This is a general quality-of-life update for TOOL. The main feature is that apartment and dorm lots should now be fixed, so that objects taken off-lot should no longer disappear when you load these lots.
2.5.1 HOTFIX:
- A bug slipped pass the early access period, and 2.5 had an issue that could prevent loading apartment lots. This has been corrected and TOOL users should update immediately. Thanks!
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.

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.
