Some objects of this site have been categorized for all existing lots and you might not have all the EPs for the lots it was categorized for. We cannot post several versions of the same object due to space limitations, so you'll have to do some work! Uncategorizing an object is needed to avoid a game crash when you don't have the lot it was categorized for.

Caution: this is not valid for objects which will only work with a certain EP. This requires a certain hacking which will be explained later on since Maxis has apparently no objection in editing objects to work for another EP.

1. Download Simcategorizer (free program) latest version even if you don't have Makin' Magic since our objects are edited for Makin' Magic.

2. Open it and look for your object by clicking on "objects in folders" (upper left part) and scroll till you find the folder where you extracted your object (most of the time in "downloads")

3. Look for the object you want to uncategorize and click on it.

4. Press "edit object"

5. For each category of lots you don't have (Downtown/HD, Vacation, Community/Unleashed, Studio Town/Superstar Magic Town/Makin' Magic) click on "none" to uncategorize the object. The example below shows you the object now categorize only for downtown i.e. HD and doesn't show the latest version of simcat with MM lots.

6. Click on "save objects" and you are done.

If you want more details on how to use Simcategorizer look at Deb's tutorial on how to categorize an object.

Simenhancer Object Manager can be used all the same but not featured since far from being a free program, however if the site of Simcategorizer is down, it's a good alternative and just use the free 48h trial version.
