Better BuildBuy: Organized Debug v2.5.3 - My Wedding Stories Update
Added 2021-11-03 17:57:14 +0000 UTCTHIS IS AN OLD VERSION. USE TWISTEDMEXI.COM TO FIND THE LATEST.
v2.5.3 UPDATES:
- Updated Organized Debug catalog for My Wedding Stories debug and live edit content.
- There were a few new debug objects from the Spa Day refresh that didn't get imported. Those have been added to organized debug as well.
- Warning: There's 2 new objects starting with "stub_lots". These are those "oops I placed stuff up in the sky" type objects, so be careful with them.
- Remember to turn organized debug off, restart, and turn it on. This will ensure the catalog is up to date.
v2.5.2 UPDATES:
- Updated UI files for compatibility with the 11-2-21 Scenarios patch.
==============
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.
Updates:
- Added new "permission denied" error message for the few users who kept getting the desync message over and over, making the actual issue more clear to the user.
- The two warning files inside the tmex-betterbuildbuy folder now delete automatically after first successful run, to reduce chances of player confusion.
- Added a MoveObjects toggle to the BBB filter options. Do NOT use the cheat anymore. Setting will persist.
- Added an Ignore Unlocks toggle to the BBB filter options. Do NOT use the cheat anymore. Setting will persist.
- Added BuildBuy Deletion Protection to BBB filter options. Setting will NOT persist, by design.
- Updated light editor logic to allow cloning of rooms using shift.
=================
ORIGINAL BETTER BUILDBUY INFO
(This video will help you get started quickly.)
New Features:
- Having Organized Debug on no longer causes your lot to be marked as CC. That means you no longer have to restart the game constantly.
- A Light Editor has been added to build mode, with a dropdown for light selection. You can access it by shift+clicking any light.
- Debug/LiveEdit Objects for packs you don't own will no longer appear in the catalog.
- "Kit" pack filters have been split into their individual kits, so you can pick exactly which kit you want to see.
- Added a "Desync" dialog message. There's a few occasions where Organized Debug can be left in a bad state, for example after deleting your resource.cfg. This new dialog will show when organized debug needs reset. If you get it, all you should need to do is restart your game once and then you can continue using it as you normally would.

Better BuildBuy Quick-Start
- You don't have to use Organized Debug for TOOL. Just don't check the filter.
- Do NOT use debug or liveedit cheats. Use their respective filters instead.
- Do NOT install buildcam or expandable catalog separately. They're included in BBB.
- Filters are different! Please don't ask where your CC went.
Filters work as follows: Hide Maxis - Hides all regular objects that aren't debug, liveedit, or cc. Debug - Shows debug objects, replaces the need for the debug cheat. LiveEdit - Shows LiveEdit objects, replaces the need for the liveedit cheat. Custom Content - Shows Custom Content objects. Off by default, be sure to check this if you want your CC visible. Filters stay set even when you close your game, so you'll only need to turn CC on once if desired.
- Press 1 (number row) to toggle catalog size.
- Press Tab to activate Freecam mode in build.
- If you'd like to use Organized Debug, open the game and open your buildbuy filters. Scroll to Better BuildBuy and select Organized Debug. You'll receive a pop-up and will be told to restart. After doing so, Organized Debug is active.
- If you're completely new to BBB, I recommend watching my original tutorial.
Install Instructions
⚠ FOLLOW IT WORD FOR WORD. ⚠
1. Delete any existing copies you have for BBB.
2. Open the "TwistedMexi's Better BuildBuy v2.5.3 Official" 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.
Uninstall Instructions
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.

Shouldn't be crashing your game, but make sure you have the correct version from TwistedMexi.com as you're commenting on an old post.

2023-08-28 07:29:22 +0000 UTCI love this so much, its a life saver! I just have bb.moveobjects button turned on and live edit too, when I close the game and reopen it (Mods and Script files are acitvated in the options) and the game loads then a message pops up, telling me that some objects were removed. I couldn't see which objects were removed so I clicked on build & buy then I found some objects (wall shelves (highschool years)) in my household inventory that I had freely alt-placed on a wall. But they are always going to my household inventory everytime I open my game, why does it happen? Thanks in advance

2022-06-19 16:13:13 +0000 UTCI recently had to reinstall the Sims due to a hard drive crash. Now - every time I install this mod, I can only see some items from some packs in Build mode. For instance, all the base-game items are gone, with the exception of the unlocked objects. Seasons also missing, as well as a couple of other packs. When I remove the mod, everything is back, but then Tool won't work in Build or in Live.
Joan van Zyl
2022-06-11 07:42:45 +0000 UTCThat's expected. When instructions are followed exactly there's no reason to look in thar folder so it's okay that they're there.
TwistedMexi
2022-06-09 20:50:21 +0000 UTCJust as an information/feedback: everything works perfectly for me. But each time I install this mod (after each update) I get those files in my folder that say "you installed it wrong" - I just don't mind them as I know it's a lie ;D Just wanted to let you know that I get those files always.
Anne Elberg
2022-06-09 20:35:51 +0000 UTCUsually best to delete and reinstall
TwistedMexi
2022-06-03 02:41:44 +0000 UTCDo I need to uninstall this mod when a new version is released or can I just delete it and download the new one?
Cryzapphir
2022-06-03 01:15:50 +0000 UTCWhen I install the mod it says I’ve installed it incorrectly. I followed the instructions (unzipped and put the whole folder in my mods folder) but I can’t seem to get it to work. I have the TOOL mod installed the same way and it works perfectly. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong! 😭

2022-04-23 01:50:17 +0000 UTCHi, when I go to activate the mod it keeps saying that I've installed it incorrectly. But I swear I am!
Rebecca Knox
2022-04-23 00:54:56 +0000 UTCIt's installed incorrectly, sounds like you took the mods out of their tmex folder. Follow the instructions exactly as they're listed at the bottom of this post and don't do anything extra.
TwistedMexi
2022-03-20 08:09:40 +0000 UTCHello, I love your creations. Unfortunately, this mod is giving me an error. It seems that it is not working with the game update. This is the error I get: The listed script mod failed to load and should be removed or updated. Failure: 'Tmex_BetterBuildBuy' (Tmex_BetterBuildBuy) [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\besot\\OneDrive\\Documents\\Electronic Arts\\Los Sims 4\\Resource.cfg' (FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\besot\\OneDrive\\Documents\\Electronic Arts\\Los Sims 4\\Resource.cfg')

2022-02-28 22:28:14 +0000 UTCHello. I'm trying to install BetterBuildBuy and I can't seem to figure it out. I watched the video and tried my best several times but when I open the zip file and drag over to the mods folder (directly to mods) it still doesn't work. When I open the file once in the mods folder it has extra files that say I'm doing it wrong. I have never used mods before but have been using cc for years. I'm using a pc with the newest windows version. Sorry if this doesn't belong here.

2021-12-29 05:30:03 +0000 UTCI cannot for the life of me get this mod to work.. I’ve followed it by your instructions and whenever this is in my mods folder after the loading titles it goes to a white screen and no further.
2021-12-28 21:59:13 +0000 UTCIs it possible to turn off MOO as an option? Sometimes I like to build with it off. Currently I just remove MOO before loading the game.

2021-12-10 22:00:52 +0000 UTCHi! Do you think No Weather in BuildBuy is something you might be able to integrate into Better BuildBuy the same way Always Move Objects is with the check box? I usually like no weather in BuildBuy but sometimes I gotta have it! TY xx

2021-12-10 21:59:13 +0000 UTCSounds like UI mod may not be updated. Mine does that occasionally as well.

2021-12-02 19:44:41 +0000 UTCI read other answers so I made sure gane is up to date and it is. I also made sure I have the correct bbb I do. How ever i keep getting the same error or wrong version.
2021-11-30 07:36:26 +0000 UTCI am sorry this will not work I keep getting an error that it the wrong one.
2021-11-30 07:30:54 +0000 UTCEither your game or the mod is not up to date. TwistedMexi.com
TwistedMexi
2021-11-28 16:49:18 +0000 UTCHeya! So I just downloaded this along with the TOOL mod and its working as it should except one thing; for some reason the icons in my top right option bar in build mode are overlapping and not in the places they should be. The icons don't match up with what happens when I click them either. Any idea why this is? Thanks!
Varg
2021-11-28 16:32:20 +0000 UTCYes, means you either need to turn on script mods in gameplay options, or the mod is too many subfolders deep. The "tmex" prefixed folder should be visible in your mods folder. The only other cause is you've installed a conflicting mod
TwistedMexi
2021-11-24 03:29:26 +0000 UTCI am having an issue with the BBB mod. I am dragging the unzipped folder into the mods root and that's it. I have used this mod for months now and have always done it correctly and suddenly my game is still telling me that it's installed incorrectly. I have tried reinstalling. I have tried loading the game without the mod and re loading with the mod. I have also tried taking out all other script mods in case there was a conflict, still getting the same message. Was wondering what I can do to fix this? Thank you so much for your time!
Katy D.
2021-11-24 03:27:35 +0000 UTCHi with the new kit as always they don't show new kit, we can see objects but can't select the pack or see the logo on the item ^^ hope it will be fixed soon !
Erianne
2021-11-10 13:44:23 +0000 UTCThe error on filter open means either script mods aren't turned on or the mod is installed too many folders deep in your mods
TwistedMexi
2021-11-10 06:51:47 +0000 UTCHi, I've been having some issues since the update. Despite re-installing the updated file correctly and following the instructions on this post, my game is still telling me that it's installed incorrectly. Any time I click on the filter button it brings up a pop-up that says it's installed incorrectly. I've tried deleting the mod/re-downloading/re-installing it multiple times now, and I keep getting the same message. I have no clue what I'm doing incorrectly at this point because I'm doing exactly as I've done for every other new update you've posted in the past, and I've never run into this issue before.
