Am I the only one who hates this new wrench icon thing?

In theory I wouldn't mind it if it wasn't the biggest most obnoxious icon they could possibly use, even if it's on every swatch of a CC item. If the wrench was shrunken down to a quarter of it's size and placed in the corner of the swatch that'd be much better imo.

They should fix it. It is ugly.

I like the instant recognizability of custom content with this symbol but they should make it a game option. Thanks orangemittens and andrew for the two mod variations so we can choose despite the lack of toggle for this in the game itself. Thanks lavsm for linking to the solution.

Thanks for the fixes. Are there any plans for a tutorial on how to make our own replacement icons?

That's fine, I just wanted to try to make a smaller icon for the catalog thumbnail. Thanks.

Well, I actually like the visual identification, in general. Though I do agree that the wrench icons on the swatches are way too big and intrusive.

At first, I too thought there was no reason at all to have the icons on the swatches. BUT . . . then I realized that I do have a few (albeit rare) instances of recolors that add swatches to the existing EA catalog thumbnails. Actually, I kind of prefer that, assuming the recolor is really not a huge departure from the original. That's actually a thing I want to look into and do a bit here -- combine some of these recolors I have so they use the same catalog thumbnail rather than having a bunch of entries for crop tops, with 6 colors on that one and 4 on this one and . . . you get the idea. The catalog is just getting too big and too much to scroll through, and some of these things really don't need separate thumbnail entries.

Anyway, I'm happy to see the AOM mods for this, and I've just DL'ed the one that changes the swatch icons to dots, so I'll give that a try. Sounds like it should be good for me. Thanks again for providing us all with choices to make our game work the way we'd like it to!
