TOOL v2.6.7: Chestnut Ridge Update

REMOVED AS ITS OUT OF DATE. GET THE LATEST VERSION VIA TwistedMexi.com

2.6.7 UPDATE:

  • Updated for Chestnut Ridge World

2.6.6 UPDATE:

  • Updated for San Sequoia World

2.6.5 UPDATE:

  • Updated for Infants Patch.

2.6.4 UPDATE:

  • Fixed a bug that could cause the group selection box to not reappear after hiding it while the circle was not closed.

  • Fixed a bug that could compound an EA gallery bug and cause a LUIE.

2.6.3 UPDATE:

  • Fixed graphical issues with the 10-11-22 game patch.

  • Added compatibility for the new EA tutorial dialogs.

2.6 UPDATE:

  • TOOL now tells players when their script mods aren't turned on.

  • Added compatibility for the Moonwood Mill world that came with Werewolves.

2.5 UPDATES:

  • TOOL will now notify you in-game when an update is available. This should help reduce the amount of people clinging to year old versions of TOOL.

  • Due to a game bug introduced by EA several patches ago, off-lot objects were disappearing any time players loaded an apartment/dorm style lot. I've implemented a workaround for this.

  • Reduced the radius for closing the grouping box, as TOOL users are usually working in a smaller space than Create-A-World testers. This means you'll be able to click closer to the original point before it will snap close.

2.4 UPDATES:

  • The grouping box now supports any polygonal shape.

  • The grouping box visualizer follows terrain

  • The grouping box can now select multiple levels.

Want TOOL in build mode? Grab Better BuildBuy as well! 

TOOL v2.3 brings a new feature called Rotate Around Center. It's a toggle in the rotate dialog that lets you choose whether group rotation will rotate all objects around their own axis, or around the group's center.

This video demonstrates the difference.

Many players requested this, as it'll allow them to rotate TOOL-only builds after they've finished, instead of having to plan which rotation they want to begin with. I hope everyone enjoys.

  • Rotation Around Center added to Rotate Dialog

  • Added an improved rotation indicator. The circle is now a gradient.
    Dim = 0. Bright = 360.
    Positive rotation amounts will always move dim -> bright.

==================

❓❔❓ HOW TO USE ❓❔❓

TOOL Build Mode Quick-Start

  • Better BuildBuy must also be installed.

  • The usage is the same as regular TOOL, except you will automatically be placed in TOOL mode any time the TOOL dialog is open.

  • Toggle TOOL in build mode by pressing Shift+T

  • In addition, shift+clicking surfaces will automatically place a group box marker. This can be used in combination with the Toggle Group button to highlight many objects at once.

  • When the TOOL extension is open, ctrl+z and ctrl+y will handle the TOOL undo/redo instead of the buildbuy undo/redo.  Buildbuy undo still works when TOOL is closed.

  • If you're new to TOOL entirely, refer to my original tutorial.

TOOL Live Mode Quick-Start

  • No other mods are required.

  • Need to enter testingcheats true or you can optionally force it always on using my AlwaysTesting mod.

  • Shift+click objects for TOOL menu

  • Shift+click surfaces for TOOL options menus.

  • If you're new to TOOL entirely, refer to my original tutorial.

Oh thank goodness, you are amazing to have this out so quickly. As for BBB, I noticed that glitchiness last night, so will look forward to the update. Just don't feel obligated to rush, you need to take some "you" time as well ;)

Hello, I've noticed this seems broken since the newest patch and pack! Can't wait for it to be fixed, I use this TOOL religiously and decorating is not fun anymore without the freedom. Since the update and pack release, I noticed the issue where it causes white screen/crashes when opening the werewolf world again!

Uh... TwistedMexi? "Appaloosa Plains" was the TS3 Horse World. I haven't played it myself yet but everything I've seen says the TS4 Horse World is "Chestnut Ridge" .

TOOL is my favorite mod! My builds have improved because of it, and I'm so grateful that you created it, and better build buy! Do you know if today's update broke either of them, or if the horse pack will? The update made build mode look strange, so I've been checking to see which mods might be broken.

Is it possible to find an older version somewhere? I have the game version 1.90 and because of this (maybe) there are visual bugs. Or the new version of the mod should be compatible with the old version of the game?

Hi there, thanks for all of your work! I'm having a small issue even with the updated TOOL where if I click on something that's sorted by room in Build/Buy it shows the entire DEBUG and Liveedit menu rather than just the items in that category. Super sorry if this has already been answered! Thank you :)
