Nice ! It took me a night too to discover what field you have to edit in order for items to show up in World Edit.

They will be uncomptaible in my next update as I'm adding this to my recategorizer. I also included the billboards, traffic signs, some Riverview stuff, etc.

Note: By this, I do not mean your upload. I already made my versions, which should be the same anyways.

Yeah. Actually I also planned to add Riverviews object in the future. But if you created it first, then go on.

I haven't list all objects which don't show up in CAW which should be made shown in World Editor catalog. The only object set I know is Twinbrook object. Perhaps next time, or you first

THIS IS AWESOME!!!

Now, wait... what happends if I put train tracks in my world, export it and give the world to somebody else who never uses any downloads... will he/she still see the train tracks as they are actually EA content? If so, this would even be super-awesome!

I'm sorry to be a bother, but could you go into greater detail? The packages folder goes into the Create a World folder that is in the program files, right? And the resource.cfg, you just add that bit at the end of the current resource.cfg, or does it replace something else? I would really love to be able to have these items for my world, and I am so glad that someone was able to figure out how to do it! Thank you!!

I've told in the overview to append those lines on the existing Resource.cfg inside the create-a-world program files folder. Do not replace or remove existing value inside Resource.cfg which I believe will mess with your CAW. It's better to just put those lines at the end of the file.

Ok, thank you for your reply. I can't alter my resource.cfg anyway, it won't let me. But thank you!

Yeah it is because the Resource.cfg is on Program Files folder. You should move/copy the Resource.cfg to somewhere first (i.e: My Documents), alter it, then replace the Resource.cfg inside the Program Files folder.

that is great! I need some clarifications though (natural blonde here)
I copy the usual cfg i have in my games folder and add the lines you posted and then paste that in a newly created package folder in my CAW folder right? And those objects will show up in Metadata after that? or they are only accessible in EIG ? Becuase i never use EIG due to the fps issue.
I also agree with se-tka. I'd love the all BB items in my CAW as well and not only the bridge.
I hope when LN comes it wil add the new items to CAW, and we won't have to go throught this again for LN objects

They will show up in CAW metadata/catalog.

This is great, but I was hoping you could tell us exactly which OBJK unknowns you changed (and how, with what values). I have a few custom items I'd like to see in CAW, too...

Hm... somehow this won't work for me anymore after I have updated CAW to the Late Night Patch.

Nevermind. I just had to alter the resource.cfg again. Yay!

Now I hope people will figure out soon how to use the LN skyscraper shells...
I play Sims in German, so I apologize in advance for any "funny/wrong English term" I might use when describing something about the game. ;)

Hey- posted a thanks on another thread, the one about your large world, and then decide to come here with a few questions, if you don't mind. . . what is an OBJK, can I copy the resource.cfg to my desktop and make these changes? Does my BaXim tunable core mod conflict with this? Can a computer moron (me) pull this off? I always feel entirely over my head. Thanks again. . . your world map...formidable!

OBJK is a resource type in The Sims 3 package. It defines the object catalog attributes such as catalog type, room type, etc, and defines other things too which I don't really know :p.

Of course you can copy the Resource.cfg to desktop, modify it, then replace the original Resource.cfg inside the CAW program folder. Sometimes it has a user-privilege issues which prevent the editor to save the modification of Resource.cfg.

This mod will only conflict with another mod which alter this objects OBJK data which AFAIK no such mod exist in MTS except this one. Any core mod won't conflict this mod.
