Features
- Works with the Baby Steps: Multiplayer Mod — edits, prop placement, materials, grouping, physics modes, and custom accessories all sync live between players for collaborative, real-time level building
- Prop placement — browse and place any prop from the game's catalog, organized in a searchable, categorized palette
- Transform gizmos — move, rotate, and scale props easily with on-screen handles, plus precision numeric entry in the properties panel
- Grouping — combine props into groups and transform them as a unit, with group root position, rotation, and display scale all preserved
- Custom accessories — turn any prop into a wearable hat or held/grabable item, with hair, offset, sunglasses, and passthrough tuning
- Terrain Holes — carve holes into the base game's terrain by dragging in the Terrain Hole prop
- Spawn points — place where players start in your level
- Physics modes — toggle per-prop physics behavior, including freezing in place until disturbed
- Base Map toggle — hide the base game world to build on a clean slate
- Undo / redo — full editor history
- Save / load custom levels — save your builds, browse them in a custom levels menu, and load them back in

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
