    What are the chances in the STEX that we have also sub directories for buildings like:

    Real Life Industrial

    Real life Commercial

    Real Life Residential

    ??????????

    I know not everyone likes to play with Real life buildings in their game however this makes it easy to find things if you are, what we would call "Keepin' it reall."

    Also,  I am pretty sorry at making buildings......does anyone think they could make me the Superdome or Texas Stadium for my game?  That'd be neat.

    Well, the problem is that you can't draw a line between "real-world" on one side and "fictional" on the other. Many, many of the Maxis buildings are based on real-life buildings. The same goes for custom buildings; many are really recreations of real-life buildings. The problem is that there is not just 100% recreation or purely fictional, there's also "clearly based on building xyz, yet different". That happens quite often, actually.

    Besides, taking into account how many files are filed under the wrong category already (make STEX show you "blank lots", and you see everything but blank lots), I guess that even more sorting would cause only more confusion.

    Just take your time to browse the STEX, category by category... take notes on which page you were the last time, add interesting buildings to your tracking list... that's more or less the way we all did it, I guess.

    As for the last question, I'll leave the answer to DuskTrooper - nobody does it quite like him.
