Changing categories on CAS item?

Hi bionicdesserts, I changed the category tag on those boots using Studio v 2.5.0.8 (Joy) with no problem. What I did was click on the My Projects button and navigate to the boots.package:

Then, after selecting the Categories tab, I removed the check from the Sleep category, clicked the Apply To All Swatches button, and then clicked the Save button:

I repeated this for the other pair of boots and in CAS they showed up fine:

They also showed up in the game. If you do it this way you shouldn't have a new .package at the end of the process. You will just be making changes to the existing .package. If, on the other hand, you cloned the boots as a custom content recolor and put the new .package into your mods folder without the original .package also in your mods folder then the boots won't show up either in CAS or in the game.

_orangemittens_, THANK YOU! I knew it should be a simple process but no matter how hard I googled I couldn't figure it out. It felt like I was taking crazy pills. Thanks so much for the help.

You're welcome...glad to help :) If you ever run into questions using Sims 4 Studio you're always welcome to post in the Creator Help section at Studio forums too. Everyone there is friendly and helpful.

Hi bionicdesserts, what item is it you're trying to change the category tags on and which version of Sims 4 Studio are you using to do it with?

Hi! The items are these boots and I am using Version 2.5.0.8 (Joy).

Try editing the existing package instead of making a new one, perhaps? You can edit CAS Part flags in s4pe too.

Hi, does anyone know how I do this with CC items but changing what category they are in (e.g from accessories to makeup) because I downloaded some really cute CC eyelashes but they appear in the accessories category in CAS which is really annoying because it means I cannot put glasses over them. Thanks! :smile:

I'm having the same issue. When I try to move the CC to an entirely different category, they don't show up in game at all.

If you are looking to change an item from accessories to makeup as mentioned above you, this can also include changing the way the item is meshed and is not so simple. Here is the link to creator help at Sims 4 Studio if you would like to learn more. I have requested that this thread be closed as it is from 2 years ago.

Going to close this one off folks. If you have any questions about necroposting you can read this thread here : Necroposting
