Organizing CC in subfolders [Solved]
« on: August 14, 2017, 10:53:01 AM »
Hey you guys :)
I am a player for 8 years and still have issues with that subfolder thing.
I know I can create them, but can I create a subfolder in a subfolder?
Like this : Mods->CAS->Hair->.package
At the moment it looks like this : Mods->CAS->.package
It would be easier to organize all my CC, if it would be possible to create subfolders in my subfolders :D

I know that there´s a pinned topic about organizing cc, but I can´t answer my question with that  :-\

Hope someone can help me  ;)

Hi @MistressAnne, welcome to the forum.

Sims 4 doesn't work well with more than 1 level of sub folder in mods. You can edit the 'resource.cfg' file to recognise more levels but it is generally easier to just have lots of folders under mods instead. Eg mods/female hair/*.package, mods/male hair/*.package.

You may be able to find more info in the discussion section of Mod the Sims or one of the other mod sites.

Hope this helps, happy simming.

So, it´s possible to have like 20 ;D Folders inside the mods folder?
By now, I have 4 Folders inside the mods folder: Build,Buy,CAS and Game Mods
I would like to categorize them, like Skins,Shoes,Bath and so on, to organize my cc more( and I have a lot cc :P )

As far as I know, you can have as many folders as you like in mods as long as it's only 1 layer deep. It's nesting the folders that causes problems. I think I have about 800 .package files organized into nearly 40 folders and I could still do with dividing some of it further.
