No, I don't want a close up of the birth, thanks anyways!

Especially now we have TJ's mod!

Since installing OFB I get a "location out of bounds" error while trying to use moveobjects to place an object on top of the mailbox. Is there a cheat command for this function?

[Verona]

Is it the mailbox cover you are trying to place, or a table?  Specify what you are trying to place there. 

[RainbowTigress]

Moveobjects worked before with either the mailbox covers or a table.  I hope they haven't messed this up.

Looks like they did screw it up tried to put windkeepers mailbox cover on one of the mailboxes with moveobjects and you do get a out of bounds message.

Awww damnit! I only downloaded it the other week!!! 

[Verona]

I'll bet Windkeeper updates it for OFB.  We just need someone with a sub to check it from time to time.

[gypsylady]

Is there a cheat forbuilding or placeing things out of bounds?


Edit...(.Found it, it doesn't work )  boolProp snapObjectsToGrid true/false

Me too!

Not only that, but you can't even move the mailbox, because when you try to place it again, you get the same Out of Bounds message.

[RainbowTigress]

That really sucks.  Why, Maxis, WHY?

[simmiecal]

Now that really sucks! I move the mailbox, trashcan and community lot phone ALL the time. 

[ZephyrZodiac]

Guess it also mean that if you lose one of them somehow, you won't be able to replace them!  And how about replacing damaged portals?   If you can't replace a mailbox on the pavement, and presumably can no longer put plants on the kerbside, then how on earth can you replace a portal in the road!

since I don't have OFB yet I can't check myself but I read that this "out of bounds" issue has to do with the spaces by the road, so it might be possible to shift the mailbox/trashcan/community lot phone to the otherside of the sidewalk without problems (other then what JM says about doing that *laughs*)

I think I read something about Maxis changing the limits on where walls could be placed, could be they screwed up when changing the settings for front part of the lot.

[RainbowTigress]

I've also had to move mailboxes on a couple of Maxis pre-made lots because of problems with unloading children on the schoolbus and with carpools.  I'm not sure but the problem may exist on some other lots as well.  How am I going to do that now???  Stupid Maxis.   

[MokeyHokey]

Yep. I  even tried the locktiles cheat and it also does not work to place the cover on the box. Bah.

[ZephyrZodiac]

I hope Crammyboy's portal monitor still works!

[Simsbaby]

What about that new cheat that lets you place different things on top of each other?

[BlueSoup]

Nope, I tried that.  I used moveobjects and the locktile cheat, both were a no-go.  Simsbaby, what's the new cheat?

[gynarchy]

Holding down ctrl + alt lets you place more than one object on the same wall section (e.g. a lamp over a painting). It doesn't help getting the cover over the mailbox. 

[vcline]

What about already-placed mailbox covers?  Do they still work correctly?

[gynarchy]

The ones I already had in my neighborhoods seem to be working just fine.

[gypsylady]

What about already-placed mailbox covers?  Do they still work correctly?

Yes The ones already in place work fine just can't place new ones.

[ZephyrZodiac]

I wonder how long it'll be before they release the OFB patch?

[vcline]

Well, that's a relief.  Now I have to go put covers on all my mailboxes before getting OFB.  Any new houses will have to do without until this gets fixed.
