In this episode, I’ll show how to make your Tabletop Simulator mods feel way more playable using snap points, no coding, no scripting, no programming skills needed.

You’ll see how snap points work, why locking your components matters, and a practical method for placing points precisely (using a helper object + the Gizmo tool). After that, I’ll show how tags let you control which components snap to which points.

Then we’ll take it one step further with Rotate Snap, so components not only snap into place but also snap into the correct rotation handy for grid-based card play.

Finally, I’ll demo how snap points can be used to build simple slider-style trackers for values like action points, privacy, or initiative.

In this diary entry (24 January 2026), I show how I turn a roll-and-write scoring sheet (my “thief sheet”) for my Master of Thievery game into something you can actually use inside Tabletop Simulator: editable text fields plus a big set of clickable checkboxes.

I walk through a practical workflow in TTS, including how to size and align fields, how to copy groups of fields so you don’t have to build everything one by one, and how to save the result as a reusable component. To do this, I use the Make Anything Editable mod from the TTS Workshop..

At the end, I also cover a workaround for situations where you’d like editable surfaces on both sides of a card.
