I'm going to start doing these on occasion, it's a new series where you get to see TOOL in use, for practical things like placing decorative gutters. No jump cuts, no sped up clicks. If I make a mistake, you'll see how I correct it.
I'm hoping having these bite-size examples should help pl...
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.
If you had a choice, which way would you prefer the TOOL dialogs (move, rotate, scale, elevate) to be displayed? Leave it in the exact middle like it is, or move it to the far right?
Keep in mind all TOOL dialogs will now be non-modal (meaning you can still use your camera while it's up)

TOOL has been updated with three new features.
I've created a video tutorial for all of TOOL's features to hopefully help lower the barrier to entry.
The next TOOL update will bring refinements to the new Group function, and precision scaling options, but the thing I'm most excited about is what I call the "Gravity Pull" feature.
This will let you click the ground while pressing Alt, which will pull the object toward wherever you clicke...
So this mod was actually just for some troubleshooting I was doing, but when I shared the video to twitter some people said they wanted it as a mod. It's already made so I guess why not? 🤷♂️
It replaces all loading screens with the semi-transparent screen, so you can see exactly ...
T.O.O.L. (Takes Objects Off Lot) has been updated with multiple features and improvements.
First off, thanks as always for the support. I wouldn't have had the tools necessary to create such a mod as this if not for such a large supportive community.
This is an early access alpha version of my Eco mod. It may have issues. As such, please consider back...

Hi everyone! Please join me for the premiere of my eco mod reveal at 12:30PM EST today 🙂 As always, I appreciate all of you for the continuous and overwhelming support, I wouldn't have been able to pull this off without it.

Sample of some new trash functionality I'm working on. If you see green dots in the video, that's just some artifacts from the export to GIF.
2020-06-16 20:06:48 +0000 UTC View PostI'm creating an overhaul mod for some general gameplay aspects of Eco Lifestyle that I don't agree with.
There's a few ways to accomplish what I'm aiming for, with their own pros and cons. If I can help it, I'll try to pick the method you guys vote on here.
Clean UI has been updated for the new Eco Lifestyle Pack. Icons and Animatic have been added.
If an old animatic is showing, you may need to flip through until you find it, the game will save it the next time you launch.
Replace the existing package with the one below. 🙂
I've updated the mods for the new World formats. The zips below contain a package for each world. Whichever worlds you'd like constant day or night on, add the world package from the respective zip.
Enjoy 🙂
Eco Lifestyle cheats are now available on TwistedMexi.com
Thanks to all my patrons 😊
We're getting there, just thought I'd share this interesting glitch from earlier this morning.

Yesterday I updated Clean UI. Sorry for the frequent update, but someone asked if I could add the new animatics. While doing so, I was able to also fix the issue some had where the screen would default to black unless you set "animaticpack" to 1000 in Options.
Now you no longer need to wor...
As of the last update, Clean UI was causing some UI Exceptions due to a discontinued method for getting web content.
This update skips that method, preventing the UI Exceptions :)
This version also brings icons up to date so all packs have a proper icon.
Enjoy!
Multiple quality of life and pa...

Clean UI is now updated to fix the dialog display issues as well as provide a proper icon for Realm of Magic. An update for the university icon will be coming later this week.
Thanks everyone :)
Reminder that if you end up with a black menu, you need to edit the ani...
All,
TOOL has been updated for 11/15/19. Functionality remains the same, just shift-click the objects to bring up the TOOL menu options.
Please note that the download options have changed. TOOL v1.1 brought you the option of being able to move the cursor around while a TOOL dialog w...
All,
For the past week I've been working on the announcement trailer for Project Raven. With the recent patch, I've had to step back from that for a moment and focus on updating my export tools (used for Project Raven development) due to some unusual changes to the TS4 source files.
This is a small side-project for Project Raven. Brazen Lotus was so kind as to create an object for it, and I've added a few "touches" to how it behaves. You'll definitely be able to find a seat. 👌
Hi all, first of all - thank you all so much for the continued support! Words can't express how much I appreciate it, but hopefully these will do. I've been able to dedicate more time to my mods which make things like Project Raven possible. There is no way I would have been able to bring this to...

The zips have been updated to include Glimmerbrook and Realm of Magic.
If you're unfamiliar, Underworlds and Daybreak make the selected worlds constantly night or constantly day, respectively.
Instructions
Open the zip and copy the packages for the worlds you'...

I've added a small update to TOOL that allows you to move the camera around while the move/rotate dialogs are open. It also removes the darkened background so you can see the grid and axis better.
The group move and other functionality will come in the next update.
Hope you guys lik...
This week I'm tackling Visual Effect requirements! Steadily approaching alpha status, thanks everyone for the continued support :)
P.S. I'll be pushing updates for a few of my existing mods this week, and TOOL will be getting a small update that will make usability a bit easier.
I extracted a new list of visual effect names to include all the recent pack content, you can use these with Andrew's Studio Effect Player to play custom effects in your world.

Updated Clean UI for the 9/5/19 patch. This fixes multiple incorrect icons in live and buildbuy mode, and lowers the risk of future incompatibilities.
Download the package directly to your mods folder. Enjoy :)
