Identify files in Tray Folder

Is there a way to identify files in a Tray Folder and tell where they come from?
  • Sorry for necroing this, I can't help myself.

    Guide on Carl's Forum for builds:
    https://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/forum/index.php?topic=26535.0

    Sims/households follow the same structure, guide on Lori Sims:
    http://lorisims.net/tutorials/english/sims-4-export-of-lots-and-sims/

    The easiest way of getting the right files are to save the household/build again, and then sort the Tray folder on Most Recent Changed; copying all the files with the same, and latest, timestamp.

    In my playsave I try to keep the Tray folder empty, and instead keep the files for my builds elsewhere on the computer, for backup. When the builds/sims have been placed in in a particular savegame, the files in Tray folder can be deleted without effecting those. As long as a backup is saved elsewhere - the current files in Tray folder are not needed; and may effect performance if too many.
