Collections!

[Spacerox]

Okay, so I'm testing this because I've never done it.
If I could get some feedback to verify I've done these properly (and that I named the right files), I'd genuinely appreciate it. (Meaning, could someone please at some point try just one and then later the other?)

These 2 SHOULD be ALL Sims 3 Base Game Buy Mode objects and all Sims 3 Store Freebies, they should appear in your collections folders with the Store bag icon on the "Freebies" and with the Interior Designer profession icon for the Base Game Buy Mode stuff.

The Base Game collection, because the filter shows ALL Base Game and store AND custom content objects, I created a more distinct list with ONLY base game items in it. As such, I included every base game object in buy mode as well as the pool objects and misc community lot objects like the trash can, radio tower, etc, but did not include the rabbit holes. I also did not go through and do all of the walls, flooring or other build objects. The Buy mode objects by themselves were a very large group and there are fewer Build mode objects from the store and each EP that I was less concerned about sorting them from the store and custom content at this time, but I may do another collection shortly with windows, doors, fireplaces, etc, that are base game only, just so that I have that collection as well.

The Freebies, I didn't include pre-order or the Pets Limited Edition Pet Store objects. I DID however, include registration gifts like the Generations phone, Riverview objects, Explorer's Loot, and the other EP registration rewards. I also did all freebies as I had them, including regional promotions (T-Mobile and Dr. Pepper, for example). If you do not have those promos, you will not show the items. However, if you have items from those sets that I do not, you will have to add them.

To install these collections, open your Documents > User (You) > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 > Collections > User folder. Paste these in there and they should show up as custom collection when you open your game.

I hope they work as intended.

More Collections!

Well, one.

Adding the Sims Store Tiki Set (the old one) to the collection of collections I am beginning. I will try to do different sets as I gather them. If you don't have the Store Tiki set, then this won't be terribly useful to you, but I thought it might be nice to have a few of the sets I've added over several years now as ACTUAL collections and not have to hunt around for that 1 item I'm looking for at the time.

I haven't bought any store sets recently, but I did go through a stretch where I bought a decent number as they went on sale and things. I may combine up some of those first and foremost and then start working on other collections, themed collections, etc.

Thanks so much for doing the Free Store Collection. I was thinking about doing one, now I don't have to. YEAH!

[Spacerox]

Yes, if you have additional Dr. Pepper items or etc that I don't have, I don't have very many of those, then you'd have to add those, but it includes all of the holiday sets and EP registration gifts and etc.

Except for the new Iams couch haha.

But it's much easier to add things to a collection as they slowly grow. The initial burst is so time consuming lol.
