Updated:
- List container slots and offer to snap an object into any slot: stand on a table, decorate near walls on a counter, etc.
- Hexadecimal guids.
- Adjustments for weight, shadow type and crapness (slotted in under flags).
- Cancel button in the attribute report.
- Stop effects, headlines and make opaque one object for screenshots.
- Unselect the object after deletion.
- Minor bugs.

Is there an option to make a Sim think about the selected object or person?

Do you want to start an overhead effect for a screenshot? You can do that now under All -> Show Overhead Effect. You can put it over everyone using Affect All.

I expanded the text file with a description of what everything does. Some bugs were fixed with affect all on multitile. More related objects pickable directly under the shortcut menu. Ability to create multiple copies.

Thanks! I ran into a glitch. If I select a Sim and then try to make someone think about them, I either get squiggly lines or a placeholder box:

It is fixed. Thank you for reporting. Looks like the bogus icon is the motive icons or the conversation icons squished together. Also now gives the name of person's template to make it clear why some people might not be affected.

Does this one allow for objects to be at a 45 degree angle? If not, whats another mod that can do that?

I think you want to use a built-in cheat.

boolProp allow45degreeAngleOfRotation true

Maybe temporarily together with

boolProp snapObjectsToGrid true

You can put these into userStartup.cheat, and the second one with an alias


If there is a way to write rotation notches to an object, I haven't done it, and I would have to save the original state somewhere to restore normal rotation because not all objects work like that.

Question: Can this be used to move multiple objects of the same type into a Sim's inventory? I was hoping to use it for these custom fridge stockables which need to be restocked from the Sims' inventory, so I was hoping for an easier way of moving them all there.

No, I don't have a tool for moving multiple objects into the inventory. COE doesn't do (almost) anything with inventories. It can collect a bunch of objects of the same kind into one pile in the world. It can copy one stockable or anything into a big pile of many (cheat). Inventory is only a temporary storage. MC can place one object into the inventory, including forbidden objects except architecture. I don't want to update my mods now. The Affect All switch had a few bugs and transplanting it into MC would likely lead to mistakes.

Is there a reason this doesn't seem to work right on a college dorm? I wanted to select an object but the dialog failed to appear. I tried several other options and the only one I found that worked was "remove object instance" on a person.

I haven't encountered that specific issue. Maybe for some reason it doesn't work while paused on that lot and you can try unpausing the game. If you use it while unpaused, its state can get corrupted sometimes. I worked around that by having a wait time between dialogs. I guess you already tried to buy a new box.

It worked after I restarted the game. Gremlins again, lol.
