⚙️ EUREKA! I figured it out! I can now create custom filters in CAS for just about anything. This is going to ruin my life… but maybe it'll make The Sims 4 a little more tolerable for you.
🦄 Re-blog this post. Share it around. @ your favorite creators. Tell your friends and your anemones. This is happening even if I have to do it myself.
💬 I know a Search Bar would be awesome, but it would require Scale Form GFX modifications that are beyond my current capabilities. At one point in time, TwistedMexi was working on something similar to Better BuildBuy but for CAS. I have no idea if it was ever finished. For now, this is the best that I can give you.
📸 I will take better screenshots when I get the chance. I literally figured out how to do this in the middle of doing my BASE GAME CAS Overrides, CAS Add-Ons, and CAS De-Bloating™. In other words, this completely derailed my week.

🌸 WE CAN DO THIS. YOU AND ME, TOGETHER:
For all intents and purposes, this is a "community project". I am willing and able to create and maintain the required override, the hundreds upon hundreds of unique 9-digit "IDs" for the "TagValueNumber", and the unique Strings, etc., but I can't possibly override every custom CAS item in existence.
Help me make this a reality, and also, keep your fingers crossed that the override doesn't break under the weight of the hundreds unpon hundreds of entries I'm adding to it.
Oh hai, @sims4studioofficial. Can you add a BATCH FIX that <LOOKS THROUGH MY WISH LIST> allows us to add a "SpecialContent" TAG with a custom "TagValueNumber" to a whole folder of CAS mods? Even if you can't get the "CategoryNumber" to copy properly, a BATCH FIX will at least eliminate half the busywork.
🎓 HOW IT DO, PIKACHU:
If you're well-versed in creating or modifying CAS content, all you need to do is add a new TAG to your swatches - you can do just the first swatch, but you should do all swatches - and change the "CategoryNumber" to "127" (without the quotes), and change the "TagValueNumber" to the desired 9-digit "ID".
For everyone else who is new to this, there are detailed instructions on the Patreon OP that I will refine and expand SOON™.
🌸 A UNIQUE 9-DIGIT "ID" FOR EVERYONE:
I wanted to @ everyone in this post, but Tumblr appears to have @ limits, so I'm doing multiple posts instead.
TagValueNumbers - Part 1: https://../781101093269749760
TagValueNumbers - Part 2: https://../781133788117942272
TagValueNumbers - Part 3: https://../781165285574131712
TagValueNumbers - Part 4: https://../781274185632727040
TagValueNumbers - Part 5: https://../781314537665298432
TagValueNumbers - Part 6: https://../781413445403820032
My pinky promises that I will not make this a regular thing. The "IDs" in red have been replaced by those in white. In the spreadsheet, the changed "IDs" are highlighted in GREEN.
Cheers! I can't believe a week has passed since I started this project.
The Tumblr OP might get overhauled.
The Patreon OP is currently getting overhauled.
Additionally, I have created JSON files for every filter.
These JSON files go into your "Documents\Sims 4 Studio\Custom Tags" folder and they add the custom TAGS to the drop-down lists in STUDIO and WAREHOUSE. If you know, you know, but if you don't know, I will explain in the Patreon OP.
The "127" in the JSON filename and TAG name is to remind you to configure your "CategoryNumber" with "127" because S4S is wonky right now. I have/will explain this in the Patreon OP.
