Update note

* Recategorize buildings from Iconic Brutalism and Modern History.
* Experimental: Add support for custom parking lot assets that somehow categorize itself under Public Transport group.
* Reorder buildings in Water and Sewage by function.

Overview

This mod rearranges the toolbar with the goals to: 1) remove Content Creator Pack tabs and move the items into relevant tabs; and 2) reorganize buildings into a more appropriate tab.

This is a minor update to the original mod Streamlined Toolbar by Delta 5-1, and until the original creator updates their mod, this mod is deemed temporary.

Purpose

To quote what the original mod does:

  • Removes all Content Creator Pack tabs, their contents moved to the most relevant tab. This means:
    • No more lone-item tabs (looking at you, wave power plant).
    • You can now access all your transportation hubs in a single tab, instead of two. All your police buildings in a single tab, instead of two. All your [insert whatever other item was added in a CCP] in a single tab, instead of two.
  • Revamps the Parks and Plazas group.
    • Parks, plazas and other objects are now correctly assigned to the category which best represents what they actually are. Parks (those with trees) are under Parks, plazas (large paved spaces) are under Plazas, sports facilities are under Sports Grounds (new tab), piers etc. under Water Structures (new tab) and anything else is under Tourism & Leisure.
    • Car parks are moved to Roads > Road maintenance.
    • Parks, plazas and sports grounds are sorted within their respective tabs by area, from smallest to largest.
    • Moved all props that were sprinkled across several tabs into the single Props tab.
  • Revamps the Unique buildings group.
    • Disposes of all of the "by unlock tier" tabs, and some of the less meaningful DLC tabs.
    • The Landmarks tab now contains genuine landmarks (think Eiffel Tower, rather than a cinema), and other historic-looking buildings.
    • All other unique buildings are grouped by what they are as either: Tourism & Leisure, Sports Grounds, Hotels, Retail Buildings, Office and High-Rise Buildings, Parks, Plazas (yes, you can now find all your unique plazas in one place!) and Waterside Structures.
  • All buildings in the Healthcare, Police Department, Fire Department and Education tabs are now sorted by their type (e.g. all elementary schools > all high schools > all universities > all libraries).
  • Revamps the Trees tab.
    • All trees now listed in a single tab. Removes the Content Creator Pack Trees tab.
    • All trees are sorted by height, from shortest to tallest.
    • Hidden vanilla trees (e.g. apple trees) are also listed.
  • Moves rock assets from the Parks and Plazas > Props tab to Landscaping > Rocks, where all the other rocks are.

What’s new

This is an updated version of the original mod that has added / changed some behaviors:

  • Add all unique buildings from Africa in Miniature, Railroads of Japan, Mountain Village, Countryside, Shops of Shibuya, Iconic Brutalism, and Modern History. They were missing in the original mod though these buildings could still be found using Find It.
  • Add all props from Africa in Miniature, Mountain Village, Countryside and Modern History. They were missing in the original mod, though these props could still be found using Find It.
  • Recategorize all parks from Africa in Miniature, Railroads of Japan, Mountain Village, Countryside, Shops of Shibuya, Iconic Brutalism, and Modern History into proper tabs. In the original mod, they were all dumped under Tourism & Leisure tab by default. The park from Africa in Miniature was missing.
  • Recategorize new parks that were added in the 10th anniversary: 10th Anniversary Park, Industry Park, and Transport Park.
  • Recategorize roads from Bridges and Piers in the case that you don’t use Better Road Toolbar mod.
  • Recategorize highway intersections from Map Pack 3 and Map Pack 4 into Roads > Intersections tab.
  • Recategorize Central Library from Modern History from Unique Building into Education because it’s a proper library, not a unique building.
  • Reorder buildings in Water and Sewage by function.
  • Experimental: Add support for recategorization for custom parking lots that are categorized under Public Transport group instead of the usual Parks and Plaza group. (Need feedback for players who use these assets and I do not encourage asset creators to haphazardly categorize their assets)

Compatibility

Like the original mod, this mod is compatible with most other toolbar mods except the original.

To-do
  • Plan to implement order by building category > building cost for certain tabs e.g. Water and Sewage and Unique Buildings
