Sonoma Screen Saver - No Custom Options?

Before updating to Sonoma, I was able to have my screen saver setting access a custom folder I had created with my own images I keep on my machine.


I do not see that feature in the screen saver setting for Sonoma. Unless I'm missing it.


Can someone help or point me to how to do that or answer if this feature is NOT available now? In which case, I'd be quite disappointed.


Thank you.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 14.0

This is how I did it, Mike4him: In System Settings, I selected Screen Saver. Scroll down to the "Other" category. Select "Photos." Go back to the top and select the "Options" button next to Photos. Once in Options, you should be able to select the folder you want to use for your screen saver. Close the System Settings folder. Test it to see if it works.

We shouldn't have to work that hard to get the task done. It should have been set up the same as Wallpaper.

I hope this works for you.
