20 tips for building in The Sims 4!
Live building on Twitch tonight! https://www.twitch.tv/lilsimsie
1. Hold CTRL and redraw a wall to delete it
2. Use ‘bb.moveobjects on’ to freely move objects
3. Hold ‘alt’ to freely place and rotate objects
4. Use TS3 camera to get better angles
5. Use ‘0’ and ‘9’ to raise objects up and down
6. Set camera positions by pressing CTRL+[NUMBER]
7. Fix object slotting by placing an item on the counter, moving it off, and then it’ll remain at the same height
8. Use [ and ] to size up and down objects
9. Use F5 to place objects on quarter tiles
10. Use angled brackets to rotate objects and flooring
11. Hold alt to place wallpaper on just one wall, and shift to place it in an entire room
12. Build from Manage Worlds to have infinite money (or use money cheats – ‘kaching’, ‘motherlode’, and ‘money [amount]’)
13. Hold shift to adjust just one side of a roof
14. SHIFT+C gives more roof control options + smooths it
15. Use alt on roofs to get a more specific placement
16. Hold shift to place trim or friezes on just one wall
17. Make open landings + fix roof clipping inside houses
18. Save money by deleting the fence + underside of stairs on porch
19. Access custom cabinetry to have more options
20. Get more landscaping + item options in debug – bb.showhiddenobjects + bb.showliveeditobjects

this is everything I've ever needed
This was really useful, thanks
It's amazing how utterly terrible this game is about actually telling you how to do this stuff. Like if you have to make your audience watch a 20 minute video on how to actually use the games mechanics then in my opinion you've failed as a game developer. Aside from that great video just wish the actual game itself would tell you this stuff
Thank you this video is so helpful
For Xbox players, to open cheat box, press Lt, Lb, rt and rb at the same time
I have switched to sims 3 camera as well as turning on the moveobjects cheat but it still wont let me freely move items. Any suggestions?
OMG, I never knew about this show live hidden objects. I loved it!
It took me so long to figure out how to raise things and I was over the moon when I found out how to
how do you rotate them free
I'm saving this for later
Just got to 10.50, wanted to add that Rosebud gives you 10,000
Thank you 🥰
Tips 5, 7 and 8 don't work in my game 😭😭😭😭😭, how do I make them work?
This video helped me out a lot. My sims room looks so much more like an actual room with things cluttered together using the moveobjects cheat. I play on xbox and plugged in keyboard and mouse, makes playing so much more easier. 😊
Literally the best tips video! Thank you so much!!! I’m on my way to look at your tutorials!! ❤🎉
Awesome tips, learned a lot, thanks so much
hi!! i checked the changing sizes with the brackets but like i dont have them what do i do?
Thank you! Now I know how to place things on anything without floating/in the wall. Now I can clutter up. I am New creator🫶🏻 crystal pack getting for my birthday next week, my creations will have everything/will do base game stuff eventually. I don’t have twitch but watching your streams while playing is a huge vibe 💛
10:30 I would like to add that the button over there won't only give you infinite money, it will also give you the option to place all of that stuff that require a certain level in a certain job to be be unlocked
I just use the hammer to delete the wall.
oh my I can change the direction of the floor?? THANK YOUU!!! and the roof? I learned a lot thank youu
This was awesome thank you!!!
This is so incredibly helpful! I'm not a builder by any means, it's not my favorite part of gameplay but I do like to redecorate a little when I move a family in and I absolutely love clutter. I actually just made a live in cafe and the paintings weren't looking how I wanted so knowing how to scale and move them more easily will definitely make an improvement 😀
Yoww I never knew you could change the size of the objects
okay so holding alt to rotate freely aint working for me
This was really useful…if you use computer lol. I play on PS4 and 5. So I'm not sure I can do any of those things as the button layout is quite different. But I really enjoyed the information. Thanks!
Sims 3 camera is amazing thanks so much
