FreeBuild No Snap / Support

The mod has been updated. If you are already using it, please run INSTALL_OVERLAY.bat one more time!

Seriously, why won't roofs go on top of walls? I almost lost my mind building, so I just made a mod. I pray for the day this mod becomes obsolete.

FreeBuild - No Snap / No Support

Place buildings freely, without having to attach them to an existing structure.

What this mod removes

• "Adhere to other building"
• "No supporting buildings nearby"

For relaxed collisions, try using the FreeBuild Plus (Relaxed Collision, No Support Required, No Attachment Needed) mod! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3775582493

Why do I need INSTALL_OVERLAY.bat?

Steam only downloads the mod into the Mods folder. That is not enough for this mod to work.

INSTALL_OVERLAY.bat is a one-time install button. It copies 2 small patch files into the game folder so Soulmask can actually use them.

Think of it like this:

• Subscribe = download the files
• INSTALL_OVERLAY.bat = install the files so they work

It does not change or delete the main game files. It only copies 2 extra patch files. You only need to run it once (or again after a big game update).

Installation (required)

Subscribing alone is not enough. Please follow every step once. [olist] [*]Subscribe to this item. [*]Start Soulmask, wait for the main menu, then close the game. This lets Steam download the mod files. [*]In your Steam Library, right-click Soulmask and choose Manage then Browse local files. [*]Open the folder WS\Mods\FreeBuildNoSnapSupport. [*]Double-click INSTALL_OVERLAY.bat. [*]Wait for Installation complete, then press any key to close the window. [*]Start Soulmask, open Mods in the main menu, select FreeBuild and press Apply. [*]Fully close the game and start it again. [/olist]

How to confirm it works

Try placing a roof piece in mid-air. If it can be placed without any "Adhere to other building" or "No supporting buildings nearby" warning, the mod is active.

Troubleshooting

• Access denied when running the file: right-click INSTALL_OVERLAY.bat and choose Run as administrator.
• Folder or file missing: make sure the Steam download finished, then start and close the game once and check again.
• Stopped working after a game update: simply run INSTALL_OVERLAY.bat again.
• Nothing changes in game: confirm the mod is applied in the Mods menu and that you restarted the game afterwards.
• May conflict with other mods that change building placement.

How to uninstall

Run UNINSTALL_OVERLAY.bat from the same folder, then unsubscribe from this item.
