First of all, sorry if it's a wrong forum to ask question, and sorry in case my question was answered already a million times. Still i couldn't find an info i was looking for.

Long description:
What i would like to achieve is to have 4 vanilla tilesets completely redesigned and resorted, some consisting of only a narrow selection of custom growables while others may be maxis-custom mixed.
I found this, but it seems to be only cosmetic changes, and still doesn't fit to tilesets i would like to have.
I found info how to change tileset in one particular lot using ilive Reader, and how to re-write maxis buildings with custom settings by exporting them in plugins folder and tweaking their stats. But doing so one by one would be pain in ass.

Short question: it there is some tool, that can help in reorganizing tilesets?

Short answer: no.  ;D

Longer answer: the info you found seems like the correct way of doing it. And honestly it isn't that bad as the Reader allows you to 1) export lots en masse and 2) change the tilesets over multiple lots at once. So provided you're willing to invest some time sorting the lots and learning about tilesets & the Reader it's a rather achievable project.

And welcome to SC4D btw!  :)

Tnx for the reply :)
And for info about Reader, it's really not that hard then.
