Added 2021-11-03 20:36:18 +0000 UTC2.3.7 UPDATES:
- Updated for compatibility with the new Sims Delivery Express system.
- Fixed llama icon on certain gameplay dialogs. (for real this time)
====Original Post====
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.
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
β FOLLOW IT WORD FOR WORD. β
1. Delete any existing copies you have for TOOL.
2. Open the "TwistedMexi's TOOL v2.3.6 Official" zip and drag the "Tmex-TOOL" folder inside to your mods root.
3. That's it! Don't restructure or move the files in any way.

2022-01-30 21:01:06 +0000 UTCCAW has those mods built in, installing the separate ones will break everything.

2022-01-25 20:28:39 +0000 UTCHi! I've managed to get CAW working but when I add BetterBuildBuy and T.O.O.L to my mods, I can't seem to move a household into a world. It's just a white blank screen other than the family in the bottom left corner, the "Select a world to move into" and some widgets at the top corners. Any ideas?

2021-12-27 13:10:28 +0000 UTCSadly I have the same issues! Copied the mod to the mod folder in the Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods folder. When I start the game, it display the panel confirming the mod is installed, but no matter what I try the button shown in the video doesn't appear. Tried to remove any other mods, but no avail. Thank you for your help!

2021-12-27 13:02:08 +0000 UTCHi, I don't know why but that TOOL doesn't even show in my game, I did exact what was in description only folder in mods folder, no subs, is maybe something wrong with my game? cause I have some suspicions about my game, don't have even Bin on my computer in sims4 folders, or anywhere else on my computer. Any idea how to fix that? Please help me. You can msg me on maggies-cottage-corner.tumblr.com. Thank you

2021-12-26 23:01:10 +0000 UTCHi! TOOL does not seem to work in the mode build - the rotate dialogue is not appearing when you press shift + T; in the "mods" folder I have the most recent version of TOOL and BuildMode FreeCam. Only these two - I do not use any other mods. Could you help me fix it?

2021-12-26 06:13:59 +0000 UTCis there a way to delete your 'DRAG THE TMex...' file? I'm trying to delete my entire sims folder so I can reinstall it and that's the one thing that will never delete cus of the permissions π

2021-12-05 22:14:47 +0000 UTCYes, TOOL stands for Takes Objects Off Lot.
TwistedMexi
2021-11-16 13:34:40 +0000 UTCBetter BuildBuy has all of my build mode enhancements, but TOOL is still separate. You have to install both if you want to use them together, as not everyone wants TOOL or vice versa, BBB.
TwistedMexi
2021-11-16 13:34:00 +0000 UTCDoes tool allow you to place objects outside the lot boundaries?
Kristyn Kelly
2021-11-16 10:45:01 +0000 UTCDoes build buy mode encompass all of it? Tool is with it?
LadySeraphineCC
2021-11-16 09:02:41 +0000 UTCUsually means you have an older copy of TOOL somewhere that doesn't have all the strings necessary for TOOL's menu options.

2021-11-09 18:58:57 +0000 UTCAre there any mods that interfere with TOOL? When I open the menu there multiple blank bubbles
rae
2021-11-09 04:57:11 +0000 UTCYes, if possible, it will be coming to TOOL eventually.
TwistedMexi
2021-11-08 14:07:18 +0000 UTCWatching the new video in regards to CAW, are there any plans/is it possible to integrate some of the controls (keyboard shortcuts) into TOOL?
