Menu Help

[tiremann 0]

I've been playing SC4  for some time now, and have begun to experiment with custom content, some from the official site, but mostly from Simtropolis. My problem, which I haven't seen anyone else having, is with the menus. Is there a way of deleting items from the menus, or moving them to another category, ie from landmarks to parks or vice-versa? Or even re-naming them. I have things in the parks catagory that call themselves open green space which are actually large buildings. I cannot for the life of me find these items in the lot editor to get their id number to delete them. I saw something among the files on the STEX by someone called rudeboy (which I can no longer seem to find) and the screenshot showed menus but there was no read me or any indication of how to use it, except a reference to a forum thread which I can't seem to access either. Any help would be most appreciated as my menus are getting uncontollabley large.

unfourtinatly you can't move things from menu to menu and you cant create new menus. i think there is a group of people trying to create a mod for new menus but for now no there is no way. the only way to get things out of a menu is by deleting it from your plugins folder, but that removes it from the game. everyones menues are uncontroably large, i wanted to get rid of some lots but i couldent find what was what (due to an unorganised plugins folder) so i reinstalled my game, and only downloaded what i really needed.

by the way; welcome to the Simtropolis forums

  It is doable, just takes a little know-how.  First, welcome to ST, feel free to PM me for help anytime!  OK, so, you cannot make new menus, that much is certain.  If you want to move something...you need to find the building/lot in your plugins folder, and to remove it, delete it.  To move it you have to open it in the plugin manager and basicly recreate it, and make a new lot, and remod it, so, unless it's worth it to you to do all that, you're out of luck.  To rename something, open it in the plugin manager and edit the name feild, (I forget what the actual wording is on it, but it is pretty easy to figure out, just mouse-over stuff till you find it.)  The rudeboy thing...I think it was a plugin sorter, and very handy from what I've heard, though I never actually downloaded it.  Try searching for "rudeboy" on the STEX, it should find it.  Hope this helps, Meister out.
