Creating custom icons for collections?

Archived from groups: alt.games.the-sims (More info?)

Not sure, but surely there is a way since there is a folder under
collections called Icons.

Just found this at modthesims2

You have an ample but limited selection of collection icons for use when
creating a new collection. If you desire a custom icon, follow this
procedure:
1. Quit the game.
2. Create an image for the icon. It can be 28 X 22 pixels or larger and any
of .tga, .bmp, .gif, or .jpg format.
3. Save this file in My Documents\EA Games\The Sims2\Collections\Icons.
4. Restart the game, and it's available for all future collections.
