Thankyou for these folders, they are great. Could you please also make a set of plain or patterned folders where the favourite artists works can be stored for ease of finding them. I too am an "aholic". Thanks

I don't plan on making other icons at this time.

No. As I said in the description, you'll only have things in the collection folders if you have those store worlds. Except base game. I would guess you probably have that. Collection folders are just a way to organize content you already own.

I only have expansions up to supernatural (patch 1.38). Will this give me problems or glitches? Is there a way I can select which collections I install?

Do not install pescado's mod. It is the one producing the errors it warns you about. Get Twallan's instead. It cleans your save file and prevents glitches.

This is GREAT Heaven! Thank you sooo much for taking all the time and effort to do this for us!!! I only just started trying to organize my CC the other day and this will definitely make it a LOT easier!!! :DDD

edit: I just went in game and noticed that I have a lot of 'blank' folders! They have the items in them but they don't have the icon on the folder...? I also noticed that you have a lot more icons pictured in your upload display than I have showing in my game (collection folder)...? I have all EP/SPs except that candy one, and I also have all the store worlds! ??? I DL'ed the 1.63 icons and the collection files, what am I missing?
Thanks!

I know this is a silly question but you are patched to 1.63, right? I tried both versions in my game and, since I am only 1.57, I was missing all the icons added with Into the Future but, otherwise, it worked fine. If you create a new collection, do you have the store world icons in them? If so, maybe they somehow didn't transfer but you can reset them by using "edit collection" and choosing an icon. Also, do you have any other mods that add collection icons? Sims_MX, the Simalogue, and badromance99 are a few creators that have mods like this available and if you have those as well, it will conflict.

LOL! Yes, I am patched to 1.63! And no, I don't have any other collection organization mod.
I took some screenies so you can see what I see:


There were a couple more, but I figured you would get the idea.


This was in editing Riverview, but it was the same in starting a new collection.

I'm fairly new to TS3 (been stuck in TS2 all this time! ;P ), so I'm not exactly sure what I should and shouldn't have in there. That's why I took the pics!
It does seem to me like there are a couple extra icons that I haven't seen before, specifically the ITF EP, but also a few others look new.

Thanks again for your help!!!

Ah! That's it. You need the Collections in the Collection folder but the mod itself (heaven_collectionicons_1.63) should be in your Packages folder like regular custom content.

I know this was made a while ago and you probably still don't have it, but I was wondering if you knew of anywhere that does actually have the collection file for Midnight Hollow? thank you.

I've trying to create a lot for uploading which is Base Game only, and this is going to make the job a lot easier. Very useful for general game play too. Many thanks.
