Cheats: Alt: rotates freely Ctrl+Shift+C: Opens cheats menu bb.moveobjects: Allows u to merge objects 9: move up objects 0: move down objects Hold down Ctrl: keep the camera angle from moving ]: to scale up [: to scale down + & - (on number pad): cycle through color swatches on objects Hold Shift: move one side of the roof at a time or ,&.: rotate the floor Ctrl + F: turn the floor tile into triangle so u can make it diagonal Just trying to help so u don't have keep rewatching the vid (like me) Like so others can see

[@abbysimmer8326]

Meagan Clarke I put the testingCheats true on the white bar and it says Cheats are enable..... Then I go back to the white bar and press bb.moveobjects on and it doesn't says Moveobjects are ON..... What should I do?

[@meaganclarke8759]

Alivia Goddard no I don't just want likes I just wrote down the cheats so I don't have to keep watching the vid to see how to do them, and it also might make it easier for others to see the cheats. Unlike some people I don't need likes to feel good about myself

How to Rotate/Size/Raise & Lower Objects on PS4/XB1 Freely Rotate Objects: Select the object you want to rotate then press L1+ R1 (PS4) / LT + RT (XB1) at the same time, then use the right stick to rotate Resize Objects: Select an object you want to resize and press L2 + R2 (PS4) / LB + RB (XB1) at the same time and use your D-pad ( buttons) to scale the objects size. Raising/Lowering Objects: L1+L2+R1+R2 (PS4) / LT+LB+RT+RB (XB1) at the same time to bring up the cheat bar, then type in bb.moveobjects Then select the object you want to raise or lower then press L2+R2 (PS4) / LB+RB (XB1) at the same time and use the D-pad (up and down buttons) to raise or lower objects. I tried all of these and they worked for me so hopefully this helps other console gamers who don't know to do this in build mode. (I'm a PS4 player so sorry if I got the B and T buttons mixed up for the XB1 controls )

This is something I really love about you James --- you make a really good teacher. You're willing to share your knowledge so your fellow Sims players can get more out of their gameplay. Personally, I know all but one of these tricks, but I watched the whole video because I love your videos in general :D. The one thing I didn't know is the trick about holding shift to change the eaves if you don't want both sides to match. That's really cool. Thanks, James!

[@kimlsm8981]

Ahhh awesome danke :D

[@SuperMrminecraftdude]

One of the biggest improvements that i went through is that i learnt to not build too big rooms and houses. Its much better to start as small as you can, and then if you feel like you run out of space, just expand your rooms a little bit. Small and well decorated homes look MUCH better than really big and empty homes because no matter how much furniture you put in a really big room, its hard to really fill it so it looks good.

[@aalruu]

the rotating floor thing was there since sims 2 :D It surprises me, that so many people did not know about it. I just thought "Hey, can I rotate these too? Yepp"

[@sarahvalerie4307]

yeah, I found out about it really easily because I use those keys to rotate my camera. I always get annoyed when I'm trying to build and I try to rotate my camera only to rotate objects or the floor lol

[@amydavidson2656]

SpiderMax nah I’m still figuring out which key to press. Is it in the video I fell asleep halfway through. Not cuz it was boring just cuz it was 4am binge watch kind of thing. I have it on sims 4 camera is that why? But I tried sims 3 camera but it was all foreign to me

Amy Davidson then use the Sims 4 camera style lol. It's not required to use the Sims 3 camera style, especially if you never even played it before.

Hi you all swedish, german, or whatever forgein country you are from. If you are one of a forgein country and cannot do the bracket thing, i can say that most keyboards from other countries have ( buttons. You just simply press alt and the chosen ( button and it should work.this worked whit my swedish keyboard, so i don’t know about yours.. anyway it should probably work. 😊

Like some of the keys that you use, I can't use, because I have a different keyboard... Like I got æ, ø and å (I'm from Denmark). Like the key were you make things scale up and down in size is different on my computer, so that kind of sucks :-)

wow, i already knew i suck but this made me realize just how much. i've been playing mainly the sims 2 for like ten years, never really learned how to build on sims 3 and now i'm paying for it because building on 4 is so different from building on 2... i never even learned how to do roofs in sims 2 because it has the automatic roof thing that has always worked well enough for me and i was so shocked when i noticed 4 didn't have that. so i've only been doing flat roofs but this video made me realize i'm doing that wrong too, i haven't actually done anything to the roofs so my flat roofs are actually just floor lol. i thank the sim gods for the pre-built rooms every single time i play because without them i would never get any actual playing done because i would never ever finish a house

This is very helpful! I know, I sound cheesy, but it actually really is!

Yup...I was fortunately aware of all the cheats covered, including the one briefly hinted at...the hidden objects one. However, the one I use the most frequently, would have to be the move objects cheat. I really love that cheat!
