I Tested Viral Sims 4 TikTok Hacks To See If They Actually Work 4

[@piperbird7193]

With the room under the stairs one, it might be too low for sims to walk through, but I wonder if we can make it a pet area. Doggie bed and some toys and have a nice little area for the dog.

[@saradm991]

Im pretty sure that would work actually!

[@xxbrattypupxx41]

I was about to type this or like a little kitty room do they give you cat doors like you could raise cats and run like an adoption center and rehome kittys!

[@taryngeissler8797]

I tried to do this and it would work unfortunately 😕 even pets couldn't go under there

[@piperbird7193]

@@taryngeissler8797 awww, that's disappointing. Cheers for testing!

[@nyxcuseme]

It should work, I got rooms and hallways under the stairs to work before. Maybe it needs "real walls" around it instead of the stair generated ones? Gotta test again too! 😅 Edit: Just tested it and for me it's the stair generated walls that block the Sims. If you delete the stair walls and put half walls or walls around the stairs, it works. Not gonna look the same as in the Tik Tok, but doesn't look bad either!

[@mariecathrinesoelemadsen566]

You have to delete the default room that is made under the stairs then put regular walls around it, then it should work as intended. The sims ways are blocked because they recognize the path being blocked because there are "two" walls, even though the doors/archways cuts through.

[@asakimayers]

Omg that camera hack is top tier. A plus plus

[@SkyeSalindar]

OMG the bobbing Hack! I'm 100% doing that as soon as I play again

[@Annataz_Arataz]

The downside to the camera hack is that it messes up the basement camera. If you go to the basement, it'll stop the camera from going any lower than about ceiling height, which I find pretty frustrating. I guess it just comes down to which way you want the game to make you mad.

[@runawayfaeIX]

Thanks for pointing that out! I never use basements, so it won't be a problem for me, but that is good to know!

[@lunarscorpio4]

I’ve been using the bathroom sink trick minus the basement to STOP the washing dishes in the sink plague forever 😂😂

[@TheFrecklish]

Exactly! My sims aren’t allowed to use sinks any anymore🙃

[@Vee92521]

Money trash can for tf win!!!!❤❤❤

[@saoirse_miller]

wait why did i never think of that!!! that's so simple but so effective

[@MudderToad]

definitely doing the camera bob hack! For the room under the stairs, I wonder if you have to put a platform under the stairs and leveled down one in order to access that little TV room. I think I'm going to try that.

[@personcalledalexis]

did it work?

[@chesirecat2969]

The hack at 14:41 is functional. It's just that you have to properly angle the chairs used as cushions. It's a bit fiddly. The hack also work if you just remove the chair cushions.

[@Caroline-qr7zp]

I don't entertain too much Sims content and creators, but you are so naturally amusing, I hope you'll entertain us with more of these!

[@katielouisejanewalker8433]

I just found your channel and binged watched all your sims 1 reminiscing videos and going through the others. Even feeling unwell, I couldn't help but crack up laughing. Keep doing you! Thank you for cheering me up!

[@nyxcuseme]

I have done little walk ways / rooms under stairs before, and they always worked. 🤔Maybe it's not tall enough at the door bit? Edit: Just tested it and for me it's the stair generated walls that block the Sims. If you delete the stair walls and put half walls or walls around the stairs, it works. Not gonna look the same as in the Tik Tok, but doesn't look bad either!

[@juliavonsundersbuhl5302]

It works for me always with straight stairs

[@silvervixen007]

Never saw the day coming where Satch would get "my first pet stuff"🙊

[@-Reagan]

A tip for the window nook with chair pillows: to make it playable just arrange the chair pillows to one side. You might be able to do one or two on each side, no more. The sims need a place to sit unobstructed. You can use a chair sized down for this, too. As for curtains they need to be far enough away for your sim to pass beneath them. You can pull the walls on each side out one more square. To avoid the curtains clipping to the walls either remove the walls, and replace them after you place the curtains OR place curtains by raising them from the basement. Create a basement directly beneath your nook area. This way you won’t need to pull the walls out another square. Place your curtains on the basement wall below and raise them to the height of your walls in the room above. Be sure to add lighting so they won’t be dark. Another alternative to curtains is a simple spandrel!

[@snowypop]

I build bathrooms under the stairs all the time. Great for a half bath.

[@12fishcake]

2:07 I like this! Could definitely do that with the raised platform underneath to bring the fountain up a little and fill out the corners with a little movebojects and sized down plants or something. I think it'd look pretty good in a commercial lot or modern park of some sort!

[@damnedza9368]

Bit of a tip for anyone struggling with free placing items with move objects, try changing your view so that you're looking at it from the top. It's not fool proof it just helps to lessen that annoying snapping when placing items near walls.

[@AmberHelenaReisig]

The camera one!!! Really happy you shared that one, it’s driving me crazy!

[@river9994]

14:41 this would look great as a window seat pushed out from the house rather than the two walls jutting in. Thanks for spending the time showing us these hacks they are always interesting, and helpful, and you always make me chuckle

[@penndracosdragon2246]

For me to make it work for the room under the stairs (just doing it outside not in a build right now) i put walls walls all the way around enclosing it raising it up one and deleting the inner wall were the second arch is the can sit on sofa and enter no problem

[@Player_D]

Add a fireplace instead of television, and you'd have a perfect romantic spot for a couple. I'm thinking of doing that hack in a cabin in Mt K. Thanks for this tutorial!

[@x-zen105s.5]

i literally felt tears come when the bobbing up and down hack came, as a builder, yes this is the best hack i have ever seen and cant wait to try it out

[@petuniabuilds]

Trying the ignore lot level hack. That is so annoying when I build! Thanks!

[@lindadeuville1483]

The fountain looks really cute. Great for a courtyard.

[@pigletrainbows7824]

That No Bobbing Camera! YASS! 🥰

Where is that checkered rug from around 4:20?!! It’s sooo beautiful perfect I love it 😩

IT's one year later, but it is from the Pastel Pop Kit😅

[@rachelc9908]

@@privategeorgina6829 thank you :)

[@LiterallyAllNamesAreTaken]

what if we combined the sink hack with the ottoman hack? placed the counters on basement level to make the ottoman functional?

[@faisalobrien]

THE STAIR THING IS SO CUTEE!! maybe you could make a small toddlers room or harry potter room

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

These are all really cool tips and tricks :D

[@chizrizz-q8i]

Just found your channel randomly on suggested section and I'm loving your contents

[@clarapouliot5031]

Hey Satch! Could you make a review of the royalty mod? I think it would be great! Love your vids btw ^^

[@erisbob]

So Very thankful for the bobbing fix!!! I primarily build, so this is brilliant!

[@iamboring6511]

Your KZbin is such a motivator for the sims 4

[@envy2069]

Looking at this made me rlly excited for Paralives! Because we’d be able to do most of these “hacks” because the functionality will be in the game!

[@Phantom_Fireside]

THAT LAST ONE IS A LIFESAVER

Omg the camera bob correction trick is amazing!!!!!

[@ellenvdf4272]

i appreciate that you don’t use an intro that nobody cares about lol

You're my favourite simmer so far!!

[@PristinePanda]

some of these remind of the ridiculous hoops people have to go through to build anything remotely nice looking in FFXIV housing. idk how people even figure this stuff out haha

12/10 on that camera bob thing.

[@catsncrows]

I saw the under stair room awhile ago and tried it and was so sad my sim couldn't use it. However if I want to teleport a sim into a secret room and "forget" about them I now know how to build something interesting 😈

[@z.startedafire]

i did an aquarium inside my house on the second floor. was frustrating at first, but i def loved it.

Im so pleased im not the only one that struggles so much with building in the Sims 4. Roofs particularly I really can't get the hang of

[@athinadillmann9234]

Thank you. The thing with the camera angle is pure gold. 😊

[@sagefaribole]

Why was seeing Satch stressing about free-placing curtains so funny? 😅

[@laurendubosky]

Immediately running to change the camera setting because the amount of times I’ve had my camera yeet up and down while I’m building 😒

[@garcemac]

I am building on a lot in Windenburg with a HUGE stone wall and trees at the rear. every time I go near that wall I go flying off into space. I'll try that ignore lot level "hack". Wish me the best! Thanks, Satch! Edit: You demoed on the same lot that is driving me CRAZY!

[@elizabethjane7015]

The pain is real when placing curtains! 😖

[@aerendyll]

For the ottomans in the alcove, I suspect you can make the ottomans functional if you place the kitchen cabinets in a basement and then use 9/0 to adjust the height they are on. You'd going to need to play with the lighting and such, though.

[@Adelaide_Cuthbert]

The first one would be cool if there was a bench like this, and put a tree or firepit in the middle to have a cozy park vibe, ya know?

[@lauriewilson822]

YES! Finally I can utilize those corner couches!!!! Sweet, going to book mark this so I can go back and try some of these hacks. So glad you attempt a few to see if they work.

[@kaileychambers6969]

15:11 Note to self, hack to fix camera bobbing. This will definitely be useful 👀

[@bonsaikitty29]

Yesss I was thinking of a fountain as soon as she pulled them outward

[@Travikus]

the ottoman dilemma: what if! you divide the sitting area with a tiny quater wall so that it is a tiny bit lower than the ottomen (ahhaha), but you create a 2 square sitting area, where behind the ottomans you put shelves instead of cabinets so that you could properly clutter that area. OR a platform. I know you hate those, lol. so you'd have a sitting area with cluttered windowsill. solving the usage problem: whilst the ottomans are not in the cabinets but just separrated by the quarter wall, there is a chance they can work already. but also you could pull them a little further so that sims recognise them as sittable. i'm gonna go try everything i just suggested

[@devineinterventionneeeded]

Let it burn 🤣🤣🤣

[@alexpark472]

The last one makes you feel like a hacker or a computer programmer lol

[@lisaspelarthesims]

Thank you for trying hacks so I don't have to (and can see which actually work)

[@lizzieraugh]

The couch with the fountain reminds me of the mall.

[@Vee92521]

The ottoman thing would've been functional if you put the counters in the basement bc game doesn't think it's on that floor so you'd be free to sit down. ❤

[@auringonnouseminen]

15:13 pretty sure that caused pressing 9 to randomly zoom me out

[@alex_is_out]

I wonder if the room under the stairs would work for a child, or a toddler

[@early2exit]

NO BOBBING!!! THANK YOOUUUUUUU

[@Liusila]

I feel like anything that the sims can’t actually use shouldn’t even be shared, because what’s the point then really.

[@lvmomma46]

I've never been successful putting anything under stairs, even with tall wall height. Best I could do was a toilet.

[@verbfrombonsai8852]

I'd probably do an ottoman like a coffee table on the stairs hack so it would still be functional?

[@3rdfatedsimmer840]

While the camera hack one is nice i do believe that game updates reset all files back to original state, so you'd have to redo that hack after every update which is a bit tedious to remember and do.

[@sinrenfield]

The only time ive seen the kitchen counter window seats in game, everything about it had clipping issues. It was kinda of annoying sadly because the look is cute

[@lilacsnail]

I used to have understairs bathroom once... It worked just fine

[@lovebeauty8363]

I didn’t even know you can change the couch!

[@J2sons]

I got it, so use stairs without the cover under it, like use the stairs you can see straight through n I raised the wall up tall, n it will be functional😅

[@dannydanbo58]

The Designers pack has an ottoman that would work.

[@ladywarrior1775]

actually under the stairs you have to remove the wall of the stairs and build a wall then put the door it works

[@bentebrunia]

i think the hack with the ottoman might work if you use the basement trick again to put the cabinets there?

[@zeliarossemeyling-hansen8945]

I am the only one who can't do the camera bobbing hack, the last hack he shows? Like the way they do in the video, mine look nothing like that, is it because I'm Danish...?
