    I'm new to your channel and I'm so glad I've found it. This is still an amazing tutorial and I'm glad it's here, 3 years later as I get back into playing S4!
    The only thing I would add is this, and it's so incredibly simple to most experienced players that they never mention it in their tutorials: to make the menu taller than two rows, simply press 1. That will show more items on the screen. It was very hard for me, scrolling 2 rows at a time through the debug menu when I first started browsing it. Being able to show more than 2 rows is another game changer.
    To make the menu close and show more of the build, click on the category icon to the left and it will hide the menu.
    Just so simple but when you're a complete newbie, this is vital to know.
    Thanks for your amazing work!

    Another good idea is to always put a sim into the home and test the items you have used move objects on before putting the home on the gallery. If you add a cupboard around a fridge etc, sometimes the fridge cannot be used until you have played about with fine adjustments on items, 😊

    Super helpful thanks! I wonder if at 3:20 since you said it doesnt take up counter space can you still cook on that counter now? I also wonder if it depends on the size of the object, like the bread box while still not being directly on the counter would be too big for a sim to try to cook...or would they cook and it would clip? I've never really built anything before so im excited to try now 😍🤩

    • @Gryphi
      @Gryphi  Před 5 lety +15

      Theres a "style tool" at the top with all the other tools. You can use it to click on an item to change the color. Additionally, once you grab an item from the catalog, before you place it down but you're still holding it you can shuffle through swatches using + and - on the number pad :)

    Every time I try to build a house, I run into so many issues (because I'm a noob). Is there any way to seamlessly resize an item? I noticed that many rugs scale very abruptly. Does the move objects cheat help with placing windows horizontally wherever you want them? I'm also obsessed with skylights, but I can never get them right. I've tried framing them with regular roof pieces, but my roof design does not always allow for that. Also, do you have any advice what to do about the walls that a skylight/ceiling spawns? A tutorial on different ways to add skylights/different skylight designs would be awesome! So many questions! I'm sorry...
    This video was great! Now I just need to remember everything...

    • @Gryphi
      @Gryphi  Před 5 lety

      Glad it was helpful! There is no way to seamlessly resize an item - just has set sizes it can be sized too. Aditionally, windows cannot be moved horizontally wherever you want them. Just on the grid.
      I don't think theres specific advice I have for skylights... Theres almost always walls created in the process. Just takes a lot of fiddling with them to get them to look the way you want.
      Sorry I couldn't be of more help D:
