Suggestions for Sims 4 Studio - Updated

I've been using a program by GameTimeDev to sort and organize CC. It reads your mods folder, and dynamically sorts things into categories based on tags in the package file- incredibly useful stuff.

Thing is, it cannot generate thumbnails. You'll only see an image if the package already includes a custom thumbnail.

Purely for the sake of compatibility with a program like this, I'd like to see a batch "Add Thumbnail Overlay" command that takes the existing thumbnail overlay functionality and simply applies an invisible or single pixel overlay to any items in your mods folder, automatically forcing them to appear in a program like this.



I think this would genuinely revolutionize the process of sorting and deleting CC outside the game.

The current process for deleting unwanted CC is to load up the game, find the CC, save it onto a sim or a lot, save the sim or lot to your library, open them in S4TI, find the CC in the CC tab, find its location, and delete it.

With a batch to add thumbnails the process would become "Open this program, find it, and delete it".

If possible please add tags for the various furniture styles.

Really loving the new beta so far, but definitely some suggestions
1. would love a button text size increase. It's a little small for me, and I have decent eyesight so i can imagine some might be struggling. Even if relegated to the settings menu
2. Yay for the tooltip section under the description. Any chance we can get another box for furniture styles? (yes, I am aware I keep mentioning this 😅 ). Not sure the description is completely accurate though. Some of those attributes you add via tooltips don't require a change in tuning (like ambiance status effects) so it might be worth adding "might or" "may not affect"
3. Cutout Info Table bounds are not editable like previous versions. Adding that back would be very helpful

Nothing to report, just wanted to share my infinite gratitude and appreciation for your work, I'm so happy to finally be able to learn the blender 3 and just the idea of the software still being improved is so so nice. So thanks a lot to Andrew and all the S4S team for all your time <3

Thank you, Andrew and the team here at Sim4studio - This is one of the most helpful applications I know of to see the "guts" of files. Your time, effort, and continuing updates are most definitely appreciated - basically, I cannot say thank you enough!!!

I think one feature I would love for the future is linking/reusing textures for items that use multiple textures on an object. Being able to share a texture between swatches can really help with reducing package file sizes. An example of this would be counters.

Right now if I want to link a texture between multiple swatches, I export then delete the texture via warehouse, then add swatches which forces it to reuse that one texture, then import it back in. This method however only allows one of the textures to be linked, so it can be limited. If I want to add swatches where I change the countertop texture but want to reuse the counter cabinet texture after the initial linking for the first countertop texture, I am unable to do that as there isn't a way using my primitive method to achieve this. It's more of an advanced feature, but something I would still like to see.

Just like how Sims4Studio remembers the size of window when you exit, it would be nice for it to remember the size of the columns in the table in the Warehouse section. Even with the new Tuning Editor tab (an amazing addition!) I have to switch to the Warehouse every so often and I have to re-adjust the size of the columns every time I open a new file. With some projects I end up spending a lot of time resizing columns. If that's not an option, if it would remember the order of the tabs that would be helpful too. That way I can move the instance number or name to the first column and it would show up like that every time I opened it.
