No diagonal furniture!?
Did Maxis change the way to rotate furniture 1/8 of a turn? , and . don't work for me anymore, and trying to use < and > caused the camera to spin...

There's nothing about it in the manual except the rotating floor tile thing, which really isn't about this at all. It's just another thing that rotates. :argh:

Doesn't the boolprop allow45degreeangleofrotation cheat work with pets? Do you use that cheat to rotate furniture?

No...? Now I'm wondering if I downloaded a hack that turned that always on and forgot about it. Erm, let me start up the game and try that.

it's the cheat that allows furniture to be moved like that. if you didn't have to type it in before it was likely either in your userstartup.cheat file or you used something like 'see them' which may no longer work.

SeeThem works fine. I've had no problem with it. You do however have to enable it once you install a new EP.

From the sounds of what others have said, the boolProp cheat for moving furniture angles works fine.

I'd check through the list of hacks posted as a sticky, and see if you have any ones that are listed as not compatable. Or, try disabling custom content then seeing if it works - it should help you figure out where the problem is coming from

There are some situations where the furniture-rotating keys cause the camera to spin. It tends to happen if you try to rotate a build item like a door or window.

OK, this is what happened. I used a hack to turn it on permanently and forgot about it, so I thought the 45&deg; was a normal part of gameplay. I got the error message because I didn't know that boolprop allow45degreeangleofrotation needed true at the end.

Once I found that last bit out, everything was fine. Thank you all for your help!
