8th Nov '22: added a file for the pink UI and a second version for maxis UI with closer buttons with the help of HugeLunatic
This is a UI mod that makes design tool window a bit wider. Now fits 10 recolors per subset instead of 5.8th Nov '22: added a file for the pink UI and a second version for maxis UI with closer buttons with the help of HugeLunatic
There are 5 versions: for Clean UI, Starship UI, Flawless Pink UI, and 2 versions for original Maxis UI -- v1 with buttons apart and v2 with buttons closer to each other. Choose only one version and put it in your Downloads in a way that it loads after your UI mod (if you use one).
I tried to make the window even wider or have more rows, but it started glitching whenever there were more than 10 recolors, so this is it. Slightly better than before.
Credits to Maxis, greatcheesecakepersona, simstate, HugeLunatic for the UI images I used as a base

Conflicts
May conflict with UI overhauls and recolors (Clean UI, Starship UI, Flawless Pink UI, The Sims 2 HD UI), if the load order is wrong. If your design tool looks glitchy, find the conflicting mod in your folder and make my mod load after that other mod.
