@SimGuruModSquad: cfe?
What are the chances of the constrainfloorelevation cheat becoming available again? Is there a technical reason for its disappearance from the out-of-box game, or did it just get dropped because nobod...

@SimGuruModSquad, are there any new developments on this? Asking because this sounds like rather the opposite of what you said above:SimGuruHolms wrote:
We really like the types of stuff CFE can do, but it was super hard to use in the past and therefore wasn't used my most users. We would like to look for new ways to accomplish similar outcomes in the future though!
(In reply to my question why it had been removed, about a week ago)
Does this really mean "we think our users are too stupid" or rather "we prefer selling dormers and stairs for 9.99 in our online store" or .. what?
(Maybe I misinterpreted your "no technical reason that this cannot be supported" remark? To me that sounded like "no big deal, just have to turn it on" but it could probably also mean "well it's not technically impossible but since it would require a bazillion man-hours to implement, no way it will actually happen" .. )
???
I know nobody can comment on what will / will not happen in the future, I'd just like to know what the problems are with this. It might be similar to moveobjects on in some way? As in, might be mod-able but within certain limitations?
Guys,
I'm sorry for the confusion. To attempt to clear things up, as some of you have said, the build system is completely new and different from the Sims 3 system. Given that, the cfe cheat would need to be re-implemented, and that would take a fair amount of time. What I was trying to say is when we were deciding what to spend our time on, we prioritized features that have the greatest overall impact first. In the build case, this is so we could deliver an approachable and solid build system, the foundation so to speak. CFE is a really advanced feature. This kind of decision is actually one of the toughest parts of game development. Deciding which features go in, and which ones don't. We always try to strike a balance.
That said, we love our builders and all the super cool stuff you make and figure out how to make. CFE is a great example of that, it lets you do awesome things that I certainly could never have figured out. Just understanding how it works makes my brain hurt :) We want to make you guys happy, and supporting this kind of feature is something we will certainly talk about!
Hopefully that answers your questions.
