TOOL v2.4.2 - Neighborhood Stories Patch Fix
Added 2022-01-28 16:45:59 +0000 UTC
2.4.2 UPDATES:
- Compatibility update for Neighborhood Stories (Story Progression)
2.4.1 UPDATES:
- Added support for new world.
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.
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.

TOOL Quick-Start
- 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.
Install Instructions
⚠ FOLLOW IT WORD FOR WORD. ⚠
1. Delete any existing copies you have for TOOL.
2. Open the "TwistedMexi's TOOL v2.4.2 Official" zip and drag the "Tmex-TOOL" folder inside to your mods root. That's it! Do NOT restructure or modify the files in any way.
3. Make sure 👉Script👈 Mods are enabled in gameplay options -> "Other". Restart if it wasn't.

Hi, I was just scaling an object and suddenly a vertical white line appeared. It stayed there even after undoing everything and recovering an old save. After i removed the Tool mod it disappeared. I just wanted to let you know.

No, some objects just can't be rotated on all 3 axes due to how EA designed them.

Thanks for updating so quickly. Of the many mods I use, only two are mandatory and this is one of them!

You can't install tool when using caw. Caw comes with its own version of tool built in. Wait for v0.08
