Live building on Twitch tonight! / 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

I love how excited the Sims community is to welcome new players. There's a lot to learn about this game, but there's also so many people like LilSimsie who make helpful resources like this! There is one more shortcut that I think is worth mentioning. Ctrl+F can be used to cut floor tiles in half diagonally. It's great to use to make custom floors or to create a clean edge where the floorboards meet in the corner of a wrap around porch. Also, the fish, frogs, and insects from the debug can be placed in the world and they will be inside little aquariums. The fish can be mounted to hang on the wall. There are also feathers in the Cats & Dogs expansion that can be hung on the wall and they turn into little framed pictures of of the birds. (I don't know if the bugs and birds are available in base game. Bugs would probably be in Outdoor Retreat?)

I always like these videos because while I do know most of the tips by now, there's always at least _one_ thing I didn't know. This time it was the alt placement for roof heights. I had no idea that was a thing. I usually got annoyed when I would try to line up the roof with the wall and it just wouldn't work. I would end up rebuilding or reshaping the house lmao. Now I have a solution! 😁

I know you don't usually use or mention mods, but I feel like pointing out that Twisted Mexi's mod "Better Build Buy" organizes and names most the debug and live edit options, so instead of searching debug, you can search "trees" and it will give you all the debug trees. It just makes your debug tips a lot easier cuz they're more organized

Thank you so much Kayla! This is super helpful! On the German keyboard: sizing up is ' sizing down is ß (so the two keys next to the backspace key). Raising and lowering is 9 and 0. Rotating clockwise is . and counterclockwise is , (to free rotate, simply hold down alt and drag the item). The rest should be the same.

Roofs clipping when making a stair landing can also be solved by making the fence go through the stair opening. Like at the top of the stairs, don't break up the fence, but continue it. The game will make it invisible and sims can use the stairs, but the game will also recognize the space as a room and not clip the roof.
@Zandalorscat
@Zandalorscat Рік тому
Good tip! I thought the fence going through the stair opening had stopped working? I remember sometime around the release of Snowy Escape all of a sudden the stairs of most of my downloaded builds became unusable and I eventually figured out that I needed to delete that fence part. Maybe it's been fixed since then, I'll be sure to try it out later. 😃

if you click ctrl+shift+tab it switches to the sims 3 camera as well so if you want to move an item using the sims 3 camera you can switch fast with that and then click ctrl+shift+tab again to go back to the sims 4 camera

The base game has so much and plenty of mods if you play pc support just base game if you crave more free stuff. Its a great game and I hope youve been enjoying the world you created! Im a long time simmer and still learn things from these videos. One I didnt see/remember covered but another comment mentioned ctrl+F makes floor like carpet diagnal half pieces.

I’ve been playing Sims 4 since January 2014 and I’ve always struggled with building! I would never make my own houses because of it. I knew a couple tips from this video, but so many others provided the a-ha moments I needed!! I think I’m going to start practicing building again with these tips and maybe I can eventually make some houses or lots I’d be happy to play with my sims in 😊

I love this so much! I always thought that you used mods for a lot of these and since i'm not so experienced with mods yet, I've never tried to learn how to do this tricks. But learning now that this is just base game, it makes me so happy! Now I can finally build rooms with more creativity and personalise rooms a lot more, so that's great. Thank you Kayla!

this is honestly the BEST video i've seen so far with tips to build houses. I am a beginner, but I already know all of the "normal" stuff so that like really initial tutorials don't help me squat. but these tricks change everything! thank you thank you! gonna check out your other videos for sure!

Its absolutely brill that you put this together, especially for any newer Simmers that are coming into the game or returning to it. I know when I got Sims 4 the last game I played was Sims 2 Pets and it took me so long to work my way around everything. I'm positive any future gamers will be very appreciative for these hints and tips - hopefully it'll make build mode more fun for them as well

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 :D
