For example fridges are just a little too small and i would like to scale it up just a bit but then i can't use this fridge. Can't move dish there, can't click on it to choose "take leftovers" etc. Is it just me or it is common problem with functional objects?

[@LargeTayterTots]

Scaling objects that are functional can cause issues! I've found it's best to leave appliances, doors, and computers as is. Scaling decor, seating, and clutter should be fine!

Was wondering if anyone new...Using the tool mod to scale down for example a table, do items still float on it? Like when you use the in game option. Some of the items are ridiculously large but if you scale them down you cant place items on them as that part wasnt scaled down with it. Just wondering if the tool mod would rectify this issue.

[@LargeTayterTots]

Yes, I believe it would float. You would have to move the objects on the table manually or elevate them with the tool mod.

[@twinklelight5514]

@@LargeTayterTots Thanks for speedy reply. Shame as I was looking for a mod that would rescale but still be able to place the objects without the floating issue. One of those many issues I find sooooo frustrating lol.

everytime i try to move my objects they just disappear 😅 like they vanish as soon as i try to move it, while i’m still in build/buy mode. i have to undo the action to get it to come back (in its original position). i’m not sure where they are going or if there’s a way to fix it. both my better build buy and tool mod are updated to the newest versions so i’m not really sure what to do about it lol
