Update: 16 Oct, 2022 @ 9:49pm

This is a pretty massive update! Over 2000 items updated! Finished migration to independence from ItemTweaker, the categorization change parameters are now self-contained in this mod - additionally this has led to a pretty expansive overhaul and coverage of an enormous number of further vanilla and mod items to support broader categorization.

There will be follow-up heavy-duty updates to continue expanding this coverage, but for this initial opener I tried to hit as many of the most popular clothing & vehicle mods that I could to start with for their new categories.

I've also (attempted, at least) to account for translations of the categories for CN & ES -- I'm sure they could use some improvement, but hopefully that helps a bit -- and I'm happy to attempt to implement othes langauges as well.

Added coverage for
-APOCALYPSE MACHINES I
-Armored MH MkII
-Autotsar Mods Collection
-Brita's Armor Pack
-ClothesBox Redux
-Dislaik's Clothing Pack
-Doomsday MotorHome

-Tsar's Mods Collection
-Vilespring's M113A1 Armored Personnel Carrier [B41] (Now unstoppable! :D)
-Water Purification Tablets (build 41.53+)

I've also begun broadly expanding coverage for existing listed mods in lines with expanded category coverage. Speaking of which...

Armor is sort of a weird subject in PZ since technically all clothing has different protection values -- so for the argument of functional distinguishing, I'm basically looking for things that specifically offer Bullet protection and/or are protective gear that layers on top of other clothing. It's a bit fast and loose as an initial foray, so I'm open to feedback certainly.

Furnishings are an attempt to start to provide more than miscellaneous categorization for home furniture and decor.

Literature - Guide was added to distinguish Recipes from literature which taught the character new things such as traits or dance moves.
Literature - Training was added to cover things like skill magazines or the books from the For Science! mod which facilitate bonus experience gain for the player.

Mechanics are the other major expansion in this update for a wide variety of vehicle-wrangling for your organization needs!

Survival - Water was added to start trying to go back and cover things like the Chlorine Tablets from True Filter, used for water purifying.

Utility was added to start trying to cover things like carts, hand trucks, palette movers etc.

Let me know what you think!

Update: 14 Oct, 2022 @ 7:57am

More category expansion with added coverage and expanded coverage -- a fair number of mods have broadened the cross-category of tools that are also weapons and many mods started working with a makeshift Tool/Weapon category, so it felt like it was time to give it a 'proper' category treatment, as well as adding one for all the cross-purpose Cooking implements which also serve as tools -- especially since Sapph's Cooking is quite popular, and also gives new life to many of these makeshift weapon kitchen implements.

Added categories for
-Cooking / Weapon - Melee
-Tool / Weapon - Melee
-Tool / Weapon - Ranged

Expanded coverage for Sapph's Cooking with the addition of the new Cooking / Weapon category!
Expanded coverage for Tools of The Trade with the addition of the new Tool / Weapon categories!

Added coverage for
-CorpseStudy (fork / remake by ttr)
-For Science!
-Herbalist
-Scrap Weapons!
-Shark's Weapon Pack
-The Workshop

I've also begun upgrading my sorting files to convert the parameter editing to the PZ engine so that they aren't incumbent on ItemTweaker for better resiliency. Hurrah!

Update: 9 Oct, 2022 @ 11:18am

Added coverage for:
-Blahaj!
-Commonwealth Armor Pack
-Fallout Food Mod

-Video Games

Update: 7 Oct, 2022 @ 8:16pm

Tracked down and corrected an error with the Braven Bicycle BSS support, sorry about that -- and thanks for the report!

In the meantime, also added additional coverage for:

-Donazo's Fine Fisticuffs
-Historical Weapons And Armor
-Resident Medic
-Tools Of The Trade*
-Wells Construction

*I've tagged Cornbread for Food - Perishable and about half of the additions as Weapon - Melee, pending on a category solution for the mod's ToolWeapon category display for the rest!

Update: 7 Oct, 2022 @ 1:57pm

A long time troubleshooting and tweaking to resolve a subtle hitch preventing the Pomp item categories from applying correctly; I also revised and tightened up some of the checks and formatting, and have attempted to include support for Pitstop's trio of collectable figures.

Additionally, there's also an optional module for 'Consistency Tweaks' which is the beginning of an attempt to bring outliers among books into alignment for how they're named (e.g. Advanced Driving -> Driving Vol.3: Advanced.)

Update: 6 Oct, 2022 @ 12:47pm

This is another pretty sizable update which also features added coverage for a category that is surprisingly populated across many mods - plushies!

Added mod support:
-Authentic Z (limited module, just to tweak Plushies* category)
-IndifBroccoli
-Mexiox's - Dr. Simi Plushies
-Monmouth County
-More Plushies!
-Pokemon Plushes
-Pomp's Items
-Pomp's Items - Just the Food
-Pomp's Items - Just the Ponies
-Project Fumo - boid
-We are experiencing Dawn time!

*Added Better Sorting Category: Plushies
By default, Better Sorting tags Spiffos and the like just as Junk and other mods as Raccoon. Given the existence of the popular Authentic Z mod, as well as mods like More Plushies! and the like combined with backpack attachments specifically for Plushies, it felt pertinent to branch them out to their own sorting category for consistency / 'collectors' as an extension.

Added language support:
-ES / Spanish
This seemed sensible given support for the Dr. Simi Plushies, I also attempted to add translation entries for the new collectable and model categories I added. Please let me know if there are any issues with it though!

Update: 1 Oct, 2022 @ 11:04am

Corrected a mis-keyed modID for Basements which led to a loading skip -- took this opportunity to break out the mod patches into separated files which should prevent that as a problem in the future and help better organize individual patches. Apologies for any inconvenience, things should be working smoothly now.
