Hi!, Thanks for letting me know, but TSR did the batch fix on the site. I am working now on all the sets, checking each one every time. It is a lot of work but the Shingle Windows will also be updates by me personaly. Just be a little patience with me. Anja aka Mutske

Hello Willow!
Thank you for take the time to check other packages

However, we have no free time enough to spend learning a new tool for this already old game. Sorry. Workshop was our first choice because we use it since Sims3 and we already knew the basics plus a bit more

Even if we upload a 116 thumbnail on workshop, when export, it creates 256,128,64 and 32 resizements. It's how this tool work but still is the tool we chose.

Wish you a nice weekend with your sims!

We tried some different approaches on thumbnail matter, and then decided checking on other artists work. We saw that each swatch thumbnail becomes 3 or 4 resizes, even the ones who keep same thumbnail as we do. And their images show exactly like ours (32,64,128,256 and others 35,78,116), which is a pattern, meaning it is regarding the programs.

Checked both, creators who use workshop and also some who use s4s.
What I noticed also is S4S artists use 116x116 thumbnails and TSR workshop artists use 128x128. It produces a 256x256 resize but the original is 128. But thumbnails act the same, so seems there's nothing we can do to reduce that, since it happens with us all
We tried also delete other resized images on S4s, but if we remove that resized images,it acts weird in game because the catalog uses more than one size to show up, when you grab it or use the recolor tool... sorry to inform you the thumbnail thing is dead end.

After 3 hours of tests, gotta go for now.
Hope you understand we tried. Had no success, but tried.

Take care.
