Is there any reason why the 5 EA Sports Rugs that came with Free Time are separate in the catalogue? I see none.
So now that joninmobile explained how, I hid 4 of them (the basketball, the cricket, the eightball and the soccer one).



One zip has a single file to hide all 4 rugs, and another contains 4 hiders if you want to keep any of the 4 ball rugs for whatever reason. (They cannot be recoloured, so that's not a concern). You only need one of the ZIPs.

To preserve the textures for those who want them, there are also 4 recolours for the EA Sports Baseball rug. These are TEXTURE-REFERENCING recolours, meaning that they contain no texture of their own, just a "link" to the original (and now hidden) textures.



Installation:
The hiders go into your Downloads folder. Delete to remove.
Put the recolours in
Program files/HighestEP/TSData/Res/Catalog/Bins or
Program files/HighestEP/TSData/Res/Catalog/Skins
(with the added benefit that they will have no CC star).

If you had these 4 ball rugs in a house before, they will just disappear when you introduce the hider mod. The lot will not crash. (At least none of my test lots did).
Enjoy your cleaner catalogue!
