Better Exceptions v2.0 RC4 - The Final RC
If you're not familiar with Better Exceptions, it's a mod that gives you a fully formatted report and in many cases, it can tell you specifically which package or script is causing the exception.
I've released an updated video showing how Better Exceptions works as it is today.
There's not a lot of...

TOOL will be getting an update soon that will improve the grouping box.
Now the box will be a full square, with corner markers that go to the ground. To make control easier, the corner that will be moved next is marked in orange. You can see this in the video above.
Oh, and as you can see, we're in build mode. 🙃

Alright, yet another Release Candidate for Better Exceptions.
This should settle all stability issues, including one where a report could fail to generate depending on how quickly the game loaded.

TOOL 2.0.4 - Paranormal Stuff Update
Yesterday's patch didn't break TOOL functionally, but it did visually screw up some menus.
Here's an update to fix that. 👌
It also corrects a (harmless) LastUIException that could manifest under certain conditions.
Please delete your old TOOL mod if you haven't already, and follow the install instructions below for v2.0.4. Thanks!

2021-01-22 21:47:09 +0000 UTC View PostSmall Status Update
First off, I apologize for the delay in updates. Due to some personal matters, I didn't have access to TS4 for a brief time. Secondly, there is a release candidate 3 coming for BE very soon. In addition to some fixes, I've added a feature that will detect when an exception is just an animation error (usually ignorable), and it will give you a notification instead of a pop-up. You can then opt t...

All,
There is but one bug remaining with the Better Exceptions Release Candidate, which I would really love to squash before public release.
If you're using the RC2 of Better Exceptions and have failed to get a BE report with an exception, and/or your LastException.txt contains the following:
[BetterExceptions] mismatched tag

Better Exceptions 2.0 Release Candidate
Download removed because this RC is now out of date.
For those that aren't aware, BE is a mod that drastically improves Exception files by providing additional info and in many cases, telling you exactly which package or script file is causing the issue.
BE has received significant updates in this version so we're stepping up to v2.0.
New Features include:...
Better Exceptions v1.09 - BETA
Download removed because this RC is now out of date.
Better Exceptions is reaching another landmark in it's evolution, with a much higher package detection rate than previously.
This is the sort of thing that requires a large sample of data from users, so even though I'm still changing/adding features to v1.09, I am offering an early copy for patrons t...

TOOL v2.0.2 - Journey to Batuu Update
This is a preemptive update to TOOL for the upcoming Star Wars world, Batuu.

All,
This has been a very nerve-racking night. A storm knocked my trash can over and two of my 3 dogs got into a trash bag tonight and are suffering mold toxicity. I've just finished a very panicked trip to the emergency vet, where they're being treated for it and kept overnight. I just wanted to provide a quick update that it may be a few days before I'm able to finish my mod updates, a...

Just a quick video to help explain how Better BuildBuy works 🙂
Btw, found out last night that Better Exceptions is possibly broken on the latest patch. Expect an update for that soon. After that, I'll be focusing mainly on getting the next update for eco overhaul out.
Thanks everyone!

This is the first release candidate for Better BuildBuy. Many of you might know it as Organized Debug from my teasers, but because the scope of the project has changed, Better BuildBuy is a more fitting title.

BuildBuy Group Move - Proof of Concept
This is only a proof of concept, actual mod implementation will take longer and some additional decision making on my part.
Just wanted to share with you guys that it's now possible.
Better BuildBuy Filters!
Want to hide that CC? No problem. Want debug on? No cheats required. Just a click of a button.
Thanks to my patrons for the CC toggle suggestion on the last poll. This will be coming as part of the Organized Debug.

This is a special version of the Expandable Catalog. It includes a new workaround that will hopefully be obsolete soon, when EA fixes the actual issue. These are combined mods because they depend on the same files. If you were us...
Expandable BuildBuy Catalog - Public Release
This is actually small piece of Project Raven. People saw it in my TOOL tutorial and it seemed to be in demand so I've decided to release early as a standalone mod. 🙂
Quick Start:
To use, simply hit the Tilde (~) key to toggle expansion.
If you don't have a tilde key or it's not working, you can use the 1 key instead (not the keypad).

Organized Debug - Decision Poll
If you had a choice, would you prefer:
1. The CC items to always display and the filter would restrict it to CC only, as it does by default
OR
2. CC not shown at all unless the CC option is checked, so you could toggle between CC vs Maxis content.
