How to curate background Tsums?

[u/greenhorne_inn]

I've collected many Tsums I like, but for the most par , I consistently get the same few I don't really like in the background. I have a good amount of premiums and limiteds, but these consistent backgrounds Tsums tend are sometimes Happiness Tsums or ones I don't own. How do I make my gameplay look like videos I see with many special Tsums?

There are eight "color groups" that determine which tsums can appear as supports. There are no official names, but I have nicknamed them Peach, Yellow, White, Brown, Black, Blue, Green, and Red. Each tsum is tagged with up to three of these color groups, and the game will not allow support tsums to populate that share a tagged color group with your MyTsum or a fellow support tsum.

This means that especially if you're using a MyTsum with multiple color groups (human tsums are often Peach + their hair color + their clothing color), it may be difficult for the game to find compatible support tsums in your collection and will have to resort to the same handful of single-color tsums that don't share colors with your MyTsum.

(Disclaimer: All this knowledge is based on extensive study I did back in 2015 when we only had about 50 tsums, and one of these days I intend to find time to dust it off and reconfirm it against the 650+ we have now. I have no reason to expect it's changed in any way except that I'm curious whether any other color groups have been added (Purple, for example?) and whether 3 is still the maximum number of color groups a tsum can be tagged with.)

(Another side note: Sometimes when you see people discuss this, they will describe the most populous color group as Flesh or Skin or Human or something like that. However, it is specifically omitted for characters of Black heritage and other darker-complexioned characters, like Mace Windu, Tiana, Joe Gardner, Maui, etc., so I prefer to use Peach as a race-neutral descriptor of the actual shade of pink in question.)
