Anyone know how to filter out CC from CAS?

I'm asking this here because the actual Sims Forum is basically useless (given that I can't ask my own question because I don't neet the requirements despite being a member for 8 years, yes i'm salty af). 

I'm trying to make a base sim with NO CC but the CC is cluttering the CAS area and it take 4x as long since i'm having to scroll through endless CC to find the base game stuff. I'm looking for a way to TEMPORARILY (as in i want to be able to just filter it out then filter it back in easily) hide all CC while in CAS. I DO NOT want to hide EA items. I want to hide CC (so that only base game stuff shows up).

I have already tried the "packs" filter. The CC still shows up just with the content of the specified pack. 

Closest i can get it the "content" filter using the "purchased" tag but that filters out all base game stuff.

Any help would be appreciated.

    I would like to be able to do that too but haven't found a way to do it either.  There are times when I want to see just the game items in CAS or build when I'm looking for a specific item.  But I don't think you can do that short of removing your cc.  It's one of the down sides of using cc. You can see just all your cc but not the reverse. Because cc usually uses a game object or clothing item as a base, the game will still see those things as a game items internally and they will show up when you use the pack filters.

    The best you can do in CAS to speed things up is use a mod that gives you more columns in CAS so you can scan more items at a time.  I use the More Columns in CAS mod by Weerbesu that allows me to have 4 columns in CAS.  He also has versions that allow 3 and 5 columns.  Which one you use depends on your game resolution and screen size so you might need to try them all to see what works best for you.  You can do a Google search and you should be able to find it.  It is free.

    Hope this helps.

  • Just pull down the filters menu and open up "Content".

    If you check "Purchased" and all the packs  and not "Custom Content", then it will not show CC but show everything else.

    I thought that maybe a change had been made after reading your post since I have never been able to get just the game items alone.  I always got my cc no matter how I set the filters.  I just did some testing and found that I can get everything doing it the way you mentioned except the base game stuff.  So there's been no change that I can see.

    I can get all the pack items just fine with no cc showing.  Just not the base game stuff.  Not surprising really since most cc makers use base game items as the base for their cc.  When I used the purchased filter with the base game filter, I get nothing at all if I have all the other pack filters off.  The base game items don't appear to be included in that filter.  Are you seeing something different?  In your pic, all I see are pack items.

    @CGrant56 No, you're right. I never noticed it because I never actually NOT wanted to see CC.

    I took a good look at it and the whole system is completely messed up.

    You check Get to Work and you only see Get to Work. You check CC and you only see CC.

    You check base game... and you see CC AND base game?
    You check purchased and you see everything but CC and base game?
    You check purchased and base game and you see NOTHING?

    Yea, you're right. The whole system is screwed up.
  • always found this issue super frustrating. I would really appreciate if they updated the filters in CAS.

    is there a mod that does that?

    It's been a while since you made this comment but TwistedMexi has an upcoming mod called Better CAS which I believe will be doing this, they also have a mod called Better BuildBuy that does this for Build Mode
