All you need is * 2 packs I don't have * lmao they're cute tho

[@PeanutForBrains]

Same here lol

[@starrysunflower332]

There is a free mod that does the same thing. The red shelf. It’s wonderful.

[@tweedlebug123]

omsp red shelf by pictureamoebae works as well if you're not a console player

[@Gisellenid]

The red shelf is even better, as you can put more objects, bigger ones. You can also select the invisible swatch instead of the red one, so you don't need to deal with changing cabinets that the item would snap on.

[@idkwuzgoinon]

You don’t actually need these packs to do it. I do this a lot with my builds and I don’t use mods. Yes it will be a bit glitchy because it likes to move around at first when you try to place it. So you have to be patient with it but you can do it.

[@aasliceofteaa]

I've been using the omsp shelf but this is good for unmodded players‼️

[@tomokokurokiirl]

the what? i use mods but i’ve never heard of that

[@aasliceofteaa]

@@tomokokurokiirl it's basically a ref shelf that does the same thing, and also has an invisible swatch

[@FangyDoesArt]

@@tomokokurokiirl the OMSP shelf is One More Slot Please shelf, it should look like a bright red shelf in CAS, and when you're done placing it it has an invisible swatch so the shelf is invisible. It can go nearly anywhere you want!

[@juliannadouglass8844]

​@@tomokokurokiirl It's by Ravasheen, came out a couple months ago. Still haven't used it cause I kinda forgot about it but probably gonna try it now 😂

[@n4nn3rss]

​@@juliannadouglass8844Came out a couple months ago? its been a staple mod for years 😅

[@Ashtree28]

Ooh brilliant! I use the beloved red shelf CC item, but for people who don’t/can’t use mods, this is absolutely perfect.

[@lillylupton420]

I think I've seen that, but idk how to get it or how it works, I am a huge builder tho. Could you maybe spill the tea on this shelf?

[@fart63]

@@lillylupton420 there is no set up needed. It’s just a shelf that can be used to bring an item to the height you want. There’s nothing you need to know to use it

[@wolflover306]

The red shelf doesnt really work for me 😂

[@meredith.19]

Since the update the towel shelf thing in basegame works well for this too! (In bathroom clutter section!) 🤗

[@jessicagriffin4608]

just use the ctrl+9 key first with your objects and then add in the shelf. the shelf moves freely when you use alt.

[@lopezjalyssa97]

I wish they had the option to save these in a playlist like regular videos

[@reina2841]

You should be able to do that if you go into your watch history and save it there😊

[@kaylinlandry7335]

@@reina2841 dude thank you! could not figure out how to do this

[@NorthLand_Offroad]

@reina thank you so much ts is a game changer too😂

[@NorthLand_Offroad]

​@@reina2841 thank you so much thats a game changer lol

[@Toobero]

You can. Here's how: You're watching shorts and find something you want to save. You go back to your youtube page, play a normal KZbin video, any video is good. Then go to history, and play the video you want to save. Then go back to the history page, and now the one video you want is alone, and you can save it. Sorry if I'm bad at explaining!

[@vennedria]

For people who don't have the DLC, there is a CC, the OMSP shelf, that does the same. You use it just as the cube then delete it. If you share in gallery, since the shelf is gone, it won't count as a CC content.

[@EvaIdk__Romania]

Thank you!

[@skywalker6648]

Good to know there is finally an alternative to the shelf tool mod or having items off base or too far into the surface using shift 9.

[@Category_99]

as a console player, this has completely changed the game 😂

[@dabordietrying]

we can do this on console?

[@Category_99]

​@dabordietrying yes! press all four bumpers/triggers to bring up the cheats bar to turn on bb.moveobjects and then when you have an object selected you can press LT/L2 to cycle through grid/half grid/free placement. hope that made sense!

[@tiki92090]

Props to console players, because y'all are playing in expert mode!

[@chocolatecherries6680]

​@@Category_99 what's the equivalent of the alt key on ps4?

[@Category_99]

@chocolatecherries6680 to freely move: select the object and press L2 until you get to free placing to freely rotate: hold L1 and R1 and use right stick to rotate item hope that helps!

[@sparklesandroses]

This tip is LIFE SAVING!!!!

[@katiehunt2978]

OH MY GOD YOU ABSOLUTE BABE I've always fancied that red shelf but I don't like having mods/cc in my game so this is chef's kiss 🥰

[@oddcreature7629]

Thank you so much I am a console player and I finally have an easier way to my Clutter objects.

[@IzzyCoventina]

I love also using the bigger shelf from Dream Home Decorator as you'd be surprised what will go on that shelf you can then alt place on another object. So handy!

[@liesbethverlaeckt8083]

If you don't have the packs, you can also just use a (second) shelf at the same height, and put the clutter items one at a time on there, and moving them to the correct place with alt.

[@amye213]

OMG IT'S THE RED SHELF WITHOUT THE DOWNLOAD, YOU'VE CHANGED MY LIFEEEEE!!!!

[@neville2308]

This is great for console players! Thanks

[@tearlesereph]

I've been watching all these build shorts and now I'm obsessed with adding clutter everywhere. I spent nearly 5 hours yesterday building a little house just to add stuff and cried because things weren't snapping or moving where I wanted them

[@ashleyg8983]

Great tip!! Your tips have helped me so much in game ☺️

[@yvonneking1097]

OMG!!! Thank you for this tip!!! I’ve been asking so many people how to do this quicker and I ran across your video today. Oh my goodness thank you!!! ❤❤

[@Leto85]

What a creative solution.

[@breannapiscitelli3941]

OMG this is awesome. I used to use the red shelf mod it ain’t even realize that these are basically that without them are. Thank you. This is a great tip!

[@murilocarinhato7589]

you’re a lifesaver!! thank you so much for this tip

[@KhriiSleeze]

You the GOAT for this one!

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

WHOA!!! That is super helpful! TYSM!

[@elkparking]

Life = changed. Praise the good Doctor.

[@genmalone]

If you don’t have these packs and don’t use cc there is also a base game shelf that works for this trick. I forget the name of the item but it’s a double shelf that is meant for a bathroom I believe and the first swatch is white. Most items that snap to the cube shelves also snap to it!

[@queenniyah6872]

for everyone without any packs or cc, you can do the same thing using the same shelf. line up two shelves. in other words, do the same thing thats done with this video, but instead of using the square bin thing, just use another shelf.

[@notlargerthanlife]

Omg yessss thank youuuuuu!! ❤ I'm so intimidated by the TOOL mod, so this makes me SO happy to see I can do this without it!

[@calbabygirl953]

oh my god finally found my way to put objects without the tool mod (cause I'm dumb I don't understand how to use it)😭😭 thank you so much!!💖

[@koinebula]

As a console player who has always admired the red shelf from affair this is a game changer!

[@didosquarepants]

As an unmodded player, this hack is amazing! Never thought of this!!!

[@rayasunshine-qh7nu]

This hack is a life saver when I'm building

[@morticialiebe510]

Thank you! Makes a big difference for console players 💗

[@lead_panda]

Whhhhhattt. I just got the decoration pack yesterday and saw a short a few moments ago wondering why she used the cube. This is just blew my mind.

[@serenitycox217]

No lie this is one of the biggest reasons that I bought the "Dream Home Decorator" pack, lol that and the modular sofas. Pretty dumb I'm sure but it's made such a difference for me in my games. And I did wait until it was on sale, so for me it was worth it

[@Itsrainingsimmies]

This is a nifty trick for people that play unmodded! I currently haven't been using anything, but was about to download the red shelf tool, I might just do this instead considering I already have like a million mods in my game + a bunch of CC

[@hannaiszlai-nemet4153]

Thx this video, and HAPPY NEW YEAR! 😃❤️⭐️

[@kristinbeuscher8059]

You can also get a flat shelf and size it down with the object you want to place on it and then move the shelf to where you wanted the item to be and in most situations you can’t see the shelf

[@svt1388]

omg thank you so much I always see people use that CC shelf but I can't play with CC really, so this is so helpful

[@shalice21]

Why did I never think of this? This is amazing! Thank you!

[@emmafrididj5744]

This is good if your unable to get the red shelf mod for the sims that lets you place things at whatever height you need

[@lucial8]

Wow! That's actually game changing!

[@Draolven]

Great for console players who can't use mods! I know thwee is a key that functions like alt, unsure what it is off the top of my head. But so excited to try this. Thank you!!!

[@caliglitter148]

Thanks for this tip! I’m a console player and on behalf of all of us who can’t use the red shelf, Thank you!

[@Kate09090]

Wow, thank you!! The floating really bothers me, now I can clutter properly!!

[@Malvyni]

Omg you just changed my life! Those floating situations are so annoying 😊

[@catsncrows]

Omg I might actually clutter more now ugh. Thank you!

[@SuheilySu]

I honestly love how the cube looks; I think ima keep the cube 😂❤

[@kwiggy5091]

Oh this is fantastic. I'll frequently use modded shelving but there are plenty of pretty in game shelving and countertop items that I love to use and this will make it way easier

[@fionacoin5329]

Omg you just elevated my clutter game lol I'm in the middle of making a new build and this tip is about to be very overused. Thank you!! 😭🙏

[@LoveLeeAnne333]

Uhm LIFESAVER. So glad I looked up sims 4 tips while I got my game out. If I look at tips while off the game, I tend to forget the tip. Thank you Angel!

[@LyraDavis]

Basically it serves the same purpose as the Omsp shelf without having to use mods/cc - thank you!

[@maxhumblet311]

Or with the cheat on, you can just put it on the surface you want then move it away with alt, move the surface, then move the item where you want it and finely place the surface back!

[@emilypastran5222]

I didn't even know the alt key was a thing. Thanks!!

[@AriVirtual]

Thank you! Also windows work with quarter tiles! So helpful instead of alt placing

[@grownupgoth]

OMG TY!! I can finally decorate with out getting pissed off at plant pots!

[@natashakylie55]

Thank you thank you I literally gasped this is genius

[@lovelittle1361]

I knew they snapped to the cube but I never thought of doing this thank you

[@CrystalNibarger]

I did not know about this hack which is awesome thank you I love videos like these because I learned so much about what hacks to use in the game that I never knew about

[@got2bstylin]

OH MY GOD. This is so brilliant and yet so obvious I'm mad I didnt think of it first 😭😭😭

[@PaceFineArts]

The omsp shelf was the reason I started using mods and cc 😅 this is really good tho!

[@rinkagamine1621]

UGH I’ve always wondered how it was done so perfectly but no one ever explained it! I ALWAYS end up with that gap and while you think it looks alright as soon as you go into first person mode you realise everything is floating😂😂 thanks so much for this!

[@j4994]

Now I have one less mod I need to keep, thanks for this tip!

[@kail9036]

I was expecting the red shelf mod again, ngl. But I'm glad it isn't!! I play in console so this is really useful, thank you!!

[@bambina320]

This is a good way to place clutter. But many shelves work as well. Even end tables and other surfaces that can be alto moved anywhere.

[@DoctorAshley]

Please let me know which other shelves work! The shelves I use don't allow anything logical to snap to it :( End tables aren't useful here because the surface of a table is locked to a specific height

[@ryemabrahamson]

Omg you changed my life thank you so much 😭 this sh1t was sooooo annoying

[@Vic_Trip]

Great, just finished building my house and THIS was bugging the hell outta me with not being able to put decoration properly on surfaces. Thanks a lot.

[@tasha656]

This is an awesome tip for those who don’t play with CC, no need for the red shelf

[@Lady-Moosh]

I have never been so thankful!!! I always have problems higher and lowering items so this is awesome! I actually like the shelves too and didn't know they existed

[@cringetoastijane3812]

Congratulations! The sims team just added a bigger range of slot thingis! Yay 😂!

[@F0rever.B0red]

Thank you it helped me clutter my shelves

[@paularoth4915]

I put them on small tables, size the table down and then move the tables+objects onto their meant spot with alt and moveobjects on. Obviously this doesn't work everywhere, necause sometimes the mini table will show, but I still am a happy base game player.

[@yellowplumfaerie]

Saved my Sim life! 😮‍💨

[@saradm991]

Omggg how did I not know this?! This is such a game changer!! Tysm ❤️❤️ Edit: You've got a new sub btw ❤️

[@user-dh7tn6ib6g]

I was just complaining last night! omg thanksss

[@meanjeanmcqueen6171]

All I have to play Sims on is a PS4, so I am RIDICULOUSLY excited for this!!! Thank you!

[@XXXXBlossom]

Thank you for sharing I been asking so many simmer how to do the clutter hack and no one will share and if they do share they want you to pay them lmao it’s a hard no for me to pay someone who also got their info for free 😂

[@AshleyvD27]

Or download the OMSP SHELF mod!!! Using it for years now! Love it and doesn’t need any updates ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Mouse-go3gc]

It's funny seeing the same glitches being used in sims that I use in FF14 for housing XD funny I never thought to try it, but definitely will be now! thank you~

[@mikeymorphine8265]

wth...... I'm shooketh

[@XenithSND]

ASHLEYYYY OMG GAME CHANGER

[@quinncynicholas4850]

Theres a cc called ‘red shelf’ I forgot who made it but its an easy download, and it works the same way, if you’re looking to not buy the whole pack for that one shelf. Or, you can still use the raise function but instead of having it ‘float’ just drag the shelf up towards the item.

[@leepathenry1639]

Oh my gosh I love this and it makes my toes wiggle...I love this! Thank you! Lol

[@Please_ImNotEmo]

That's literally what I use when building my own lots!!

[@gravyz2cute4u]

Thanks! I was wondering how all the builders did this in their videos since I could never get it right myself.

[@filonarafinja]

It's like the red shelf (this one cc object everyone had before these packs existed)

[@lyn0083]

Nice to know. I still prefer the red shelf :D

[@mcar4able]

Straight up freaking brilliant

[@sammyf7082]

Yes!!! For us console players👍🏽😆 Thank you Dr Ashley

[@Raevon1992]

I’m on console and this would’ve made my designing soooo much faster. About to redo a room just because 😅

Nice I didn't know this! The red shelf mod won't be necessary anymore

[@KitastropheKat]

THIS IS BRILLIANT!

[@GalaxxVA]

Lol I did not know this trick until like 3 minutes ago, I was watching a lilsimsie build video and she did this then when the video was over I clicked on the first short recommended to me which was this one 😂

[@puppy-bo7yo]

This changes my next 1000 hours in Sims4. Wow.

[@carenneetienne4449]

Girl you just changed my game!! Thank you for this!❤

[@melanie_luv2_sew]

I think this is where lilsimsie got this trick from. I use any shelf from Hey Harrie Custom Content.
