Please modders put your assets in the right category (by making sets)
UPDATE: THIS PROBLEM WAS SOLVED BY PATCH 1.0.6b

Heyho,

first of all... thanks to all of you for that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ number of assets :D <3
BUT... Could you guys please put them in the right category. The Buildings category has now 3700 assets. There are residential buildings, parks, offices, factories etc.! It's a ♥♥♥♥ing mess. We have soooo many categories and only very very little assets are listed correctly. A normal person don't want to go through 3700 assets if he/she is looking for... lets say.... a new oil power plant asset.

It would improve the whole workshop if you do that. So pleeeease consider this.

Have a great day.
-Roger

UPDATE: It seems that the tags don't work for single files. They work only for sets. So it's not the fault of the modder. In my Opinion that should be changed ASAP.

For now I think, that the modder should make collections for their assets. We will still have a massive "Building" category. But then we also have the assets sorted with the collections in the right category.

UPDATE2: I have added a little guide for the tagging with collection. Maybe it can help you:

The "clones" with slight differences are not the problem. They will still add some variety to your city. And thats totally fine. But nearly ALL the assets are in the same category. And if a modder doesn't name it properly, the searchfunction won't help you much.

We have tons of categories. Just use them. That will help us all. Your assets will be find much more easily and the players can find their wish-assets better.

Categories aren't working for individual files.

@DP: Oh yes you are right. I just tested it :c In my opinion it is a very dumb implementation of the tags and it should be changed.
But we should find a tradeoff. So that the assets are downloaded and can be find easily. Then both modder and player are happy :)

For now I think, that the modder should make collections for their assets. We will still have a massive "Building" category. But then we also have the assets sorted with the collections in the right category.

Nice that someone will do this :) Thanks man. Hope more asset-Creators will do that. We both, player and creator, will benefit from that. Your assets will be downloaded because they can be find and we players can find the assets we are looking for. <3
