Better BuildBuy v2.0 RC4 - NoCC Organized Debug, Build Light Editor, and Better Kit Filters (Patreon)
Content
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. 🧡
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:
- Having Organized Debug on no longer causes your lot to be marked as CC.
- A Light Editor has been added to build mode, with a dropdown for light selection.
- 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 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.
