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).

Install Instructions:Save the .package below  to your mods folder.Make sure mods are on in your gameplay options.Thanks to all of my patrons, both existing and new, the support has been incredible and I can't say enough how much truly I appreciate it!

Hey Twisted Mexi, this mod is incredible, but I think you forgot a small important detail. The shape of the keyboards, as well as the layout of the keys, can change from country to country, which means that the "~" Tilde key will not always be responsible for carrying out the action of expanding the catalog. Example: I use the Brazilian keyboard, and the tilde key is in the middle of the keyboard, next to the enter key. And my tilde key was not expanding the catalog. That's when I realized that the tilde key on an American keyboard is on the upper left of the keyboard. This key on my keyboard is represented by the commands: "and ', and and made the catalog expansion work. I think that this differentiation in relation to the keys, which can vary even more depending on the nationality of the keyboard, can end up resulting in a lot of confusion about how this mod works. I think it would be important if you changed the command to a universal key, which never changes regardless of the keyboard. Or use the combination of two keys to activate the mod, such as shift + some specific key. I think this is important feedback. =)

Thank you, I'll probably leave it as is for ergonomic reasons, but I'll make a note that it may be different. In code it's only labeled as Tilde so I didn't realize.

Thank you TMexi for this fabulous mod, in Europe, AZERTY, it would be the é2 key ~ the third on the left on the same line below F1, again thanks, I place it and I test the key;)

2026-09-05 06:00 I'd been planning on becoming a patreon soon and this was what finally made me jump in. Even without your coming organized debug, this makes going through debug so much better!

Thanks, yeah actually working on organized debug is what made me go back and polish this mod up. The catalog feels so claustrophobic with only 2 rows.

Thank you sooo much! I've been wanting this since the SIms 3!

This is a game changer. Couldn't wait, had to be a Patron. Thank you!

Shandra Beaver

Thank you so much, been wanting this forever!!

Given it a go, it doesn't seem to work for a UK keyboard. Changed to US keyboard in my Windows settings and it works then. Just a heads up in case you get other comments from UK users

TwistedMexi

It does work for UK, but the key may vary. I believe for a UK english keyboard it's wherever your "~" is located.

Hi, it doesn't seem to work on a french keyboard either. I'm on PC, and i tried the key just above TAB, since there is no tilde key (to get a tilde you must press Alt Gr + 2, i tried that too and it doesn't work, sadly)

Diamond

Thank you so much for this. I really appreciate it!

Beauteesims

Very much needed thankyou I was just thinking last week someone needed to create a mod for this

Sphere Arcana

This is so wonderful, Thanks for this!

Lisa K Baldwin

OH .. no words (and for me that is quite unusual)! TY so much!

RobertAtNyte

This is so handy, Thank you Twisted :-)

oliver

Your genius knows no bounds!!

Gizelle

I just wanna say I appreciate you mods so so much. Thank you for making this game shine!

Miri D

I was so excited for this and then I downloaded it and started to do some build/buy...and then OMG!! I am seeing items I didn't KNOW existed! WHY, I don't know, but thank you so much for making this!!!

Eric Esse

Thank you for this. This is something I've wanted for a long time.

BakieGaming

Great mod! Thank you very much! :)

thank you so much ♥

SpoonieShep

Thank you so much for this!

Johaymar Moczulski

This.IS.The.Best!!! Thank you soooo much! Now, if only we could have a way to automatically filter all the non-custom content by default in CAS and inventory....sigh...if only. :)

Hello, is your MTS terrain pack mod still supported? I need it to do the exteriors with the TOOL. Since the EA tool for modeling terrain, I no longer used it, on the exterior it would be effective following a case I had earlier. I loved this pack, thank you;)

Courtney Reid

Hello - does anyone know how to stop objects autocloning? Thanks

TwistedMexi
>>43962134

If it auto clones that's just how the object is designed. The mod doesn't change that setting

Marcos

When I use this one in my Mac it deactivates the Build Buy one, don't know if this is a Mac problem, probably.

Deshay

Hey Tmex, is this updated for the new patch? When I open Build/Buy mode from manage worlds I can’t interact with anything on the screen. This is one of my favorite mods thanks so much for creating!!

Not yet, you can use BBB in the meantime as it includes the expandable catalog. Otherwise should have the update out soon
