Toggle District Snapping [Snowfall Compatible]
It allows toggling of snapping to roads while painting districts. In the base game, you can never turn off snapping to roads when painting districts. This really annoyed me sometimes, especially when trying to make districts just perfect, only to have the snapping foul things up. It also is helpful for making districts with borders that run down the middle of streets, etc.
While using the district brush, hold LEFT ALT to disable snapping.
NOW AVAILABLE! Option to disable snapping by default
Go to Options > Mod Options > Toggle District Snapping
Check the box if you want snapping turned OFF by default. To get snapping, hold LEFT ALT.
This mod does not affect your saved games at all. It can be subscribed, used, and unsubscribed with no ill effects.
This mod should have no effect whatsoever on performance. If you’re having performance problems, it’s likely caused by other mods/assets.
UPDATE: SNOWFALL COMPATIBLE!
I have done some initial testing, and it seems that the mod is still compatible with Snowfall (both the free update and the paid DLC). However, it’s possible that something else is broken. Please let me know in the comments, along with whether you have the paid version or just the free update.
IMPORTANT: The Snowfall DLC broke a lot of popular mods. BEFORE you blame this mod or downvote or generally be a jerk, do your homework and make sure it’s not some OTHER mod that’s causing you problems.
Vanilla OR After Dark
This mod is compatible with both vanilla AND the paid After Dark expansion. I have the AD and have tested on that. Others have reported that it still works in vanilla.
UPDATE: Now 81 Tiles Compatible!
BloodyPenguin worked with me to make this mod compatible with his popular 81 Tiles mod! Thanks so much for his help and hard wor. NOTE: You MUST be using BloodyPenguin’s new version of 81 Tiles, NOT the old one (that I think is broken at this point).
Known Incompatiblity
– None!
I haven’t tested with any mods other than those I already use. If you run into compatability problems with other mods, please report them.
This mod overrides the standard behavior for the “DistrictTool” class, so other mods which do the same will be incompatable (I don’t know of any at this time). Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to make changes that are more granular than this.
None for now! ?
– Clickable UI button to toggle on/off
– Customizable hotkey
