This is great. I always thought it was dumb how a lot of the objects (especially store objects) were categorized. Thanks a lot.

Thanks so much for this. Was hard to make a kids room when I had to click on different tabs to find everything. O(^o^)O

Thankyou for this. My Wife and I were discussing the annoyances over various categories and have been going through our installed mods to fix these issues, but I must say it didnt cross my mind to do the entire official line of content too, great work!

I have a question for you. Does one need the base game package and world adventures if one has WA installed, or does the WA version cover the base game too?

Nice to see this available now. Does the Stancke set include the clock I mentioned in the PM to you?

Both packages are needed. Base game package only fixes base game items, World Adventures package only fixes World Adventures items.

Now the rain is just washing you out of my hair And out of my mind
Keeping an eye on the world
So many thousands of feet off the ground
I'm over you now
I'm at home in the clouds, towering over your head

You should put what each download contains so people know that they need to download both for Sims 3 items (base game) and WA items. And maybe explain this as you have here. I was confused until I read the comment here.

Quick question...

If I don't have all of the store sets, can I go ahead and download/install all of these anyway, so they'll take effect when I do get those sets? I'm worried that it will cause game crashes if the items aren't there for it to mess with.

If you install them and you don't have the set, you'll see a black thumbnail instead of the object's thumbnail. If you click that black thumbnail your game will crash. As long as you don't click them you will be safe

, be careful though!

This is great. Thanks! Hope to see the further recategorization of personal and family inventories, camera, bookshelf. That would save my life. Many many thanks!

Wonderful!!!

Thank you so much and how did you do it?
Can recatagorizing clothing be done the same way? Not a request that you do it. But I would really like doing the clothing if you can teach me how!

Thanks again. :lovestruc

It is possible to recategorize clothing, I have recategorized some hairstyles from the Store (a tiara that didn't show up in formal for example), it is a different procedure. If you want I can explain it to you, send me a PM.

Thanks for fixing these, especially the store objects. They were in the most stupid places

Have you only corrected the catagories when viewing by room sort? I ask because when viewing chairs by function sort they still show in the incorrect catagories and the Hands > Sands now doesn't show at all, not in the fences catagory (yay!) but not in the small electronics with the other clocks either (boo).

Office chairs should show be in Dining Chairs and not Miscellaneous Comfort, where are yours showing? This mod will fix both Room and Function Sort.

The Modern Minimalist clock works for me. I checked the files in my Mods\Packages folder and they are the same files uploaded here. Try redownloading this mod and reinstalling it. Do you have the latest patch? I haven't tested this with the latest patch (the one that adds Shop Mode & CAW). Further problems post here, I'll try to update and fix this mod.
