Better Categories

@Simsdeelicious - I am so glad you posted this. I fully support this suggestion. +Me Too

Good work on your YouTube video and Google Slideshow describing this essential need for better categorization in Build Buy Mode. The Sims 4 isn't going away and Build Buy is only going to grow, and grow, and grow with more DLC in our future.

I've tried to post this same idea in the past on several occasions, but my posts just kept getting marked as spam and wouldn't post. I assume it's maybe because of how in depth I went into my request for Subgroups, making for a long read. In my proposal, I chose to call this much needed organizational category Subgroups since we technically have subcategories.

An example of a Subgroup:
Decorations > Sculptures > Statues
(Category > Subcategory > Subgroup)

I haven't given up on this idea and have since invested time to update and refine my graphics and proposal.

The area of Build Buy panel I had planned to suggest for displaying Subgroup icons was the bar allotted in Styled Rooms, above the thumbnail preview panel. This space could easily fit up to 12 Subgroups, including All and Miscellaneous.

Being the organizational nerd that I am, I even went so far as to fully categorize my entire Buy catalog into proposed Subgroups. Below is an example of my Lighting objects divided into Subgroups.

Proposed example for Lighting:

Lighting > Ceiling > Subgroups:

I hope the Sims Development Team hear this request for Better Categories in Build Buy Mode, and I hope we may one day see better BB organization implemented in the near future.
