2D is normal for us, 4S is a slightly lazy bid.
I think that 2Nt followed by 4S is saying that you were looking for all around strenght (meaning D arent wasted values) and that 3S followed by 4S would suggest D shortage but that S support might be important.
This is of course assuming that 3S is forcing and that ogust followed by a jump isnt a splinter or whatever.
I still dont think ill be able to reach 6S.

From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

One thing is being lazy, the other is being practical and realize there's no way to bid 6 with confidence. The suggestion you present is fine, but has two problems:
1. Is pard on the same wavelenght as to what 2N + 4♠ is? Are you sure he won't take that as some sort of splinter/voidwood/whatnot?
2. Even if pard is in the same wavelength, the decision is being passed to a hand which is weak and hence has no clue whether his side values fit (if they exist).
It's never as easy as we'd like it to be

Also using ogust with a void and GF values is pretty lame.

2D----(X)------3S (single suiter GF)
3NT------------4C
4H--------------5C
???
I think all the bids are pretty obvious so far. 3Nt denied a fit, with no points in D 4H is pretty obvious. 5C is obvious too. Now depending the style of preempt opener might bid 6S because of the Q of clubs.

4S is fine. The 2D bid was not. End of story.
