Categorizing problem

(1/2) > >>

Kitte:
I've used Sims 2 Categorizer (Sim Wardrobe) for a long time without problems.  Recently some items don't appear in the new category in Buy Mode despite having changes saved in Sims2Cat.  The item that I notice most is echo-3x4-floorrug because I use the recolors so often.  It stays in Decorative/Miscellaneous regardless of the changes I make with Sims2Cat.

 I rarely use SimPE and don't really understand the mechanics of item creation/modification, but I opened the rug package with SimPE and it appears to have the correct subcategory (Decorative/Rugs).

I deleted cache files and reinstalled Kitchen Stuffpack because I thought there might be a corrupt file.  That didn't help.

I'd appreciate some advice on the problem - I looked on the Sim Wardrobe support forum but it doesn't appear to be very active.

Lord Darcy:
I'd suggest that you redownload Echo's rug and change it with SimPE, not Sims2Cat. As you already know how to check subcategory in SimPE, you'll know how to change it in SimPE as well. It's really easy, the rug is already categorized under Decorative, you only have to change subcategory. Select Decorative / Rug in the pulldown box. Press Commit button in the left. Save (ctrl-S).

Kitte:
Thanks, I gave it a try and replaced the modified Echo's rug with a fresh download.  I opened it in SimPE, selected Decorative/Rugs, hit commit, hit save.  In game it's still in the Decorative/Miscellaneous category.  I went back in to SimPE after I exited the game to make sure the changes were actually saved and they appear to have been - it still says Decorative/Rugs.

Lord Darcy:
Are you sure you don't have a duplicate file for the rug mesh somewhere? If the duplicate mesh loads after the edited one, the duplicate will override the edited one.

Kitte:
When I run clean installer it doesn't show duplicates, but it's possible.  I have a lot of CC.  In fact, there is another 3x4 rug object that I can't modify either.  I'll remove my Rugs folder from Downloads and only use the Echo rug and see if it works that way.
