Better BuildBuy v2.0 RC4 - NoCC Organized Debug, Build Light Editor, and Better Kit Filters

UPDATE: RC4 should resolve the content filters being turned off when using things like the eyedropper tool. Update immediately.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the beta, and especially to the mac users who helped resolve an installation bug.  ๐Ÿงก

Better BuildBuy v2.0 now has a Release Candidate.
Assuming no further issues are found, it's scheduled for public release on 6/8/21.
If you do have any issues, please report any reproducible bugs to me on my
Discord. Thanks!

The RC includes a new light editor in build mode.
You can access it by shift+clicking any light.

(This video is somewhat incorrect now, but it's still useful for getting started)

New Features:

Did you know you can use TOOL in build mode if you're using Better BuildBuy? Grab TOOL here! 

Better BuildBuy Quick-Start

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.

Install Instructions

โš  FOLLOW IT WORD FOR WORD. โš 
1. Delete any existing copies you have for BBB.

2. Open the "TwistedMexi's Better BuildBuy v2.0 RC4"  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.

Comments

No that is just patreon being buggy. The correct file is on the actual post.

TwistedMexi

I just received an email with the zip file AND a better build buy package file. Should the package file exist alone?

Ruby Daniels

Yes, the correct file is attached.

TwistedMexi

Just a quick, weird question... in the email there is a separate tmex-BetterBuildBuy.package file that is 3606 kb. This file does not show up here... Is it just a stray file attached to the post notication?

Double-checked just now, not an issue with the mod. If you stop in my discord we can help get you sorted. https://discord.gg/tk4gCVcS

Whenever I go into the drag down for individual items and click on debug or live edit says nothing can be found. I do have the live edit and debug checked along with organized debug. And I have restarted the game to activate organized debug. Am I doing something wrong?

Anna Bowen

Instructions don't say to open the BBB folder, so normally no one should see those two files. Those files are there to prevent people from messing with the internal files, changing or renaming those will break the mod. If you dragged the folder to Mods, you're good. Just start the game and try it out :)

TwistedMexi

when i drag the BBB folder to my mods folder, and then open the BBB folder i see first "data" then "if you see this while installing etc" and then "please re-read instructions etc." then after that its the package file and then the TSCRIPT file. I feel like im doing it wrong if those two txt documents saying to "re-read" and "If youre seeing this..." are there....what am i doing wrong?

Thank you!!

No it's because you have always freebuild installed

TwistedMexi

Sorry I can't access the sim inventory, it says free build mode. Is it for BBB?

Q and E

TwistedMexi

This is probably a stupid question; but how do I get the camera to move up and down in free camera mode? The standard camera has the annoying always angled down aspect which makes it hard to line things up perfectly. The free move camera looks straight across; but is still too high to see what I want to see at times. Thanks for some great tools.

Deven Stephens

totally love this , thank you

Louiza Anderson

Could you please add a filter for Career Rewards, a filter for objects with an Emotional Aura, and the Mexican Heritage items too? Thank you :)

Blue Nerd

Thank you!! I don't know how to function without BBB anymore ๐Ÿ˜…

Thank you!!!

szanne7000

Yep. Beta -> release candidates -> public release. Not every mod update goes through a beta. Most start with an RC

TwistedMexi

#Confused ;) For those of us who are part of your patreon, are WE supposed to download *this* version, now??

Thank you!

Diamond

This is the best addition EVER! I was so tired of going back into the game to change the lights. lol
