken as we are in excess of 250 linked mods. So I’ve split this post into several smaller ones so this can be used as a desktop reference as well. All posts linked below.

Batch Edit CAS Display Index w/ S4S v3.2.0.8 (Star) and newer

I was looking around S4S full changelog until my eyes caught something interesting 👀

+ Added a batch edit menu to folders in My CC + Added a batch edit option to set the CAS Display Index of all packages in a folder. 🆕 + Added another batch edit option to My CC Folder menu - "Change Display Index (sorted by package name)"...

Previously, the only way you can group CC creators together is if you edit their CAS display index per packages in S4CASTools. Now, with the new S4S update, you can do so with the batch edit feature in one go!

🆕 With the S4S v3.2.1.3 update, there's now an option to change all CCs in a folder to your assigned display index number, sorted by package name. If you're looking to sort your CCs alphabetically, now you can! More details later.

⚠️ Do note that for every batch fix you do, it will create a backup folder with all the unedited files stored in \Documents\Sims 4 Studio\Batch Fixes, which can bloat your storage quickly. Do your batch fix in small batches, regularly check in-game if it works correctly, and continue. You might need to delete the backup files in the Batch Fixes folder if you’re no longer using the unedited files.

Process below:

01. Have the most recent Sims 4 Studio (Star) installed.

02. Separate files into folders based on creators. Here I have Gorillax3 & clumsyalien's ccs into their own respective folders:

Whatever packages you put in a folder will all obtain the same CAS display index value. So if you want to have specific style of CCs sorted together, put them all in the same folder. It's also recommended that you rename the folders to include the CAS display index value you plan to assign, so that it's easy to do batch edit again when new CCs are added into that folder.

03. Go into My CC, right click a folder, and it will show you the option to batch edit CAS Display Index & another one to sort by package name.

If you choose the first option: all packages in that folder will be assigned the same display index value. Example: packageA to packageD will all be assigned 70 as its CAS display index. If you choose the 2nd option (Sorted by package name): each package will be given the display index value you assigned + decimals so that it will be sorted alphabetically. Example: packageA is assigned with 70 - packageB: 70,001 - packageC: 70,002 - and so on. If you're looking to sort your CCs alphabetically or by release date (e.g. QRsims's / Rusty's CCs), the 2nd option will be best for you :)

extra info to keep in mind: it seems that if you number your creations, it will be sorted by how they're sorted in the My CC list, and not from the explorer itself. So N6 will be given a higher display index than N21.

04. Once you've clicked the option, it will ask you which folder you're doing the batch fix on & the backup folder, and ask you what value you'd like for all packages in that folder. I set clumsyalien's folder to 70 and gorillax3's to 75.

There's no restriction on what value you choose. All that matters is that CAS CCs with lower CAS display index value will show up higher in the catalog than CCs with higher CAS display index value.

05. Click OK and it will tell you which files has been edited. Once you've successfully edited your files, you'll get a nicely sorted CAS CCs to browse :) Results are below:

Enjoy and happy sorting! :D
