Hi all, just wondering if there is a way to properly categorise your cc - e.g. when you download and use some cc for example an umbrella and whoever created it made it come under curtains which it isn't and that is where it appears in your sims game, I wanted to know if you can rename the category so that it goes into decoration category so I know where to look for the right items in the right place or wherever you want it so it's easy to find.
When I"m looking for something specific it takes so long to scroll through every section of items - decorations, plants, etc where some randoms are put into weird spots. I hope this makes sense as it's hard to explain.
I have the sims 4 tray importer for mac and the Sims 4 studio but I don't know how to change the types (category of item) or what numbers are needed in warehouse tab, maybe there is already a post about what tuning ids etc for each item - couch, bed, fridge, decoration etc?
I think in the My Projects area of Sims 4 Studio you can go to the tags section and re-categorize your CC there. Remember to "apply to all swatches" and choose the "save" button when you are done. I know I have successfully recategorized CAS items, so I would think it also works for Objects.
but don't I need to know the category name and tuning id etc. I don't know how to find or what the different ones are for each object. I desperately want to learn how to create my own cc but have no idea how to make things from scratch, the tuning object name and id. Was hoping there was a list somewhere with each item category and the tuning id so you could change it if put in incorrectly so you knew how to find it when playing e.g. couch = lounge, id 1088f90390398790 comfort 10. Because I have no idea how to create cc only recolour I don't know everything that is needed in order to change the category if that makes sense?
I don't know about tuning and all that. In My Projects when you open the tags section (maybe it is different for MAC) it shows all the different categories for CC and you just tic or un-tic the boxes next to what you want the CC to be. For example says you want to recategorize a chair. you can choose the section for comfort and then you have the options for chair (desk), chair (living), and chair (dining). You can tick the box next to all the options that you wish to apply. Then "Apply to all swatches" and save".
thank you both will check them both out. Bananas_45 I don't know if you have to change the tuning id and all that stuff in order to change the category cause I don't know how to create cc so will try unticking and ticking in the category I want and see if that helps it.
one more hopefully quick question - with an object such as a child's slide or swing set it didn't say deco only so expected it to work but it isn't. Is there something I can mark or change to make it working. I'm currently trying to build an indoor jungle gym playground.

I don't think there is an easy fix for that because animations would be involved. You may need to go back to the site you downloaded the item from and see if maybe it was decorative or if you need another file to make it work.

@MadeInOz do you have One Drive? It could be that you have a duplicate Mods folder. Make sure the path to the Mods folder you are using is
This PC: Documents: Electronic Arts: The Sims 4: Mods
Hi Bananas. I have a mac so I have sims4 tray importer, pretty sure I can't find mods conflict finder for mac. Yes still talking about the slide and I replaced it with what was there so not sure what's going on. Just seems strange it's not working for me.

There is a functioning children's slide here:
https://simsworkshop.net/resources/all-day-fun-slide.1883/
The only working swing I am aware of comes with Seasons.
That is one of the slides that's not working.

I sure did I have 100s of mods. Might redownload and see what happens.
Good luck!
Are you still talking about the slide? Make sure you remove the zip file from your Mods folder, only the .package file should be there.
You could also try running the Mods Conflict Detector to see if maybe that is the problem:
