About This File

🎉 Update 16 Oct 2021: Version 2.2.2 released. Please redownload 🎉

 

I have mainly taken ownership of this project from @STEX Custodian, but nevertheless, @Tyberius06, @Cyclone Boom, @CorinaMarie, and @art128 have been fantastic help in this project, whether pointing out content I missed, or through their general feedback and support. Thanks!

 

For further information, including updates, please follow the thread.

 

What is this?

This is an expanded version of the original catalog on SC4 Devotion. I wanted to create a resource for creators that is a) much expanded - a lot has changed since the first catalog in 2011, and b) make it much easier to use. This means I settled on a HTML and JavaScript based catalog to allow for dynamic filtering and sorting of prop and texture packs.

 

Who is this for?

I hope this tool will prove invaluable for many content creators (and especially lotters) who are looking for more and better content to incorporate into their work. Looking for a motorcycle to add to your lot? Filter only prop packs that contain vehicles and/or motorcycles. Looking for seasonal trees? Look through all packs that contain seasonal trees until you can find the right ones for you? Want to use all HD? Scour all packs that contain High Definition props to find the ones you want.

 

How do I use this?

Thanks to the efforts of our fearless site admins, I'm able to provide the Catalog two different ways:

  1.     Offline Viewing + Download: Download the small text file available here containing instructions to download the file, or just travel directly to GitHub and download the source .zip directly (approx 110mb).
  2.     Online Viewing: Visit the dedicated page at Simtropolis to view and interact with online without needing to download. GO HERE.

I found a problem! / I have a suggestion!

Found a bug? Am I missing a prop or texture pack? Have an idea for additional sorting/filtering categories? Is there a better way to make the Catalog more interactive or useful? I would very much like to hear from you! Please feel free to drop a post below in the thread, or if you're familiar with GitHub, open an issue. I hope for this to be a project that sees quite a few improvements and updates over the coming months - I already have lots of ideas for improvements.

I think this is a very usefull addition not just for LOTters, lot makers, but regular users as well to get familiar with the contents what we have. This is a huge gift for the community for sure. The filtering is very useful as well. It already contains the catalogue of most of the main and general dependency packages and it contains several smaller, more unique texture and prop packs. Really cool stuff. Thank you very much, that you've overtaken the management of the catalogue, I have never thought about this dept of details, when I first started to compile the index images with the @STEX Custodian acount, and didn't think about an offline version of it either. This is a huge help for all of us!

Thank you very much!

Thanks for taking the time to compile this information - I know a lot of work would have gone into collating and organising this in a cohesive manner. These are such great reference tools: a must for any custom content creator. *:thumb:

Nice job. But the interface is certainly needs some polish. For instance, there should be a highlight color for selected subcategory much like the main category. Also, having a search bar is nice addition since there will be hundreds of mods and scrolling thru the page is a pain. In the future, the images used to show the families can be converted to a separate HTML-based page that can be interacted. When you click the prop/building/texture, it shows exactly the TGI, not just the Instance. Also, LEX type of interface (built using Bootstrap) is also nice. But if you aren't fond of Bootstrap, that's okay. Other frameworks or make it yourself is nice, too.
