The HELS package is ready! Download it now!

Club Vaindenburger and Faire Folk Life recategorizers were added! Download 'em now!



Install them in the latest EP/SP folder.

This is great, but couple of suggestions:

> Could the basgame candles go under lighting > table lamps?
> Could all the tomb block items under deco > misc be made all the same price for ease of access? And all those broken carts = same price?
> Could the really ruined column go under columns?

Thanks.

UPDATE March 7th

The Sims 3 Recategorizer recategorizes clothing!

• NPC & Townies won't wear the farmer outfits that came with Riverview.
• Dr. Pepper's Jacket shows up in the Athletic category too.
• Wild Wears' clothing was recategorized. Tops and outfits show up in Everyday, Formal & Sleepwear. Shoes show up in Everyday & Formal.

I'll add more Store sets soon!



I don't understand. The broken carts are already recategorized, they can be found in Miscellaneous Décor.

I mean making them the same price, so the catalogue looks neater.

Your Club Vaindenburger file doesn't seem to move the new chair from misc to dining but your files do with all other similar wheeled chairs.

It doesn't? I thought it did, I'll check it.

Do you see what I'm getting at?

I'm not able to see these objects for some reason, they show up as black balls both in game and as thumbnails. Does this conflict with any mods? I do have several game mods installed at the moment.

yea i get the black balls too

While I do really enjo the fact you're dedicated to recatorgizing, I'm having issues also with the black balls. Its mainly store items, but not all of them. Specifically its the children's items that pop up the most as those black balls. Purchased or otherwise. For now I'm removing the store recatogorizing one, but is there a fix on your end, or something on my end I need to do?

@clutzy: you may need to decrapify the recategorizer package file.

Is there an update of this mod with Ambitions EP and new store items? Thank you.

An Ambitions update is coming soon. I'll recategorize scultpures so they show up in the new Sculptures category.

I don't have Ambitions yet, but I downloaded the latest patch (1.12/2.7/3.3) and I'm updating the files to include items in the new Sculptures sorting category.

Edit (June 14th):

New sets (Island Villa, Championship Dreams, It's Game Time!, etc.) were added and older store sets were modified.

Items moved to the Sculptures sorting category:
Tiki Idol (Tiki)
Amphora (Storybook)
Statue (Storybook)
Art Object (Hewnsman)
Globe (Regal Living)
Incense Burner (Worldy Goodies)
Dragon's Vase (Explorer's Loot)
Eiffel Tower (Explorer's Loot)
Cupid Statue (Happy Valentines!)
Armor (Gothique)
Glass Spider (Gothique)
Skull Bunny (Gothique)
Football Trophy (Championship Dreams)
Motorcycle Model (Championship Dreams)

Items moved to the Laundry sorting category:
Hamper (Ultra Lounge Youths)
Woven Baskets (Island Villa)
Woven Trunk (Island Villa)

Missing Store sets:
Sun, Surf & Sand (Sleep)
Ultra Lounge Kitchen + Bath

I'll add these two later, as well as the Ambitions recategorizer.

Edit (June 26th):

• 14 Ambitions sculptures, 5 music boxes and 1 dining chair that were in the Debug category now show up in their proper category.
• Shelfs were moved from Misc. Storage to Displays.
• The china cabinet and laundry cabinet now show up in the Cabinets sorting category.
• The Collection Helper, Moodlet Manager, Body Sculptor, Food Replicator, Teleporter, Reward Fridge, The Fox, Firefighter of the Year Trophy and Firefighter's Coat now show up in the Debug category.
• The police car and fire truck now show up in the Debug category.
• The fog emitter was moved to the Tomb Objects sorting category.
• The special items that can be bought from the special merchant can now be found in the Tomb Objects sorting category. These items include: Thief's Coin, Mummy Snacks, Pemmican, Tear of Horus, etc.
• World Adventures and base game files were updated for Ambitions.

Is the Firefighter's Axe reward available with this mod as well?

I accidentally moved with it hanging on the wall and I fear it's gone forever. My sim's awards wall just doesn't feel the same without it.

Estupendo! Muchas gracias ;D

Yea, it is the Firefighter of the Year Trophy . I put it in the Debug sorting category because it had no price.

To see the Debug category, type:

1. Ctrl + shift + C
2. testingcheatsenabled true
3. buydebug

I'll update soon to include the latest Store sets.

Awesome, thanks so much for the quick reply. I did read about the trophy being included but thought it was some sort of a wall plaque. My mistake.

Couple of points:
>
You haven't repriced the WA blocks of rock under deco > misc.
It would make sense to have trhem all the same price, and also the broken carts.
If youre not sure what items I mean, tell me and I will go into more detail regarding this.
> Aso, the WA statues are still under deco misc.
> This appears to have changed some of the categories of my CC ??

Thanks!

Try redownloading the WA package, I thought I update it (I did but maybe I forgot to reupload because in my game they're in the Sculptures category).

I still don't know which blocks you mean, can you get me a picture?

CC? I haven't touched any CC but I'll check just to be sure .

Hi SimsMX.
oK, the CC items appeared to swap categories the first time only, after that they were back to normal (I promise!)
And these 5 items here should probably just have two prices rather than five.
Otherwise, perfect! Thanks!

First off. Love this Mod Had to remove it afer the update (consistent comp lock. Ram shoots from 89-93% -freezeing all) it would cause the game to freeze, ONLY WHEN I attempted to scroll in the Misc. Object Category. Started throwing away alot of objects thinking I had an corrupted file there. Scanned packages and reviewed sim packs. No problem? Finally took out the Recat. and okay. Will slowly put back in one at a time to see what pack is giving issue. This is invalueable to my int. design sim. Thankyou.

Sorry away sick. Everything up to 6/13/2010 I had no problem with. Going to add the updated base game to see if that changes if the misc. Obj folder freezes game.

The base game, ambitions update, cause the the memory to increase to 83% and higher when attempting to acces the misc objects. (Removed from game). The updated base game for ambition. Didn't even produce a log when it crashed with base update. Tried the Ep1 6/26/2010 with no problem last night. Sp1 is fine. Will be adding putting in SP2 for play this evening. The store items so far have no issues. Will get back. Any Ideals on why the base pack, update crashes game or can I get the previous one before the update? That one worked for me.

For me it's only the base game, updated, version, that totally crashes my misc. objects catagory. Is anyone else having this issue???? I really LOVE this mod and it is the only one that will not allow me to click on that specific file. Can access most items if they cross catagories but can't specifically touch "that" button. Will not even give a crach report.?????

Thanks for posting this. I haven't had that problem but I'll update this mod ASAP.

Edit:
I had the same problem when updating the files and I'm unsure what was causing it, but it is fixed now.

If you still have the problem, try this (it worked for me):

1. Delete all the recategorizer files.
2. Delete your caches.
3. Run your game and exit.
4. Download the new files.

Update (August 10th)

Re-download the files please.

This new version:

• Reduces file size (useless OBJK resources were deleted).
• Fixes placement flags (download fixed_ftpt.package).
• Removes Bars from Miscellaneous Surfaces and Buffet Tables from Dining Tables.
• Moves Parking Spaces, Bike Racks and Garage Doors to the Miscellanous Vehicles sorting category.
• Makes a decorative WA column and Pastorial Reflections a fully functional column/mirror respectively.
• Fixes some topic ratings like Stereos displaying "+ Group Activity" instead of "Group Activity".
• Includes latest Store sets.
• Includes Clara's unlocked stencils for several Store items.
