Condo essential QoL suggestions

Just thought Id start a thread for some QoL changes that would benefit the condo side of the game massively.

Grouped items

  • Rotating - Currently if you try to rotate grouped items, each part will rotate from its individual origin, a center point pivot would save a lot of time.
  • Location - Grouped Items don’t have the input box for xyz location like single items do.
  • Scale - Same as rotation, Being able to scale the entire group so that it acts as a single item would be a huge change, especially if something complex was made slightly too big/small.

Others

  • More options to hide built-in items in default condos such as the kitchen, sofa and aquarium in Suite. This would offer much more in terms of customisation for the default condos.
  • Prefab System - I know there were talks of this being in the works. Its something that would majorly benefit condo users.
  • Not a massive deal but the undo and redo buttons bug out big time in co-op condos and a fix would be nice so people dont accidentally ruin their friends work.
  • More of a want not a need but we lack patterns and textures big time - velvet, leather, floral, polka dots, abstract etc. I try to use in-game textures as much as possible to save on performance so would love some more realistic-looking textures to play around with.

Will add to this as things pop into my head but I feel like these are some of the more obvious ones.

Gizmo work with groups is pretty complex work. Rotation with groups is a known issue and hopefully will be resolved after we tackle some of these harder bugs. But scaling grouped items is very difficult to figure out.

  • More Suite editing is underwork right now.
  • Prefab system is currently in development, but it’s my weekend project right now because I’m prioritizing bugs.
  • Undo/redo is getting redone, it was in development and there’s a bunch of work done for it, but it’s on hold for a bit while our other programmer tackles some additional issues.

Bug work a priority of course but nice to hear that most of these things are being worked on :smile:

Yeah I was hoping to have more prefab work to display in this week’s dev log, but I ran into an issue. Hopefully next week!

Another thing - Copy + pasting but you run out of items so can sometimes lose half a build, a warning would be a nice addition ^^

this wall in suite closet possibly gets a hide option too? :pray:

honestly you should make a thread just for “things that need more customization/need to removable in the prebuilt condos”

I see a bunch of them have been given the option already in the catsack updates last night but I know its technically not an “item” so wont have been on the radar. Although a thread just for things we want removeable would be nice.

This bug has been a thing since 2023 and it still hasn’t been fixed.

I’d like to add to this that this also tends to happen when you have both the edit menu and gizmo open at the same time.

This one is related to the first issue and I finally figured out what causes it.

This one has also been around for as long as I can remember but I never reported it.

This is another one that’s been reported a while ago.
