EDIT: Updated to v2.9.1 for Infant patch compatibility.
Delete and redownload immediately.


Been wanting to add this for a long time but hadn't had a chance to tackle the tediousness of it until now. Enjoy!

v2.9 UPDATE:

Release set for 3/3/23 if no issues are found.

====PRIOR UPDATES=====

v2.8 UPDATE

v2.7.1 UPDATE:  Anyone who has reinstalled TS4 using the new EA Desktop app may have ran into a UAC error when trying to turn on BBB's Organized Debug. This is due to EA Desktop's file permissions defaulting to read-only.  v2.7.1 finally has an automatic fix for this, and BBB will fix the TS4 permissions on your behalf. If you have User Account Control turned on (the windows "are you sure?" messages), you'll be asked to allow "icacls.exe" to run. This is normal and is BBB attempting to repair your TS4 permissions for you.  Click yes and BBB will be able to turn on Organized Debug without issue.

Originally designed for Create-A-World's Lighting Editor, the color wheel control for lighting is coming to Better BuildBuy.


It's still accessed via shift+clicking lights in build mode, but now the control includes complete control over the lighting color. For support with existing builds, the control still includes the EA preset swatches.

Yes, the lighting does share through the gallery.
No, the lighting does not make your build CC.

As always, if you experience any issues please come to discord.twistedmexi.com to report them.

Public release now available!

=======PREVIOUS UPDATES=======

Welcome to BBB v2.5!  

Two main changes - firstly,  I've added MOO and Ignore Unlocks to the BBB options.
They can be found under the Organized Debug checkbox.

Secondly, my discontinued BuildBuy Deletion Fix mod has been renewed as part of BBB's features. For those unaware, this was a cheat that stopped BuildBuy from deleting anything, allowing you to make changes like wallpaper or modifying architecture without losing your objects. This is now an option in BBB's filter panel. Unlike the other options, it does not persist between sessions. This is intentional, as you should only turn it on while necessary and turn it back off immediately after. Undo may not work for anything you do with it on.  You will also receive a pop-up when turning it on, reminding you of this. No, the pop-up is not negotiable, it's one extra click and is still much faster than typing the old cheat. Without it, our support team would be inundated with players asking why they can't delete objects.

Better BuildBuy Quick-Start

Install Instructions

FOLLOW IT WORD FOR WORD.
1. Delete any existing copies you have for BBB.  
2. Open the "TwistedMexi's Better BuildBuy v2.9 RC1"  zip and drag the "Tmex-BetterBuildBuy" folder  inside to your mods root. (No subfolders!)    
3. That's it! Don't restructure or move the files in any way NOTE: On Mac, .zip files may automatically be unzipped when downloaded. In that case, drag the newly downloaded folder to your mods.

Hate to see you go, but if you are, it's best if you do the following first:

1. Open your game with the mod installed.

2. Turn off Organized Debug in your filter panel.

3. Close your game.

4. You may now delete the mod.

So I got a BE yesterday and it said BE was the problem....have I missed an update?

Taylor Green

Good news is I did not even realize I was missing anything until someone posted a pic of the icon, lol

Melissa B

Yes it's fixed and coming in the content update

TwistedMexi

Me again - thank you so much for updating your mods so quickly, let's face it many of us can't even play without them anymore. That being said - I've narrowed it down to BBB preventing skill icon from showing over the sims' heads when increasing the skill.

Melissa B

i got the same issue!!

cc.goossens

Hi there! After the update I found that the categories of chairs and decorations were messed up (all things show inside like doors and windows were shown in the decorations)… then I deleted the BBB and everything worked fine :'( Really like your mods, hope can solve it. Thankssss

Thank you. i have had it work for a long time with BBB just in the last few updates it was gone. turns out i forgot to toggle "debug" in the content section only did the organized debug

Cozy Naomi

Watch the 4 minute video on BBB , the filters section in particular

TwistedMexi

hi. I'm having a problem with organized debug. it doesn't show any debug items anymore. i own the game and have to run it trough steam so could this be the reason?

Cozy Naomi

I just want to say how deeply I appreciate the speed that you update your mods. I truly cannot build happily without better build/buy anymore, and when I am faced with having to while I'm waiting for your update, I am once again reminded of what a spectacularly helpful mod this is. I would never expect a modder to adapt their mods to a game patch within 24 hours because you are people too! I do appreciate it though, and wanted to say so. Thank you Twisted Mexi.

derain85

Thank you!

Rebecca

Thank you so much!

Tcee's World

Thank you so much for getting this update out so quickly! At least now those of us who love to build can get back into our build saves to pass the time while we wait for gameplay mods to update.

Kellie Schiavone

Hey there! I've put this mod back in my game to test its compatibility with the update, and any category that got new items put in it is now also full of all other build/buy items (I hope that makes sense). Is this to be expected until the mod is updated? Just wanted to make sure there wasn't a problem with my download or anything 😊

Nichole Faught

thank you!!!

GhoulBaby

That's a symptom of an improper install. Come to discord.twistedmexi.com for support

TwistedMexi

For some reason this latest version loads the Residential World Screen only and will not allow you to go to a World and select a household. I deleted this version and reloaded the prior version of BBB and restarted the game and everything worked normal.

Rock_Solid667

like make a mod that allow to choice which kits you want to use when make a sim in CAS, since all kits are in one grouping in CAS.

Shannon Rose Wiley

That's what the recent Better CAS posts are regarding.

TwistedMexi

Twistedmaxi could you make something like better buildbuy for CAS organize, because being able to selected kits you want to use would be nice.

Shannon Rose Wiley

wonderful! thanks 🥰

becmar

Cup of Joe is grandfathered into everything the early enthusiast tier has. If you're trying to see the better CAS content that requires a higher tier.

TwistedMexi

ahhh. i'm a bit confused, should I change my tier because i'm not seeing everything I was seeing last year

jimmy

Thank You!

Diamond

What do you mean listed as a patron? The fact you're able to comment means you are recognized as a patron

TwistedMexi

Hi I have just paid for annual the cup of joe tier, but I am still not listed as a patron

jimmy
