Is there a fix, or alternative to Tidy CAS - and it's companions?

I realize this mod has been broken for a while, which is why I thought maybe somebody might have made their own version of it. But if there is one, I can't find it.

If there isn't one, is there an easy thing I am able to do in Sim Studio that fixes it. I am not a modder, but I have been able to do minor edits to cc, and I am under the impression this is just cc with a specific piece of info to place the thumbnail in a specific place... at least, that is what it seems like..

  • I didn't even realize it is broken. I am still actively using it in my game without obvious issue.
  • It shows up, so it isn't obvious. But items in the category are all meant to be listed after each category thumbnail. But somehow instead the Tidy thumbnails are sometimes in the middle of the sections where they should be at the start.

    It's technically not broken by itself, it's just that CC has been made since that isn't compatible with it. The way TidyDetails works, its DisplayIndex is set to -999 so it should sort ahead of everything else in its category. I'm not sure if the max used to be different, but nowadays people are giving their CC a lower DisplayIndex, presumably so it shows up first, but that's conflicting with TidyDetails.

    For example, one of the Skin Overlays I have sorts ahead of the Forehead Crease TidyDetail, because it's DisplayIndex is -500005. Everything else with a regular sort order doesn't stand out. Like I said, I don't know why it's only now that CC are popping up with such high numbers, but TidyDetails is only equipped to handle -999.

    This would technically be an easy fix since it's just a matter of changing all the TidyDetails DisplayIndex to -999999 or whatever, but unfortunately I can't find the creator's TOU to see if that edit would be allowed by them, so you'd have to fix each CAS Part's DisplayIndex yourself for personal use. :(

    Hope I explained well enough.^^



    This is kinda what I thought might be the issue because I have read people talking about sorting numbers before, particularly with masks and such. I looked for the their tou as well, but all I can find is the tumblr page, and I can't find anything on it. I understand the concept of sorting numbers, but I have never done anything that would involve them. Is the number something I can find using Sims 4 Studio? Do you know what I should look for? I'd like to try to fix it even though I know I can't share it.
