Question Adjusting plot position after placement

With earlier versions of Sim Settlements, I used to be able to make small adjustments to plots positions after they were placed, by using the Place Everywhere tool. For example:

a) place an interior commercial plot, but the floor part is a few pixels too high, and plot contents are "floating" over the visible floor
b) select the plot outline, use Place Everywhere to drop the plot position by the needed pixels
c) use ASAM Sensor, Refresh Plot, to refresh the plot contents at the new position

However with some recent update in SS or WF, these steps no longer work. The Refresh Plot option just keeps refreshing the plot contents at the originally placed position.

Are there any configuration changes I can make to SS or WF that will allow small adjustments of plot positions? Or is there some other new procedure I should be using?

My configuration: PC, SS 3-in-1 4.1.6, Workshop Framework 1.1.9, Workshop Plus 1.0.5b, Place Everywhere 1.18.0.1138

Try this, for science: Make your fine tune adjustment. Instead of immediately refreshing the plot, turn away from it so that you are no longer looking at it. Wait a bit. (maybe go to the other side of the settlement and then come back) Then look back at it/return and see if it has corrected itself. If it hasn't, then do the refresh plot bit.

Thanks for the suggestion - I tried this out, even travelled across the Commonwealth to another location and waited 24 hrs before going back. The plot did not automatically refresh itself to the new location, and manual refresh plot just refreshed to the original position.

Thanks also for posting that related bug thread, I'll keep an eye on it.

well, poop.

With Place Anywhere, in the direct move mode (vs menu move) you have to look away from the selected object when you are done moving it. That's why I recommended trying the above mumbo jumbo. It also happens when I've moved something/anything with PA and then reselect it too soon it snaps back to it's original position.

I have recently this problem you are experiencing with Place Anywhere on my Xbox.

But I don't have the problem anymore. And I have know idea why it was a problem and why it isn't now. (Things that are problems and then mysteriously aren't really make me crazy.)

But this also leads me to wonder if time is somehow the key.

May be clogged scripts??? Isn't that what we say when we don't know what it is?

As I've played on longer tonight, I noticed that in at least some cases if you do nothing and just wait, the plot corrects itself: The sensor moves to the box. But shnizz has been kinda of all over the place. Inconsistency will drive you mad.

The other thing to try is the look away, wait a second, and then just select/cancel select the plot to see if that yields a different result than the refresh plot route.

I have same issue and it has been reported in another thread. The only time I have been able to micro adjust is doing so before the scaffolding pops into place....

The minor tweaks as done in the past is a beautiful thing - especially in adjust plots for later levels.
