[BG] Build/Buy Catalog Improvements

PROBLEM
It takes too much time to find the item you are looking for in the catalog.
It isn't possible to search walls, floors, and other build items.
The list of packs, stuff, etc. has become too long, and it is expected to be longer over time.

DESIRED SOLUTIONS
a. Custom categories
Add a feature that allows users to create custom categories to group catalog items based on their preferences.
b. Packs filter
Change the way packs are selected from a list with checkboxes to a search bar with a drop-down menu that suggests pack names as the user types, and adds the selected packs in a tag format that allows them to be removed or deselected.
c. Number of items displayed by default
Add more rows to the catalog to display more items simultaneously. Maybe a button that allows you to expand it to see more rows of items.
d. Search for build items
Add the search feature for the build items, such as doors, windows, wallpapers, floors, etc.

    There are a few things I'd like to have or have edit existing 

    In the Objects Rooms Category

    • Dining Room
      • Instead of the Bar Icon, how about China Hutches 
    • Game Room
      • Bars & Bar Backs 
      • Barstools 
      • Counters 
      • Electronic Games 
      • Game Tables 
      • Stereos 
    • Kitchen 
      • Make a Dishwasher Icon and remove Dishwashers from the Kitchen Appliances Section
      • Pet Bowls should only show actual Pet Bowls. I'm not looking up the Pet Bowls to find a Chicken Coop or the Horse Ball
      • Separate the Stoves from the Stove Hoods. Make the Stove Hoods  their own Icon 
    • Laundry Room 
      • Clothing Hampers 
      • Dryers
      • Laundry Room Clutter 
      • Washing Machines 
    • Outdoors
      • Can you please remove the Pool Lap Guides and Pool Drains out of the Sculptures. We aren't going to look for it there so it doesn't make sense to be there.  Part of the reason it's hard to find something is because they are not intuitively categorized. These things should only be in Water Features > Pool Objects.  
      • Please take out of Water Feature > Pool Objects the Little Light. This is a small table light from Dining Out. Please make it make sense 

     

    In the Objects By Function Section 

    • Can Drapes & Blinds just be that and move the Awnings to their own Icon 
    • In the Off the Grid section. The Yum Cooker & the Yum Cooker Used are both Electric Appliances, old styles certainly but most plainly ELECTRIC. 
    • Under Kids Decorations can you please remove the all of the Drapes. They should be in Decorations > Window Coverings and Objects by Room Icons under Kids > Window Coverings. 
    • Under Kids Furniture the Not Binary Clock should not be in there it isn't furniture 
    • Under Surfaces > Accent Tables - If I had my way there would be a Nightstand Icon and an End Table Icon and all the sofa tables and decorative consoles would be the only things under Accent Tables
    • Under Plumbing > Tubs. Why not have a Hot Tub Icon and put all the Hot Tubs and Hot Springs under that. 
    • Under Lighting - Why not have all the Holiday and Event string lights and Lanterns under a Holiday Lighting
