Hiya
Grr this has been driving me mad for almost 2hrs lmao. Im trying to do the one more slot package so that i can put more stuff on tables etc. I try both the cheat codes you need for them and they keep saying error so i cant get them to work :bawl:
Can someone please help me
Thank you

boolprop snapobjectstogrid false. To turn it off type 'true' at the end and the objects will snap back to the grids... obviously xD

If you're trying to put stuff in the slots, try pressing the m key.

Make sure you are typing it EXACTLY like this, with the capital letters:

boolprop snapObjectsToGrid false

boolprop snapObjectsToGrid true

If these:

moveobjects on

moveobjects off

aren't working, try these:

moveObjects on

moveObjects off

There are also some custom objects out there which don't sit  on any surfaces (or if they are moved to a surface, are not usable), but are made to be placed only on floors or terrain, no matter what.

Just a note:  Capital letters aren't necessary... it's just a means of making it easier to check if the code you're typing in is inserted correctly.  It's helpful to do that nonetheless.  :angel:

Beg to differ, as I always - always - get an error flag in the cheat box, and the particluar cheat is not active,  if the proper caps aren't used.

Ah... okay.  :angel:  Now that I think about it, it does probably have something to do with the userstartup.cheat file.  But then again, even before I had mine, it didn't matter if I added caps or not... still worked without them.  :lol: Overall:  Different machines give different results, so hopefully what you suggested will help yvette.  ;)

Hey^^

When using the one more slot package you use move_objects on to get the package onto the magisplay tray or whatever it's called first, then put it on top of the one more slot surface. If you have snapobjectstogrid false active you will find it hard/impossible to get the objects onto the tray or one more slot surface.

Once the object(s) are on the tray + one more slot surface you can put the snapobjectstogrid false cheat on and move the whole group together, then when it's in the right place choose the recolour that is invisible using the design tool.

To get several items on one desk you may need to use several trays+one more slot surfaces if you're having problems - so do the same, then just position them next to each other.


Also I thought the cheat was 'move_objects on' ? o_O

Type:

help -all

into the cheat box to get a list of the majority of the cheats as offered/punctuated per EA/Maxis.

Beieve they actually may list the snapObjectsToGrid cheat as boolProp rather than boolprop, but outside of the userstartup.cheat (that is, in-game) using boolprop instead doesn't seem to make any difference.

Eh? Why are you quoting me? ^^; Sorry if that's a stupid question

There's a great debate over caps or no caps. I find I don't need them and, as Tenshii said, are there more to help you proofread. Most of the time it's easier to recognize if the caps are there than not. In my game it makes no difference if I type "boolProp snapObjectsToGrid" or "boolprop snapobjectstogrid", so long as I spell it right. It's harder to check for a typo with no caps.

And the cheat you're thinking of Trepie is moveobjects on. There's no underscore in it. :)

Mostly because of your asking about the underscore in moveobjects cheat.

Wow thank you for answering me everyone. Ill have a go at this one now
What i was doing was buying the slots, putting stuff on them, then trying the code & then trying to put a table over them or putting them under a table etc but it just kept saying cannot be used with objects, something like that anyway lol
Ill try this now and see what happens :)

Woot thank you so much it worked, ive put stuff on a sideboard that you couldnt normally put stuff on but now ive run into another problem lol. I tried using the invisible slots after so you cant see them & it didnt work lol

Someone over at TSR created invisible shelves that are fantastic. I use them all the time.

If you want, I'll hunt down the link for you.

I figured it out lol i didnt know where the design tool was

That's really strange! 'move_objects on' is what I always use, weird that there are so many combos that work.
Sorry rwills - was confused because I didn't know why you were talking about snapobjects etc, was almost 2am so I was easily confused - but after a reread now I see the punctuation thing and it makes loads more sense ^^;

LOL. I think that's what contributes to the overall confusion. Things work differently from computer to computer and from system to system. I suppose the bottom line is if it doesn't work one way, try the other. Boolprop can be a bit frustrating, but remember it was designed for the MAXIS developers to try things to see if their code works, not necessarily as a tool for the players to use. That it is available is nice.

Yea, boolprop snapobjects etc works for me with caps or without, and I don't know if moveobjects works for me as moveobjects - I'll have to check that out, I always accidentally type + instead of underscore anyway :P
Anywho..

Glad to hear it worked out for you.

There are some OMSPs (slots) which, for whatever reason, either don't turn invisible in the recolor option or else revert back to non-invisible when the lot is revisited.

Don't offhand recall which OMSP designer is which, but have generally found that if the slots are green, they 'hold' the invisibility better than do the brown ones.

In some cases, I think, the problem lies with the slot itself. In other cases, it may be a small conflict with some other item affecting surfaces, such as a (pure guesswork here) 'make non-deco items into deco items' hack or perhaps with a 'make any surface a buffet' slot.Noticed that in my game, the in visibility got glitchy after using a 'make corner countertop into usable space' slot hack.

Personally, I use both types of OMSPs and the tiny visible footprint of the non-invisible ones doesn't particularly bother me, but of course your mileage may vary.
