Title: Buy Mode Redux! - UPDATED MARCH 5! Post by: BlueSoup on March 04, 2009, 02:32:23 am Ugh! It's so annoying when you go into your Deco section and it's chock-full of crap that so should be somewhere else! It drives me crazy that those two sections are overly full even before you add the tons of CC you know you have!
So, I spent some time and recategorized all the Maxis stuff in each and every section in the game so it's in a category that makes more sense (at least to me). (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e90/BSoup/CatalogRedux.jpg) Each is a separate download, so obviously you'll avoid the reorganizers for the EP's/SP's you don't have. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Do NOT put these in your Downloads folder! Instead, you'll put this in the following folder: My Computer\C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\[latest EP or M&G if you have it]\TSData\Res\Catalog\Bins. Do not rename the files as they've got zz's at the beginning of the file to force the game to load these fixes after the game files.

Post by: MissCurious on March 04, 2009, 05:58:17 am My god BlueSoup! You make everything so much easier! :icon_thumright:
This must have cost you so much time and effort! Thank you so much for that, I'll download everything when I'm home! Title: Re: Buy Mode ReDux! Post by: holeinsocks on March 04, 2009, 06:24:58 am Thank you sooooooo much! I was so annoyed by this crap! Thank you for placing those in the right categories!!!
Title: Re: Buy Mode ReDux! Post by: redseawench on March 04, 2009, 06:52:33 am It looks like I am not alone in being annoyed by the unorganization of EA ;)
This is perfect :icon_thumright: .Thank you very much,I always dread going through the deco section of my game,maybe now I'll be able to find what I am looking for ;D Title: Re: Buy Mode ReDux! Post by: Nyx on March 04, 2009, 07:25:26 am Thank you so much, Blue. As mentioned, this must've taken a pile of time and it's super of you to share with us all. You rock! :headbang:
Title: Re: Buy Mode Redux! - UPDATED! Post by: BlueSoup on March 04, 2009, 07:44:15 am It took 50x longer to do the documentation than it did to do the actual work!
Anyhow, I've just finished updating the files. Please update the Free Time and Apartment Life files if you have those games. And thanks for being my patient guinea pigs to get the kinks worked out before I upload this to MTS2. :P Title: Re: Buy Mode Redux! - UPDATED! Post by: MissCurious on March 04, 2009, 08:54:45 am Even your post must have cost you a lot of time! ;D
And thanks for being my patient guinea pigs to get the kinks worked out before I upload this to MTS2. :P :sign10: btw... I'm pretty sure I hit the thank you button in your first post, but where did it go? ??? Title: Re: Buy Mode Redux! - UPDATED! Post by: BlueSoup on March 04, 2009, 08:59:09 am Even your post must have cost you a lot of time! ;D btw... I'm pretty sure I hit the thank you button in your first post, but where did it go? ??? My post took more time than anything else LOL! And I see your thank you, not sure why you don't...? Title: Re: Buy Mode Redux! - UPDATED! Post by: MissCurious on March 04, 2009, 09:00:58 am And I see your thank you, not sure why you don't...? I don't, strange... Is it to easy to say Ferris messed up the settings again? ;) :P :D Title: Re: Buy Mode Redux! - UPDATED! Post by: Ivanna Shagmoore on March 04, 2009, 04:36:20 pm I love you! ;)
Title: Re: Buy Mode Redux! - UPDATED MARCH 5! Post by: BlueSoup on March 05, 2009, 08:27:20 am More updates.
I made a mistake with two files from Holiday Pack 05 and classified them as Base Game instead, so that's fixed. I've also made a new version of the FT mod for those without Seasons, so the birdhouse will be in General \ Pets now, an icon that always shows even if you don't have Pets, and not in Build \ Gardening, which does not show without Seasons. And I've updated Ikea to correct a small mistake that you might not even notice if you have all the EP's. If you'd like any changes to my mods that you can't do yourself, feel free to ask :) Title: Re: Buy Mode Redux! - UPDATED MARCH 5! Post by: isabelle on March 05, 2009, 07:58:14 pm tank you so much :)
Title: Re: Buy Mode Redux! - UPDATED MARCH 5! Post by: gjscarritt on March 12, 2009, 02:55:11 pm BlueSoup IS da BOMB! Thanks a gazillion <smashes thanks button, hands out benes, stomps on a few BBS'ers just for kicks> for helping me with my special configuration. :)
Title: Re: Buy Mode Redux! - UPDATED MARCH 5! Post by: Cynarra on March 12, 2009, 06:43:07 pm Thank you! I was looking for something to organize all that archetecture stuff into the new category with M&G!
Title: Re: Buy Mode Redux! - UPDATED MARCH 5! Post by: nastygirl on March 13, 2009, 10:34:24 am Thank you for all the hard work, it is appreciated! ;D
Title: Re: Buy Mode Redux! - UPDATED MARCH 5! Post by: Alannis on March 13, 2009, 01:36:44 pm Wow!That's so very helpful,BlueSoup :love1: Thanks alot for your hard work.
Title: Re: Buy Mode Redux! - UPDATED MARCH 5! Post by: fnlemon on March 14, 2009, 11:49:07 pm Oh my this is Great! I just love it. Finally something that actually organizes everything. Now everything has its own place that makes sense. Thank you (http://wuerziworld.de/Smilies/girl/gi69.gif) BlueSoup.
Title: Re: Buy Mode Redux! - UPDATED MARCH 5! Post by: Sofya on March 18, 2009, 07:24:27 pm :o BlueSoup is fantastic! :notworthy:
Thanks for the Buy Mode Redux. This is wonderful. :love7: Title: Re: Buy Mode Redux! - UPDATED MARCH 5! Post by: Ferris on April 07, 2009, 03:01:43 am Wow, I can't believe that I totally ignored this until now. :-[
Thank you BlueSoup, this is way better than the original! Title: Re: Buy Mode Redux! - UPDATED MARCH 5! Post by: Dearest on January 03, 2010, 10:08:51 pm I hate to revive an old thread but I have a problem. When I installed this, my Sizzling Cuisine Mitts disappeared. There supposed to be under appliances/misc. but they are not there. In fact, they aren't anywhere! I checked under Decorative, and all categories for appliances and decorative, not there. I checked the Country collection folder too, and they were just gone. I removed this catalog edit and they reappeared under paintings as well as the Country collection folder so I know it is this mod that has affected them. I'm hoping it can be fixed because I really want to use this mod. Help is greatly appreciated!
Title: Re: Buy Mode Redux! - UPDATED MARCH 5! Post by: Ferris on January 03, 2010, 10:49:39 pm BlueSoup has been missing in action for quite some time now.
I don't think there'll be a fix to this soon. But I think she uploaded these to MTS2 as well, maybe someone over then is able to help you. Title: Re: Buy Mode Redux! - UPDATED MARCH 5! Post by: BlueSoup on February 06, 2010, 01:29:39 am I will check into the Sizzling Cuisine Mitts.
Title: Re: Buy Mode Redux! - UPDATED MARCH 5! Post by: Catherine on February 06, 2010, 05:43:10 am BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I missed you, darling!!!!!!!!
Title: Re: Buy Mode Redux! - UPDATED MARCH 5! Post by: BlueSoup on February 08, 2010, 11:10:55 am I removed all my CC and kept in all of these packages, and the Sizzling Cuisine Mitts are there. Right now I'm loading the game with alllllll my CC (so it'll take awhile) to check that way.
Edit: It's still there. Make sure you're looking for the same thing? Title: Re: Buy Mode Redux! - UPDATED MARCH 5! Post by: LysAka on March 18, 2010, 08:56:54 am BlueSoup YOU ROCK !!!! I love that mod !
