Wrong pack release order?

I never quite understood how CAS items are sorted in TS4 so I decided to work on a mod that sorts CAS items by pack release order, similar to how it worked in TS2&3. I managed to get the PackReleaseOrder array from gamedata.GameContent and used it to sort CAS items. It appeared to work perfectly at first, except that it somehow thinks Kids Room Stuff was released before Dine Out.

And then I checked the xml files for ui tuining and found out that it incorrectly lists SP07 before GP03.


BASE_GAME
FP01
GP01

SP01
SP02
GP02
SP03
SP04
EP02
SP05
SP06
SP07
GP03
SP08
EP03
SP09
GP04


However, even after overriding this xml file and the corresponding DATA file with the correct order, the UI somehow still has the wrong release order. Is the UI getting this info from somewhere else? Can you guys fix this in a future update if it's in somewhere we can't edit?
  • Hey @elelunicy,

    That data does come from the tuning, the UI needs the DATA version of the tuning so my guess is that something didn't work there correctly when you made the change. The UI also uses this ordering in the pack filters (in CAS and Build Buy) and the credits dropdown (that lists all the packs), so you could also look at those as well for confirmation if your changes are taking or not.

    So you should be able to correct it.

    And I'll look at getting that fixed.

  • @ActuallySammy I think it's just bothering him.

    You have quite the keen eye to notice that! @elelunicy
  • Is this one of the xml resources that also has a DATA resource associated with it that also needs editing? Oh you did, I missed that bit.
  • Hey @elelunicy ,

    Did you ever post that mod somewhere? I would looove to have it in my game. It really bothers me how everything is scrambled
