How to sort your non-default eyes cc by style not by colors in CAS
If you are using 2+ non default eyes like me and you are borthered by the swatches are mixing up or hard to find the eyes you want without having a headache. Then do this. EDIT: Sorry to any people follow this tutorial before I edit this, you should follow this tutorial instead for faster method, both works fine but the other tutorial is much faster and easier. I really apologize for my lack of knowledge when writing this tutorial.Β
So originally, most nondefault eyes are made with the sorting order from 0 to 100+, which gonna make 10 different styles of green eyes in around same spot of EA green eyes, for so they mostly sort by colors. And if the palette goes beyond the EA colors and/or more swatches and/or sort differently by cc eyes creators, it will be like picture above.
Step 1: Open Sims4Studio, click on My Projects, locate the NON-DEFAULT eyes package you want to re-sort, and open it.
Step 2: When the package is opened, (1) click on Warehouse Tab, you can see the list of CAS Parts on the left which control how the swatch behave, (2) click on the first CAS Part, (3) on the right side, type sec into the search bar, (4) SecondaryDisplayIndex will appear, you want to change the number next to it.
Step 3: The strategy is go for big number, I recommend go for 1000, then go the next CAS Part on the list on the left side, change number up by the unit of 5, so it will be 1005
Step 4: Continue going down the list for each CAS Part, change the number increase by 5 than previous CAS Part, 1010, 1015, 1020, 1025 and so for until you reach the end.Β
Step 5: When youβre done, hit Save at the bottom and then Cancel to exit the file.
Step 6: Do the same thing from Step 1 to Step 5 again for each new non default eyes that you have. The new eyes to re-sort now start with 2000 like pic below, then the next following set of eyes start with 3000 and so for, the reason to do this is to keep them far away from each other to avoid mixing up.
One tip: Sometimes when you go down the CAS Part list, the color swatch is not arranged correctly(top to bottom) to how they appear in Studio Tab, so instead of go from top to bottom and add 5 to the new one, you can just add the number before the existing number like pic below to make it thounsands unit.
Now, open the game and tada you have pretty organized non-defaults eyes in CAS (also great that you can delete the eyes you had in your folder that you donβt want to use anymore in the process)
