(i didnt know where else to post this :/) Post by: Osaga12 on June 19, 2007, 07:44:02 pm Use the cheat, boolprop allow45degreeangleofrotation true in the neighborhood screen, to rotate objects in 45 degree angles. Use the < and > keys to rotate the objects. Or you could use this object (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=102657) of you don't have any EP's or don't want to use cheats.

Title: How do i place objects diagonally? (i didnt know where else to post this :/) Post by: ancienthighway on June 20, 2007, 01:18:28 am This cheat requires University so if you don't have that EP it won't work.
Title: How do i place objects diagonally? (i didnt know where else to post this :/) Post by: LaurenW on June 20, 2007, 01:19:06 am i have all EPs and GL stuff pack, so it should work
wait is is Boolprop Allow45DegreeAngleOfRotation true or BoolpropAllow45DegreeAngleOfRotation true beucase i have seen it both ways :/ Title: How do i place objects diagonally? (i didnt know where else to post this :/) Post by: ancienthighway on June 20, 2007, 01:23:39 am boolProp allow45DegreeAngleOfRotation true/false is the way it's published. Most cheats aren't case sensitive.
Title: How do i place objects diagonally? (i didnt know where else to post this :/) Post by: caffeinated.joy on June 20, 2007, 01:28:32 am I find I don't have to worry about upper or lower case, but for some reason, some people do. Try typing it in as ancient has it.
Title: How do i place objects diagonally? (i didnt know where else to post this :/) Post by: Jagerjaques on June 20, 2007, 01:58:49 am I use: boolProp Allow45DegreeAngleofRotation true

by the numbers: 1. start a raw text editor like Notepad in Windows 2. on the menu bar click File 3. on the pop-up menu click Open 4. in the browser window look for Files of Type - change this to All Files 5. browse to My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Config 6. open userStartup.cheat - create this file if it does not exist IMPORTANT: although this is a text file, it does NOT use the .txt file extension, it must be named userStartup.cheat to be used by the game. 7. add a new line at the top 8. add boolProp allow45DegreeAngleOfRotation true on the first line 9. create a blank line after boolProp allow45DegreeAngleOfRotation true 10. save the file Now as soon as the game starts it will be enabled and you no longer have to add it every time.

Title: How do i place objects diagonally? (i didnt know where else to post this :/) Post by: Dinki on June 21, 2007, 03:40:43 pm Correct me if I`m wrong, but isn`t Uni required to do it? Do you have University EP Lauren? or what EPs do you have?
Title: How do i place objects diagonally? (i didnt know where else to post this :/) Post by: LaurenW on June 21, 2007, 06:25:49 pm i have all the EPs plus GL stuff pack
Title: How do i place objects diagonally? (i didnt know where else to post this :/) Post by: BeosBoxBoy on June 22, 2007, 01:27:24 am then it seems you have a bad install of the game, and may have to do a complete un-install and re-install. Before you get to that - are you tapping the , key or . key before clicking the mouse? be advised, not ALL items will turn 45 degrees
Title: How do i place objects diagonally? (i didnt know where else to post this :/) Post by: LaurenW on June 22, 2007, 05:24:56 pm wait
how so i get them to turn diagonaly? isnt it just click and rotate like regular? or is it something more? Title: How do i place objects diagonally? (i didnt know where else to post this :/) Post by: trl on June 22, 2007, 05:32:53 pm Lauren, click on the object and then use < and > to turn them. :)
Oh and for some reason, this cheat is case sensitive for me. I must type it in as Bendabond does. boolProp Allow45DegreeAngleOfRotation true Also sometimes I need to also use boolProp SnapObjectsToGrid true and move_objects on if the object is too close to a wall or other object. EDIT: Here is a thread that lists all Maxis acknowledged cheats click here (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=10646). Title: How do i place objects diagonally? (i didnt know where else to post this :/) Post by: LaurenW on June 22, 2007, 05:38:44 pm maybe that is my problem!
