    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

      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?

      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

    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!

    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.

    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 )

    Useful stuff! The 9 and 0 trick came in very hand when making a natural pond using stones around the rim, piling them up so they overlap without gaps.
    Found the Ctrl+F thing on another video but OH MY GOODNESS it was killing me trying to figure out how to place diagonal floor tiles up to then. OOH and I didn't realise shift let you move one side's overhang at a time! This changes everything!

    I've been playing the sims since I was 7 (aka when it came out) but I was never big on building. Interior design was my fav. I appreciate these tutorials so much. The sims 4 is sooo complex that I had no fucking clue. I've avoided building since it came out. But thanks to these tutorials I'm getting more comfortable and learning things I never knew before. Thank you!

    Just if you don't know it, but you can chance the camera from sims 4 to sims 3 on the camera button which is the 3 one from the right... :-)

      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 :-)

    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. 😊
