THIS POST WAS FOR AN OLD VERSION. DOWNLOAD REMOVED.ALWAYS FIND THE LATEST VERSIONS OF MY MODS VIA https://TwistedMexi.comSmall fixes to add compatibility with the pronouns update that dropped yesterday.

2.5.2 UPDATE:

Added compatibility for the custom pronouns menu

Fixed the graphical issue that caused green dialog buttons.

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.

====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 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.

Is there other way to open tool because I can’t open it

Wendy Hubble

You are the best. Watching poor Dr. Gluon try to do a shell challenge without T.O.O.L. was a reminder of how much loved and needed this mod is! Have you considered making a version for House Flipper :)

Jacki

Hey I'm still learning how to use TOOL. How come when I rotate things. They disappear?

LadySeraphineCC

Well see that's that's thing. It does that to every object. I rotate even just 90 and it's gone.
