Better BuildBuy 3.0 Favorites - Release Candidate 1
🕑 Added 2023-09-07 20:43:19 +0000 UTCEver wanted to be able to pin the objects you use the most?
Better BuildBuy now has a favorites category that allows you to do just that!
This is a release candidate. That means that there may be updates between now and official release. If you notice any issues with the mod during this early access period, please let me know so it can be fixed before release.
Here's a quick start, in addition to the tutorial video above.
Features:
- Easily favorite objects with your mouse middle click (track pads can usually middle click with 3 finger tap or by pressing left and right buttons simultaneously)
- Favorites will stay even between mod versions.
- Debug and LiveEdit categories will automatically turn on the corresponding filter if it's not on when selected. This will avoid the "my debug is empty" issue.
- Inventory automatically turns on the debug filter if it's not on when selected, due to the frequency that debug objects end up in inventory.
Favorites Quick Start:
- Middle (wheel) click your mouse on an object to mark it as a favorite. You'll see a teal bookmark appear when favorited.
- Go to Browse by Function and set the dropdown to Favorites to show all of your favorited items.
- While in favorites, you can middle click to mark the object for removal from favorites. This is indicated by a small red bookmark.
- Removal is confirmed when you leave favorites or leave build mode.
Notes:
- When you favorite an item in a category that has "new item" markers, they will be removed temporarily. This is necessary because of how the catalog recycles cells for each object. The new object markers will return when you change categories.
- This currently works only on objects and not build items like floors, wallpapers, etc.
- I have plans to expand this feature in the future, but feel this is a perfect starting point.
Install Instructions
⚠ FOLLOW IT WORD FOR WORD. ⚠
1. Delete any existing copies you have for BBB.
2. Open the "TwistedMexi's Better BuildBuy v3.0 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.
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.

I have the 2022 model with M2 chip. I will look into finding a tool. Thanks for replying back to me.
TwistedMexi
Depending on model year, you might need to install a free tool to make it recognize the middle click gesture. There's several out there to pick from

How do I favorite items using MacBook Air?
TwistedMexi
It's not nearly as efficient as the core game engine at loading the category because it has to be read from a settings file. That's why I say it's heavily dependent on your computer. Collections will help alleviate this eventually I hope, but for now just try to be picky about your favorites.

The only feedback I have is I notice when click on my favorites it does take a while for it to load. And I don’t have that many items in there as of now. I’m not sure if that a mod thing? Bc I do have a lot of CC in general

Thanks! I don't know why I didn't think to do a scan with BE.
TwistedMexi
This happens if you have a conflicting mod in. Use better exceptions conflict report to find it

Anyone else having the issue of your live debug and cc filter along with move objects and ignore unlocks turning off? I can turn it on and then next time I enter build mode, they're back off. It's minor, but annoying.

Make sure the custom content filter is selected. I believe it's off by default when you first download it. It's in that same area where you find pack, color, etc filters.

Given how many mods I have in my folder right now, this will be a gamechanger for me. Thank you!
Jamie Hebert
I had to remove this MOD because I couldn't locate my cc. I have a ton of cc.
