Does CAS have Multiple recolors of the same item by different artists? Do you want to make it easier to find basic styles without having to scroll through tons of recolors? Try setting their prototype IDs the same so they appear under the same mesh but as a recolor option.

* Open your first package with S4S
 +
* Go to the warehouse tab
 +
* Click the CAS Part
 +
* On the right, Scroll down to find the PrototypeID
 +
* Copy the number that is in the box
 +
* Open the other package that you would like to appear in CAS under as the same catalog entry
 +
* Go to each CAS Part in warehouse view and paste the ProtoitypeID number from the first package into the current one.
 +
* Save your package and test in-game.
