For those who missed previous posts about this: It’s a project to edit the in-game categories that my cc objects will show up in. For now, I’m focusing on Buy Objects.
This project has 3 basic steps.
1. List the in-game categories for reference. 2. Decide where I want the various decor CC to show up in-game. 3. Edit the .package files accordingly.
I’m still on Step 2, but I’m also kinda doing Steps 2 and 3 simultaneously. Today’s progress was basically to decide several more categories such as:
- Decor Wall Items that are NOT Art/ NOT Flat. (Living Room|Video Games - no Function category) I wanted to get these out of the Wall Decor category, because I have so many paintings and artworks, they get lost in the multitude. - Candles and Candle Holders (Table Lamps/Table Lighting in both sets of categories) It’s just a gigantic pain to search for these otherwise. I want the holders where the candles are, since it’s basically just a two-piece set! - Tabletop Photo Frames (This includes floor frames. Bedroom|Clocks - no Function category)
(Link to the in-progress spreadsheet below for those interested.)
