I made recolors of a dress that used the same mesh but there were differences in the buttons which required a different normal. S4S allows a mesh to have multiple diffuse maps, thumbs, and swatches but they all use the same normal. To use a different normal for the different button shapes, I had to create a new package and let that package contain the recolors that used that normal. However, I did not like CAS cluttered up with multiple entries of the same mesh. -->

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.
