CAS Search by macgrat — v1.0.0

Search for Pose Accessories & CC in The Sims 4

If you create staged screenshots, tell stories, or frequently use poses in The Sims 4, you probably know how difficult it can be to find a specific accessory among thousands of CC files.

Phones, cigarettes, flowers, bags, accessories for couple and group poses — all of these can be difficult to find in the huge CAS catalog, especially when you don't even remember which category the creator placed them in.

That's exactly why I created CAS Search — a mod that adds a search bar directly to the accessories catalog in Create-a-Sim.

✦ Features

• Search for pose accessories and CC by item names and .package filenames, including partial matches.

• Search across different accessory subcategories — no need to remember where the creator categorized an item.

• Automatic CC indexing without manual commands.

• Five layout options: 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 columns.

• Search directly in CAS without additional windows.

This mod was primarily created for storytellers, legacy players, pose creators, and anyone who enjoys taking staged screenshots. But it's also useful for players with large accessory collections!

✦ Installation

1. Download and extract the archive.

2. Place CASSearch.ts4script and one CASSearch_UI_...package file of your choice into Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods\CASSearch.

3. Enable Script Mods in your game settings.

4. Launch the game. After the CC index is created, you may need to completely restart The Sims 4.

Important: Install only one column layout option at a time!

✦ Compatibility

• No additional mods required.

• Not compatible with More CAS Columns by weerbesu, as CAS Search already includes its own 2–6 column layouts.

• May conflict with other mods that modify the CAS catalog interface.

• Search is designed for supported CC in your Mods folder, not for searching the internal names of default EA items.

• Tested on game version 1.128.90.1030.

✦ Feedback

This is the first public release of CAS Search, so I'd love to hear your feedback and bug reports!

I hope this mod makes creating your stories and staged screenshots a little easier.
