    Thanks so much for this! You're a total legend. I have a question for you re replacing apartment windows on diagonal blocks (starting 18:33). I've tried the method in the video before, but found that it's hard to ensure that a) the windows are evenly spaced when placing multiple windows on a wall and b) the windows are centred equally inside the wall so that no windowsill juts out more than another. Is there a hack to getting windows to line up evenly vis-a-vis each other and the wall itself? I spent like half an hour placing two windows before I gave up lol. Thanks for all you do to make this game spectacular!

    The grouping box multi-select feature was lifechanging. I play in an apartment in San Myshuno and had the bug where festival objects wouldn't disappear. I kinda just ignored it for nearly 3 full generations. What I didn't notice was that every time a new festival appeared it spawned new objects in exactly the same location. So what I thought were just like 15 floating plants, actually had what feels like hundreds of clones inside of them and each of them bore multiple fruits which were also all individually cloned and hidden inside each other. I spent 45 minutes deleting them one by one without any visible progress. Ultimately I learnt about this feature of TOOL and, after a 3 minute lagspike, managed to select and delete all objects at once. My simulation lag has completely disappeared. It used to take 5-10 seconds just to load up the pie menu when clicking something. Everything is smooth as a baby's bum now. I can't thank you enough for developing this mod.

    I know I asked questions in your first TOOL tips and tricks but just in case you missed it I thought I might ask again, I hope you don't mind.
    When you use the T.O.O.L mod for example Alt click, Shift Click, the click part does that mean your mouse right click?
    It might be a silly question but it is to understand what you are talking about for me. I have never used this mod before but i really like to understand.
    I just need to know how to use T.O.O.L to have objects diagonally, I could see the green circle around the object when used on the bed but what if i want the bed diagonal.
    I love also the idea of the mod always testing, I definitely want to find that one because it is frustrating to type it in all the time.
    How do you reset the sims if she/he is stuck?
    The other thing i was thinking with regards in changing the X color and Y color for example if someone was color blind, this is a fantastic idea.

    • @TwistedMexi
      @TwistedMexi  4 года назад +1

      No, I'll always say right click if it should be. Just "click" means left click.
