SimSweep just got a MASSIVE update 👀
Hey everyone! So I've been going absolutely crazy on SimSweep updates and I genuinely can't believe how much has changed since 1.0. I wanted to catch you all up because there is a LOT to talk about 😭
The app got a full glow up 💅 The results page has been completely redesigned. Instead of a wall of cards you're now greeted with a proper dashboard, a CC Health Score front and center that shows you exactly how clean your Mods folder is, color coded green, yellow, or red depending on how much chaos you've been accumulating. There's also an animated heartbeat on your health score and a little broom that sweeps across the screen while your scan runs. It's silly but I love it.
SimSweep actually knows what your mods are now 🧠 This was a big one. The scanner now detects gameplay mods automatically and protects them so they can never accidentally get flagged as unused CC or deleted. WickedWhims, MCCC, Basemental, script mods, tuning mods, all of it. Before this update some of those could have ended up in your backup which would have been really bad. That's fixed now.
Build/Buy CC is finally in the picture 🛋️ Furniture, decor, build objects, all that stuff was basically invisible to SimSweep before. Now it's fully scanned, classified, and if you have save scanning enabled it can even tell you which pieces are actually placed in your saves vs just sitting in your Mods folder doing nothing.
Thumbnails actually work 📸 I know the previews were rough at launch. They're so much better now. The scanner pulls thumbnails from your game's localthumbcache file so basically anything you've ever looked at in CAS or Build/Buy will have a preview. They're also extracted during the scan now instead of on-demand so they load instantly instead of causing the whole app to choke.
You can delete CC directly in the app now 🗑️ No more manually digging through folders. You can select files and delete them right from the results page. Works across every tab, Used, Unused, Preset, Mods, Build/Buy. Shift+click to select a range, or just hit Select All. Merged packages and TSR files are still protected since those can't be safely removed individually (yet 👀).
Conflict detection 🔎 SimSweep now checks if multiple CC files are sharing the same CasPart IDs which can cause overrides and weird visual glitches in game. If conflicts are found you'll see a summary card for it in your results.
Tons of smaller stuff too! Creator grouping got fixed so you actually see individual creator names instead of everything being dumped under one folder. TSR items are all consolidated under one row now instead of being scattered everywhere. Scan history saves your last 20 scans so you can go back and load results without rescanning. The layout works at basically any window size now. So many bug fixes I lost count honestly.
This has been a wild few days of building and I'm really proud of where SimSweep is right now. More coming soon 👀 as always, drop any bugs or feedback in the comments and I'll get on it!
