TOOL v2.3.5 - Spa Day Refresh Update 9/7/21
Added 2021-07-01 21:08:30 +0000 UTC2.3.5 UPDATES:
- Fixed issues with new picker menus causing screen to gray out.
====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
⚠ FOLLOW IT WORD FOR WORD. ⚠
1. Delete any existing copies you have for TOOL.
2. Open the "TwistedMexi's TOOL v2.3.4 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.
Comments
This happens if the game isn't up to date.

2023-01-07 08:26:24 +0000 UTCTool and Better Build Buy absolutely DEMOLISHED my build mode. Buttons everywhere, overlapping each other, not where they should be, etc... I'm sad, bc I really wanted to try it out. :(

2021-10-15 04:03:13 +0000 UTCIt was already updated. Make sure you didn't install clean ui. They conflict.

2021-09-21 11:57:15 +0000 UTCTool is disabling any dialog boxes -- change outfits, aspirations, etc -- any option that requires a pop-up it just doesn't appear. Removed from game until updates are made for Spa day. Thanks!

2021-09-19 04:43:53 +0000 UTCPlease review the video at the top of the post. You need Better BuildBuy as well in order to use that.

2021-09-18 15:23:43 +0000 UTChey, the shift + T it's not working:) I only have this mod installed in my folder and I already have an update for spa day, any advice?? please:)))
2021-09-18 14:56:08 +0000 UTCIs better buildbuy not tool. The update for bbb isn't ready yet
TwistedMexi
2021-09-09 22:07:41 +0000 UTCHi--I love Tool mod and appreciate how fast you are to update it. Sadly for me, after replaced the mod with the Spa Day update this morning my build mode is borked. I've tried removing, turning off, etc., it's definitely something in Tool. My build screen has a play button instead of manage world, is missing almost everything else, and no buttons remaining, like options and gallery, are functional, and all I can do is a force quit. I'm on a Mac. Help?

2021-09-09 16:18:11 +0000 UTCThanks for the update! I knew my picker menus were goofy but so glad I don’t have to sift through a ton of cc’s to find the culprit! 🤣 many thank you’s! ❤️

2021-09-08 11:35:15 +0000 UTCWhen will the update be? Today the game has been updated and the mod does not work (((
ridji1992
2021-09-08 11:07:00 +0000 UTCSomething isn't installed correctly then. Perhaps script mods aren't enabled, it's a separate setting. Otherwise, come to my discord and we can figure it out. Link on TwistedMexi.com

2021-08-23 00:26:37 +0000 UTCi have both better build buy as well tool, but it does not work in build mode. pressing shift + t nothing happens. the tool simply does not appear.. not in build mode... and it also does not work in live mode.. it does not work at all
aaliyah johnson
2021-08-23 00:19:34 +0000 UTCNeed both tool and better buildbuy for the build mode integration. Tool by itself only works in live mode by shift clicking objects
TwistedMexi
2021-08-15 04:37:22 +0000 UTCpressing shift + T nothing happens. Any advice? I only have this mods installed

2021-08-07 21:04:15 +0000 UTCHola, este mod ya funciona con la nueva expansión? :D
Erich Yosueé
2021-08-07 19:29:35 +0000 UTCsome lots are crooked. I don't recommend using the move grid unless you absolutely have to. There's easier ways to move with TOOL.
TwistedMexi
2021-08-04 01:56:22 +0000 UTCI love this mod! Was asking if there was a way to 'toggle active object here' but alls you need to do is click! its even easier than before! x
Sentate
2021-08-01 22:22:43 +0000 UTCHello there everyone! Someone else is having issues with the move X/Y option? My guide lines don't show straight up anymore, but angled, which was not happening before :(
2021-08-01 21:08:04 +0000 UTCTOOL only has visual issues at the moment. BBB is compatible other than the center on lot button needing fixed. If you're having other issues, please stop in my discord so the team can help you out. Discord link is on https://TwistedMexi.com
TwistedMexi
2021-07-28 19:16:53 +0000 UTCHello, you know I had to uninstall your Mod, it caused me problems in Build mode, when you are going to update it, thank you, I love your Mods, they are indispensable, almost.
2021-07-28 17:15:39 +0000 UTCIt's a known issue, visual only. I hope to have an update out later today.
TwistedMexi
2021-07-28 16:14:47 +0000 UTCThanks for this verry cool mod. But I have some difficultys right now. The mod causes UI glitches, if you look at the boards in H-o-B. Pictures of locals don't show up, per example. I've the current version (v2.3.3) and tested it, by only having T.O.O.L in my mods folder, and also deleted the localthumpcash.package. The Failure occures anyway. Another point: If someone is calling, the UI glitches as well (it dose not show up in "the right shape"). But I don't know if this is also caused by T.O.O.L. Haven't the chance to test this yet.

2021-07-28 14:38:15 +0000 UTCHola, esta es la actualización para que funcione bien Henford World? Es que no me deja entrar al mundo...
Erich Yosueé
2021-07-27 08:45:38 +0000 UTCYou need to update the mod. I updated it two days ago to support the new world.
TwistedMexi
2021-07-23 13:10:05 +0000 UTCThe Mod is blocking the entrance to the Henford World ... idk why. But if I'm removing it, everything works.

2021-07-23 09:09:45 +0000 UTCYou need Better buildbuy for that.

2021-07-22 21:49:10 +0000 UTCShift t isn't working for me despite updating this anyone else having this issue
2021-07-22 21:45:14 +0000 UTCThank you very much for updating so fast.

2021-07-22 12:57:25 +0000 UTCCan I use this like the buildcam? I photos to show my CC and I don't want ugly angles.
2021-07-20 08:27:07 +0000 UTCYou need Better buildbuy too for that.
TwistedMexi
2021-07-18 03:21:14 +0000 UTCIt doesn’t pop up when I click Shift + T
rae
2021-07-18 01:14:16 +0000 UTCNo, sorry. That's outside the scope of TOOL. You can delete some existing items temporarily but they'll be back when you reload the zone. Stay tuned for my other projects.
TwistedMexi
2021-07-15 18:01:13 +0000 UTCI love this mod! I was wondering, is there any way to delete in-world interactive objects (IE vendor stalls or public toilets) with tool and don't have them show up again when you reload the save? I'm a fantasy player and the modern world clutter bugs me to no end
