TWISTEDMEXIS T.O.O.L MOD

BECAUSE WE ALL NEED A GOOD T.O.O.L IN OUR LIVES.

Ever looked at a build in Sims and thought how in the Sam heck did the creator of this build get the painting rotated? Or how did they make a vehicle with stuff you wouldn’t have even thought about? The answer is simple. It’s T.O.O.L Mod!!

T.O.O.L Mod (Toggle Objects Off Lot) is created by a mod creator TwistedMexi. www.twistedmexi.com And let me tell you, it is a gamechanger. As a builder myself in Sims, I use it a lot. And it makes the things that weren’t possible, POSSIBLE!

For example. If your building a spooky house and want to make it look super spooky with boards in front of the window, you can’t really do that. But with T.O.O.L mod you absolutely can! You can manipulate a shelf to the right size and rotate it to fit it the way you want it and not how the game wants you to use it. Check out PugOwned’s Spooky build she did.

Also I mentioned the making of vehicles. A few T.O.O.Lers (as I like to call them) have let their creativity take flight with this mod. RGR_Gaming and TeaAreOhWhy, have made pool tables. I will repeat that; they made pool tables! They are unfortunately not functional pool tables (which we all want) but they look so good in game! These two amazing creators also made vehicles in the game. RGR_Gaming has made a Fire Truck. And TeaAreOhWhy has made snow mobiles, a Steam Locomotive Engine (and yes, you read that right) and a truck. Just to name a few!

T.O.O.L mod is every builder’s dream mod. If you don’t have it yet, as a builder, what are you doing with your life? Do you even Sims bro?

But look… It is not easy figuring out this shenanigans over T.O.O.L Mod. I mean we all struggle with things right? And I am one of those people who do not always read the instruction manual. Okay, wait, I always read the instruction manual, but with this mod I absolutely did not. And don’t be like me. Do your homework! Properly!

Thankfully TwistedMexi gave us a YouTube tutorial on how to properly use T.O.O.L Mod. As I said I did not go through the clear instructions. I basically winged it, because, Pugowned, who streams over on Twitch everyday showed us all how to use it. And yes, she also recommends you watch the video tutorial. So I guess your still wondering why is this mod so good?

WISTEDMEXI T.O.O.L MOD REVIEWED

BY ANNIE

I am also guessing you have heard of It from a streamer or a YouTuber using it and thought to yourself is it really that worth it to even have in your game? As I said before… you have to have this in your game. Its incredible. And if you love playing with Lego… well, let’s just say T.O.O.L mod is the equivalent of playing with Lego’s. And luckily no one will judge you for it.

To back my Lego theory up I’m going to take you on a tour of TeaAreOhWhy’s steam locomotive video; He firstly starts like any pro Lego builder would. He packs everything he needs neatly out so he knows what he is working with. I don’t know if you recognise the three barrel type things he is using for the train’s body. If you can not recognise it… it’s a trash can! I will repeat that for you if you think you read this wrong. It is a trash can! I checked it, twice and it is a trash can! B u t eventually later in the video, very far into the video, the part where he tries to make the roof of the locomotive. He puts a roof on it and then decides its not the aesthetic he’s going for. Oh no, he uses shelves and T.O.O.Ls it the way he wants. Its pretty insane. How he even thinks of these things is completely and utterly beyond me! And the great thing about it too is that it is items you can find in game. No Custom Content, no nothing. Your normal, everyday, run of the mill, if you will, items everyone has in their game.

In case you were wondering. It took him 3 hours to build this steam locomotive!

But T.O.O.L Mod does so much more than make great non-moving objects. Take for instance PugOwned’s Abandoned house she did for Halloween.

For one, it has great detail! And not a lot of builders go for detail. And in my opinion detail is everything if your looking for a great build. And the great thing about Pug is that she thinks outside the box. Outside the box? What box? She throws the box completely out of the window and stuns you with creativity on every build she does.

As you can see, Spooky was the name of the game, and she delivered! But we are faffing about the wrong thing here. Check the detail. Also see the use of T.O.O.L Mod here. If you wondered where those white panels came from in front of the windows, yeah, you guessed it… if you weren’t paying attention in class (shame on you), it is indeed shelves that have been used to make the panels in front of the windows! Using, and you guessed it right, T.O.O.L Mod!!

Even if you travel to the back of the house you can see T.O.O.L Mod being used in all its glory! The door that lies on its side was T.O.O.Led on an angle! And the post box was also T.O.O.Led on an angle. And yes the doors leading to the cellar below? Its also T.O.O.Led into place! Yes, we do not have cellar doors in game. T.O.O.L makes things possible in Sims that none of us have even dreamed of Ladies and Gentleman!!

And if you travel to the roof tops you will see it looking scruffy! The wall decals where T.O.O.Led into place for that abandoned look and feel!

But I’m guessing your sitting here thinking; “Well this is all well and good and your telling us of how to size things up and rotating things and what not, but why would I really want this mod in my game? What if I am happy with using the bracket [] keys to size things up or to use keys 9 and 0 to elevate things in my game.

But let’s say you only want to scale things just by a smidge or a fraction of what the bracket keys offer? Let’s say you want a bin that’s not too big and not too small either? Or any other object for that matter?

Here are some examples to just give you an idea of how lovely this mod really works

The difference is day and night! And don’t let me get started on how easy it is to do it. One thing you have to remember when using T.O.O.L Mod is you have to have a Sim on your building lot. If you do not have a Sim on your lot T.O.O.L Mod will not work on your lot!

You are going to have to Shift click on the item you want to scale. Click then on the T.O.O.L tab shown.

Then you will have to select which option you want. In this case we needed to scale a trash can

The scaling box will appear. It shows you can scale from 0-25. And decimals are accepted!

You enter the value and then press OK and Bob’s your Uncle!!

It goes the same with any other option you want to do in T.O.O.L Mod. I just showed what you can do with scaling. The possibilities with this mod are endless. And you can have hours of fun figuring out how to make things work.

You will find everything you need right there on his website about this mod and all the other wonderful mods he has created for the Sims!

Stay happy and keep on Simming!
