do you want to be able to switch between viewing your grunge and lolita cc in CAS? maybe you made a fairy and you want to limit their closet to your cottagecore and plant themed cc? or maybe you just really want to track down that specific victorian era dress you downloaded...
i figured out an easy way to view cc in CAS by ANY themes or styles you choose and i wanted to share bc i haven’t heard of anyone else who does this! i have 40gb of CAS cc of all styles and this helps me find the cc i need for any style of sim.
the simple explanation is below the cut and requires a basic understanding of how to change tags for an item in sims4studio, as well as viewing items in CAS by tag. if you don’t know how to do either of these, i am linking an in-depth beginner’s tutorial here and i’m always open for questions :3
ps this doesn’t work for certain categories (skin details, tattoos, body hair, scars)
basically, in sims4studio, instead of tagging individual swatches by their actual color, i use the color tags to sort items based on theme(s). each color corresponds to a theme or style, or even multiple styles.
the colors available in CAS are red, orange, white, black, blue, yellow, pink, brown, green, purple, and gray. i have a sticky note on my computer that lists the colors and the themes/styles i organize by and i actually assign multiple themes to some colors. for example, i color tag space-themed cc as purple, or emo and vampy cc as black and apply to all swatches for that item. in CAS, when i want to view space cc, i check purple and custom content and i can see all my space cc. even better, swatches can be tagged as multiple colors and you can view multiple color categories in CAS at once. the result is a quick and easy customizable CAS closet
some categories you can organize by: historical, goth, y2k, fairy, fantasy, grunge, island, kfashion, basics, lolita, modest, western/cowboy, etc. literally whatever categories help you the most!

important tags under the cut :)
important tags - as of right now, i don't use the mature or violence community labels, however i do my best to tag nsfw, blood, etc. which i do post/reblog occasionally. i don’t really content tag music
tags to look out for are as follow: nsft, nsft ish, cw blood, cw gore, cw (common trigger without parentheses), b* (musician name without parentheses)
*nsft ish is nonsexual nudity or suggestive stuff; slightly nsft
I’m Grateful, arrogant self centred, tenacious, versatile, honest, honourable, loyal, loving, gentle, consistent, reliable, focussed, prideful, passionate and nuts. I have a head like a disco ball, if I say I’ll do something, unless I absolutely can’t it gets done, I never give up on humanity, I love people. I want to see communities stand up, honest and open, flexing to the fullest of their capabilities and combined usefullness. happy. I laugh at bullies. I am reactionary but I have learned to hold my tongue and my trigger finger.
