Sonoma custom screen saver images
How do you set your own images/video for macOS Sonoma screen saver (NOT Wallpaper)?
Had my own images for Ventura but no longer.
And why does Apple constantly make simple things more difficult every release.

In the screen saver tab in System Settings, scroll down to "Other" and click on the first item, "Photos." At the top of the window you will see the same choices you had in Ventura.
I think the reason Apple makes simple things more difficult in each release is that they keep adding new features, so they have to put the old features somewhere less obvious. That explanation doesn't make me any happier and I doubt that it would make you happier, but it's an answer. I just wish they would explain in the Help screen where they put the old features, like "to use your own photos...."

marty39's answer wasn't exactly what I needed, but it got me on the right track. In System Settings -> Screen Saver, only the first four screen savers are displayed under, 'Other'. Click on the link to the upper-right of Others labeled 'Show All (nn)' where nn is the total number of screen savers (11, in my case). My old screen saver (that I'd been using prior to upgrading to Sonoma) was in the list of displayed screen savers. Click on it, and voila!

When I click on Other and Photos, I only have the option of picking a folder for a slide show, not one specific photo, which is what I want.
Has anyone else figured this out?
Create a folder with one photo in it?
Perfect! Thanks.
