Browsing your CC

How to search, filter, sort, and inspect your scanned CC files in My CC, including categories, file cards, and the inspector panels.


My CC is where the scan results actually live. After a scan, every file SimSweep found shows up here as a card. You can search them, slice them by category, filter by a dozen criteria, and click into any card to see exactly what the scanner found inside the package.

Getting started#

My CC needs an active scan to show anything. If you have not run one yet, you will see a Scan Now button and some setup prompts. Once a scan finishes, come back here and the grid populates.

Category chips#

Along the top of the browser are category chips that let you narrow the view in one click:

ChipWhat it shows
AllEvery file in the scan
UsedFiles that matched something in your saves
UnusedFiles with no save match
PresetsCAS presets
ProtectedFiles you have marked as protected
ModsScript mods and other non-package files
Build/BuyBuild and buy mode CC
AnimationsAnimation packages
BrokenFiles that failed to parse or are missing data
DisabledFiles you have disabled

Heads up: Used vs. Unused tracking works best for CAS CC. Presets, Build/Buy, and Animations are harder to match to save data, so the Used/Unused label on those files is less reliable. Check before deleting based on that alone.

The filter sidebar#

Click the filter icon to open a sidebar with more specific controls. Filters stack, so you can combine them freely. If expected files disappear, check whether multiple filters are active and clear the ones you do not need.

Search at the top of the sidebar matches filenames.

Additional filter sections:

  • Body Type (gender, body region)
  • Age / Gender
  • Outfit (clothing category)
  • Hair
  • Colors
  • Styles
  • Shoes
  • Build/Buy
  • Save File (which save the file appeared in)
  • Size (Any size, under 100 KB, 100 KB to 1 MB, 1 to 5 MB, over 5 MB)
  • Source (All sources, TSR only, Non-TSR)
  • Subfolder (where on disk the file lives)
  • Issues (Has conflicts, Has dependents, Flagged as threat)

The toolbar#

The toolbar above the card grid controls how files are arranged and displayed:

  • Sort: A-Z, Size, or Recently Added
  • Group by creator: A-Z or Most Files
  • Thumbnail size: S, M, or L
  • Export: Download a CSV of the currently selected files
  • Selected count and total item count appear here when files are selected

File cards#

Each file in the grid shows as a card with a thumbnail and a set of badges. Badges can show:

  • File type (Mod, Animation, Preset, Build/Buy, CC)
  • Scan status (Used, Unused, Broken)
  • Health flags (severity, risk level, Flagged as threat)
  • Pack requirement
  • Dependency relationships
  • Protection and disabled state

Right-click any card for a context menu:

  • Show in Explorer opens the file's folder on disk
  • Copy Path copies the full file path to your clipboard
  • Set Creator lets you assign or correct the creator name
  • Add to Profile adds the file to a saved profile (Decrypt feature)

The inspector panels#

Click any card to open the inspector on the right side of the screen. Three panels give you a deep read on the file:

Classification shows how SimSweep categorized the file: the detected type, body type, age and gender tags, and any pack requirements. This is what the scanner actually found inside the package, not just the filename.

Source shows where the file came from: creator name, source site, and any metadata SimSweep could resolve.

Health shows conflict warnings, dependency relationships, threat flags, and other issues.

Inspector action buttons appear at the bottom:

  • Explorer opens the file location on disk
  • Protect marks the file so bulk actions skip it
  • Unprotect removes that protection
  • Disable deactivates the file without deleting it
  • Quarantine moves the file out of your active Mods folder to a safe holding area

To take action on multiple files at once, select them and use the selection bar. See Protect, tag and delete for the full breakdown.

Empty states#

  • No scan yet: prompts you to scan and optionally find your Mods folder
  • No files match your filters: filters are active with no results, clear some to see more
  • No files in this category: the category chip has nothing to show in the current scan
