The Sims 3 Recategorizer

This mod is outdated, an up-tp-date version can be obtained from Simlogical.

Have you wondered: why are Fountains under the Miscellaneous Décor category instead of Miscellaneous Plumbing? Or why are three dining chairs under Miscellaneous Comfort instead of Dining Chairs? For the picky ones, Sims MX has a fix!

This mod will recategorize base game, World Adventures, Ambitions, High-End Loft Stuff and Store items into proper categories. Below is a summary.

What It Does?:

Rearranges the Catalog
  • Fountains were moved to the Miscellaneous Plumbing sorting category.
  • Office chairs were moved to the Dining Chairs sorting category.
  • Partitions were removed from the Living Room Sort and added them to the Accents sub-sort in the Bathroom Room Sort.
  • Pedestal Sinks were removed from the Kitchen Room Sort.
  • Table and Floor Lamps were removed from the Kitchen Room Sort.
  • Candles and Torches were removed from Nursery Room Sort (won't somebody please think of the children?!).
  • Double Beds were removed from the the Nursery Room Sort.
  • Kids-related bookcases, dressers, surfaces, chairs, and beds were moved to the Furniture sorting category.
  • Kids-related paintings, shelves, and sculptures were moved to the Miscellaneous Kids sorting category.
  • China Cabinets were moved to the Cabinets sorting category.
  • Shelfs were moved to the Displays sorting category.
  • Several Store items were properly categorized, for example: Stäncké wall clock is no longer in the Fences category.
  • Store Sculptures and Statues were moved to the new Sculptures sorting category.
  • Bars, Bubble Bars, and Professional Bars were removed from the Miscellaneous Surfaces sorting category.
  • Buffet Tables were removed from the Dining Tables sorting category.
  • Parking Spaces, Bike Racks and Garage Doors were moved to the Miscellaneous Vehicles sorting category.
  • Gobo Lights and Ducts that were cluttering the Miscellaneous Debug sorting category were moved to the Parties and Miscellaneous Décor sub-categories respectively.
Unlocks Hidden Stuff
  • Permanent tents and public picnic blanket can be found in the Miscellaneous Debug sub-category.
  • Aspiration and Career rewards such as the Collection Helper, The Fox, Teleporter, Firefighter's Coat, Firefighter of the Year Trophy and Moodlet Manager can be bought from the Debug category.
  • Special items (Thief's Coin, Mummy Snacks, Pemmican, Tear of Horus, etc.) sold by the Special Merchant can be bought from the Tomb Objects sorting category.
  • 14 Ambitions sculptures, 5 music boxes and one dining chair that were hidden can now be bought from the Buy Mode catalog (without the buydebug cheat).
  • Hidden stencils for several Store items (from the following sets: Storybook, Interior Castle, It's Game Time!, Championship Dreams, Animals Abound, Mischief Makers’ Bedrooms and the Commanding Shoji Screen) were unlocked. (Thanks to Clara from MATY).
  • The Parking Space for Food Trucks was unlocked. It can be found in the Miscellaneous Vehicles sorting category.
  • Shells, trash chutes, and wall mailboxes can be bought from the Miscellaneous Debug sub-category.
  • An electric guitar, director's chair, hot tub, tv, trailer and car that were hidden can now be bought from Buy Mode catalog (without the buydebug cheat).
