Build/buy mode has too much stuff

I have almost all packs, and I love building houses.

When the game first came out I could easily build a nice home in 1-2 hours. Now it would take me almost the double time because all the stuff I have to sift through to find what I'm looking for. I need a better way to filter stuff or maybe hide stuff (permanenty hide, until I decide to unhide it) that I never use. I use the eyedropper tool a lot when I build and whenever I do the filter resets. I think the search fuction sucks, this could be because its not designed for other languages than english. I would like to make my own "collections" of the items I use regularly. Please fix this.

It has come to me not wanting to play anymore, I tried to just disable a lot of packs to fix the problem but then I get sad that I cant access the fun game play of those packs.

I hear you. I'm on a mac book pro, top of the line and spec'd out just for this and I was, since december of last year getting a strange- overly long delay- I mean more than usual, and like making it unbearable to build- When I love to and that's the entire point of the game.

Game testing this weekend, I found the rub. A long time ago I installed twisted mex better build buy and t.o.o.l. Turns out my laptop can not handle t.o.o.l. started overheating like a frying pan and off gassing. I removed both. Like a year ago someone asked em to do their shell challenge but there were pack restrictions, and I have most all of the packs. The told me to try the better build buy, and for the sake of it I tried the both back in the game again, and the same happened. I rushed to take them out, but I forgot the one thing, Twisted Mex said to do, for a clean uninstall. Unclick organize debug. I was in such a rush, I took it out without thinking.

Since them my build buy mode has been moving at a snails pace- I mean over exagerrately slow, in a way I just could not build really anymore.

So last night, I was testing everything and I put back ONLY Better Build Buy. And just like that, my build buy is zippy again. I mean as zippy as it was at the beginning when I first had the game and nearly no build buy custom content.
It's fantastic and I can totally see how builders live by it. For me, I don't think building is possible at this point without it.

And I found a sections that said "favorites" - it was empty, and I'm not sure but I think thats where you would personalize your favoritea. I was wow'd because I mean I always have my favorite pieces I use in everyones house, and I think a lot of people are like this. I mean even the essentials to find toilet paper, is not fun if you have a lot of cc like me.

@trashdocka I really recommend you tried Better Build Buy. I think it may help you build and find what you are looking for with ease.
