| My apologies if this has already been mentioned, or if it should be in the Wishlist category. SimPE currently categorizes the Object Workshop and Catalogue Functional Sort using Sims 2 categories rather than Castaway categories. I'm not sure if it would be practical for SimPE to execute a modal switch, but it would certainly be helpful to have the Castaway categories come up automatically, instead of doing translations in my head - although I am getting quite used to it. These are how the categories translate: *** Sims 2 *** *** Castaway *** Appliances Beds Aspiration Rewards Lighting Decorative Storage Electronics Surfaces General Nature Hobbies Mirrors Lighting Decorations Other No Change (Build Mode, Neighbourhood, etc.) Plumbing Cooking Seating Survival Surfaces Seating Unknown Career Rewards, Plumbing, Resources, Story Rewards, Some Decorations |

| Perhaps a switch that you culd toggle in SimPE settings (similar to the advanced switch in SImPE) might not be a bad idea, and it could then add those categories for people who want Castaway categories. I would hate to just see additional static categories added to the ones currently there due to the confusion that a newer sims2 user fresh to simPE (the most common new user) would probably drive us nuts with questions like "I looked under beds and the one I want is not there" or the number of bugs that would be generated and the number of times we would have to explain that beds only applies to stories categories and for sims2 you have to look under sims2 categories IE seating :). This is probably a great wish list item - not really sure its a bug. |

| Well even the Sims 2 objects seem scattered around in a rather random way so I had just got used to having to look in several various places for what I want. Whether it's a bug or not depends whether it's been accepted it's a basic role of SimPE to categorise Stories series objects tidily. Up till now I am not sure whether SimPE's spec is to fully support Stories or whether it was just a lucky happenstance that it more or less does. |

| I guess that we should be starting with that question - is it really in scope or since it can be worked in with minimal code and story owners lucked out :) |

| I have moved this to wishlist cos it's obviously not a bug as such. |
