This is the last update for TOOL, as I switch back to other projects. This will wrap up all of the recently added features including fixing a few bugs as well as adding a few tiny (but powerful) options.

  • MovableDialog UI Fixes: Previously we needed two versions of TOOL because when I made the dialog boxes non-modal (no black backdrop), it messed up all the other game dialogs as well. Now TOOL has its own separate UI system so the game dialogs are left alone. This will now be the only version of TOOL.
  • Configurable Dialog Positions: TOOL dialogs can now be moved to top, left, top left, right, or center depending on preference. Set this by shift-clicking the ground and selecting TOOL Settings. By default, the dialog is now at the top
  • Object Cloning: You can now alt+shift click on an object to clone the active objects in place, or alt+shift click any surface (not object) to clone them at the location you clicked. A short video above demonstrates this.
    side note: livedraggable objects might require you to wiggle your cursor before the alt+shift click will register on them again.
  • Changed default move grid colors: Colors are now green and orange, as I found the green and red too harsh. You can still set the colors as you'd like.
  • Bug with setting colors: Sometimes setting a color would set it for the wrong visualizer. This is now fixed.
  • Bug with undo: When moving elevated groups of objects, the undo would sometimes not bring them back to their original elevation. Now fixed.
  • Bug with move group on click: Depending on how objects were added to the group, sometimes the "center" of the group could be calculated wrong, causing the objects to be moved offset from where you clicked. Now fixed.
  • Chinese translations: Thanks to  @MuMuLinovo for adding Chinese translations for the mod.

 Thanks everyone!

Following the conversation on Twitter about the cloning of Sims, the scientist can clone Sims with a cloning station, this exists in the game Sims4 if that can guide you in your research;) Thanks for the clone of objects, it is great:)

Thanks, I was mostly trying for fun, I don't think there's an actual need for it in tool

YAS; Love you! XOXO (As much as a stranger can love another stranger 😊)

I had an issue where I wasn't able to do any form of activity that requires a pop-up menu. i.e. placing anything from the gallery.

I had to go back to the previous TOOL. I can't press the OK button showing Mods installed with this new version. I click OK and nothing happens.

I also have the issue with the pop-up menus, I wasn't even able to exit the game from main menu.

TwistedMexi

Thanks I'll check and hotfix if needed. I may have missed that particular dialog

Was having some issues with this specific version which is such a shame because the new features are so cool :( Running game version 1.64.84.1020 (all expansions and stuff) I start up the game and the dialogue for the installed mods and custom content pops up and I press the check mark, which causes the game to hang on not responding. Tested without this mod and the game functions like it normally would. Hope there will be a fix or a work around! I love your work!

I am having the same issue as well. I took all mods out but the tool mod and it worked just fine.

I seem to get UI LE's logs every time i try to use this mod?
