Loverat, I though I was the only one with this problem... *sniff* it makes me so happy to know there are other people addicted to downloading, with the regular problem of losing vases. This will be put to use immediately, thanks!

Thank you for this collection of icons!
You have a solution for my problem, too. Every time I started to manage the chaos I missed the fitting icon. All the icons I took in those cases were a solution for the moment. This is great. Thank you for taking the time to do it!

Brilliant :-)
and good timing too, I have just started to organise my collections and make new folders, so these will come in really handy.
Thank you very much

Please note - I'm not taking any requests at the moment.

You may include my items in your uploads but please credit with a link to either the object or my creator page please.

No worries guys =) I knew there were others like me out there. I just spend some time working on my next competition entry and it was SO easy!.

For those who might not know - the collections are just a way to organise your content IN the game. There are way not enough categories in the normal buy list and due to items being cloned from others they can tend to show up in the wrong place =) When I download stuff - I wait until I have a heap - move out my usual downloads (HUGE) folder and make a temporary one with my new objects in it. You can add to your existing collections without them being affected (just don't OPEN the collection as the custom content you don't have in the game will be removed from the collection). It also gives me a chance to look at the item in game as I am notoriously picky about horrible shadows and bad UV mapping.

If you need help organising your downloads folder - you can check out this guide I wrote ages ago (and need to update ya say) http://modthesims2.com/showthread.p...7841#post257841

I now have mine sorted by creator as I tend to remember who made something when Im looking for files and the majority of creators of both meshes and recolours are really good about usig a standard naming procedure. It also helps to keep track of what site you may have got the content from =)

So very glad others find this useful and so very happy that font size 6 is readable in the game hehe.

This is just terrific...........will make it so much easier to figure out what a folder stands for. Now if there is a way to change an existing folder without starting all over again, I've got it made. Thank you.
