      It took me years to get used to it. Building with cheats in previous games always seemed to break something and was more work. Everything is fairly reliable nowadays.
      I don't consider alt or shift to be cheats though. They both work without doing anything special.

      There are three primary locations for real-life trash cans, and none of them are in the middle of the room: next to the toilet, under a desk, and *in the counter under the kitchen sink!* Why can’t the kitchen bin go where it always goes in real life???

      I also hate this. I usually use the apartment trash can chute if I need a conveniently placed trash can. It works for most builds. You just need a little available wall access. Also it works against stairs so she had the perfect place to use it in this build 😉

    4:19 - Kayla, without cheat/move objects, it has to fit to a grid. It's NOT fitting to the square grid below when you try and move it, so without the cheats it can't do it. The same with the book and mirror.
    And you *can* put the bush that close to the house... if you take off the foundation - since the top of it sticks out, it gets in the way. It's why the small plants work - they're short enough to go *under* the bit that sticks out. Same with the trashcan - it's too big!

      You have these controls on console.
      First to "alt place" press the upper left bumper, this will tell you in small print "Full", "Half" or "free" placment. Free placement takes the object off grid.
      To size up or down an object pick up and hold said object, then press and hold both L and R upper bumpers and use the directional pad up or down to resize.
      To use all the tile options use the directional pad left or right to rotate the floor tiles direction and or chose quarter (the Triangle shaped) floor tile option.
      For more controller uses press down on your left joycon to open the menu. Do this in both live mode and build mode as each has thier own control functions.
      These function require no cheat codes but if you wish to use cheat codes, open the cheat bar by pressing all 4 bumpers. This will give you notice that using any cheat will negate your ability to earn any future gaming achievements/trophies. So if you are going for those then Don't open the cheat bar. Once your bar is open (in the upper left screen) enter the cheat you wish to is, bb.moveojects and such.

    I didn’t know about Alt placement until I watched your videos, and got Sims 4 for the PC. Now I love it.

    i built like this for like a week because i couldn't figure out how to add cheats to my game (i play on xbox) and they were / are significantly worse so well done kayla, this honestly very difficult.

      Do you know now how to add cheats? Press down on all 4 bumpers. Note, you will not be able to earn achievements/trophies once you use any cheat.

    me watching this with nordic 60% keyboard: so basically aside from the alt placing and move objects, you built what I usually build :D
    The keyboard I use can't re-size objects and with nordic layout some hotkeys are different... =/

      I do not know much about keyboards but on the Danish version of s keyboard i use, i can size objects up and down on the å key(right to p) and the key right to 0.

      @@sannajrgensen7241 on normal keyboard for me they were on the PgDown and PgUp So eh... and on another one they were the Home and Ins keys so I've just given up on using Quality of Life cheats mostly on my current setup which basically has the letters and number top row - no Function keys, no numpad and no separate arrows and the 6 keys above them (they're behind another combination of keystrokes which Sims4 doesn't care about)

    Have you ever considered building a powder room/bathroom beneath the stairs? I've done it on a few builds, and it's so useful and then beneath the stairs isn't a waste!

    As a console player, find out how cheats work on console was the most AMAZING thing, ever. I will never go back

    i had no idea you could change just one side of the roof, or that you can rotate the floor, or that you can have quarter pieces, or that the underneath of stairs even existed, and i've been playing this game for years.
