As for organizing ... my own preference would be by size. To me, that is the most limiting factor. You have a certain space you want to fill. What will fit in there?
I'm guessing you could have at least 3 categories (S, M, L) with subcategories of orientation - landscape and portrait (which would include square - unless you want a separate category if you envision a lot more square pictures). For example, I wouldn't mind polling through all the small portraits to find the color, style, subject matter that I wanted to fit into a particular spot. If you wanted to, could you organize the sequence in which they would appear by color? (colorless, then rainbow order (R O Y G B V) for example).
Just some thoughts but I think it would be beneficial for the users and for you if you wanted to add more works later. If you want to add a new work, just drop it in the size and orientation that you make it. You don't have to make a new subject matter or interpret to which subject matter it belongs.
I know you suggested subject matter, but it might be frustrating for the users to search a category and find there is no medium landscape work in that category. Plus, subject matter is subjective. In which category does the "Red lady" belong? You might have to go through several categories to find what you're looking for.
Sorry for the long post. I just get to over-explaining myself sometimes.
Btw: I like what you've done with Isolde's back.
As far as size - there aren't really massive differences to be honest. I have a few large ones that would go well over a couch but in general there are all medium sized for maximum flexibility. Few if any will likely be as big as the vanilla museum sized paintings. Therefore the downside to that method will be a bloated medium sized category. Although it is an excellent idea. Since my first post where the sizes were all over the place, I've tried to clean em up and resize them to fit better for decorating.
Organizing them by color is an interesting idea. The way it works when you put it in the mod is by name, so right now your art will say "hammersmcp 01", etc. So in theory renaming with "Red - hammersmcp 01" is possible. I'd have to really look and see if I can pull that off - and if there are enough color choices.
All these are good ideas, I organize my hanging clothes by type and color (don't judge me it's a good system) so I completely get the idea.
Right now, in my decor mod, my art is separated into categories such as people, landscape, flowers, desktop, birds, butterflies, beach, misc. So I'd probably put the "red lady" in people. Obviously all those categories won't work for this scenario - but that gives you an idea of how that would work. I can also sub-categorize them, for example Landscape - horizontal, Landscape - vertical, or Landscape - flowers, Landscape - water, Red - People, Red - Landscape, etc. There are many variations, I want to reduce the amount of effort it takes to find the image you're looking for. I can even put the same image in multiple categories - for example Isolde's image can show up in b/w category and people category.
You have given me a lot to think about for organizing - I think I'll try a few different ways and then see how it works for me in-game.
I'm so glad you like the image of Isolde's back! I wish there were more images such as these - I don't want to have to label the mod adult, so a lot of images like these won't work. I'm glad I went back and checked your supporter images!
I'll review some screenshots and see if I have any more non-adult images that may be of interest.
>> Having trouble figuring out the best way to organize the menus for this mod
It seems to me that it's easier to organize by type of subject: paintings on the glass, paintings on canvas, posters, etc.
>> I just can't get enough of this one, it is so clever and the colors so gorgeous
The recipe for this colors is:
Glow / Bloom ENB by Vergessener ( https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/5743 or https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/5968 or https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/5912 )
Plus any colored, but not dark ReShade and Sky Stars Retexture ( https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/19378 ) + Soul Eater Moon ( https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/11653 )
(in case you are still adding more images - I think I might have a few pics that might fit in > would love to contribute to this lovely project, if you want)
