Collection (Buy Mode)

:Not to be confused with relic collections from World Adventures, among other things.
A collection is an option in Buy Mode and Build Mode in The Sims 3, where players can create custom folders for objects. New and existing folders can be edited and created with ease.
To add an object to a collection, look for the Add to Collection button on the object selection pop-outs.
Changes made to any folders in the Collection section are saved instantly, and are saved separately from world save files. Buydebug objects that are placed in collections, become available for use on subsequent game bootups even without having to type testingcheatsenabled true and buydebug on.
However, while it allows placing objects specific to residential or public lots (e.g. stoves, flagpoles, the Das Kauker R86 guitar) and making them show up in Buy Mode on an unsupported lot type, the object will show up in the selector with a grey hue and the note "This object cannot be placed on this type of lot".
