So excited for this series! I also love that you don't plan to use the aspiration calculators or zodiacs. I will admit I'm a sucker for the scripted events and the canon lore, but I honestly hate deciding hobbies and aspiration in such a regimented way. You never end up with interesting cases like a shy romance sim, or a mean family sim that way. I roll a dice to decide aspiration personally, and base hobby off the highest associated interest (that I've mapped out myself). Great job on the house as always!
Thank you for watching! And I completely understand the nostalgia over canon lore and scripted events, it's just something that I don't think would be interesting because we've all seen it time and time again. And abt the zodiac system, I'm an astrology girlie irl so I use an overhaul which fixes the compatibility to actually make sense 🤭 and use the RPC launcher option to unrestrict personalities from zodiacs. So we can have a mean cancer, shy leo, active capricorn etc..
This may be my favorite Goth house reno I’ve seen :) Bella’s room is very interesting; it makes me wonder if she knew she was going to disappear/ something bad was going to happen, and was researching magic to protect herself.
So creative and cozy, I loved it! I think Alexander has interest in aliens too due to what happened to Bella. And the garden and the backyard is so beautiful. Watching you in Brazil 🇧🇷
BIBI I LOVE IT💕 How do you do it ???😩 I almost cried at the final reveal - it is my absolute FAVORITE of your renovations thus far! I think of the Goth family as being secluded since Bella’s disappearance. Perhaps Mortimer and the family were a bit more lively back when Bella was around, but since the disappearance, they only have a select few they mingle with. Everything else remains private. AND SPEAKING OF THAT DISAPPEARANCE. We all know Bella was last seen on Don’s rooftop looking through the telescope. The telescope is pointed RIGHT at the Caliente household. The Caliente household has connections to extraterrestrials (family tree). Dina wants Mortimer’s money. Don was rejected for a make out sesh with Bella (Don’s memories) and instead got himself into a pickle with the “next best thing” (Cassandra… “living in her poor mother’s shadow”). I think Mortimer paid Don off and/or threatened him to marry Cassandra to keep things a little hush hush about Bella and the rumors… But that’s just what I interpret from the evidence the game gives us. I am so excited to see your interpretation of the events. Especially with free-will and the blending of the neighborhoods☺️ KEEP IT UP BIBI💕 Looking forward to the next video!
I absolutely love your builds! I love how you take the base buildings and turn them into more modern personalized homes. I am blown away every time!! I wish I had HALF of your building skills 😭 I find it so relaxing to just sit and watch you do your thing with these builds. Looking forward to the lps and the chaos, drama and scandal!!!
If you really like making your own stories how about making a custom hood where every Sim is made by you and has its own story? PleasantSims started a series like that and built apartment buildings, community lots etc and populated it with like 20-30 Sims. I enjoyed watching that series but she's not making any more episodes. Also a great stream idea!
Oh I'm DEFINITELY going to create custom hoods in the future, creating the terrain map in sc4, the sims, the builds... It is quite the time-consuming task tho so I'd like to know I can commit to it in the long-term.
First of all, I'm blown away by your creativity and talent! Such a beautiful and magnificent renovation, really fitting the Goth family! I can't believe you've been doing CZcams for only 6 month? (I think you said it in one of your previous videos) You're soooo good with the quality of the content you put out! Crazy respect! 💪 I'm so happy you're doing an Uberhood! They're so fun and different from singular neighborhood let's plays. I'm currently playing Pleasantview+Belladonna Cove+Bluewater village Uberhood and the drama is impecable! Also, the way I often play the Goths is that they are old school aristocrats (almost royalty) with a certain set of rules they must uphold. No electronics in the house; women always get married in black dresses (like the royals used to do before Mary, Queen of Scots); the older male heir always inherits the house and land; as the "heir to the throne" the teen male heir always has to get military training (so master the teen Military career); all the Goths are buried on the home lot. In my current Uberhood, Cassandra was left at the altar by Don, the SAME day decided to sleep with Darren and hastily married him the next day, because she was pregnant. They moved to the Dreamer's house and wanted to get a cat. Their neighbor, cat lady Tara Kat (from the occupied houses bin), was selling cats at that time and Darren went there to get a cat for Cassandra. He met Tara, they had CRAZY chemistry and two days later, he cheated on Cassandra with Tara AUTONOMOUSLY (I'm NOT using ACR) and Tara was pregnant. So the NIGHT Cassie was giving birth, Tara just showed up on her own, kissed Darren in front of Cassandra and Cassandra found out about the affair in the middle of her labor! Cassandra was even ready to forgive him, but as soon as Darren knew Tara was also pregnant, he asked Cassandra for a divorce. So, having both an ex-fiance and ex-husband in a matter of 4 sim days, Cassandra became evil, started to hate men, moved back home with her daughter and turned herself into a witch. I'm using Pandora sims extra spells, so she'll actually be able to kill sims after she masters her magic.
ooohhhh myyy gooosh that story is insane xD poor Cassandra went through an entire lifetime's worth of drama in a week sgjshughsdgi. I absolutely see her going down an evil witch sort of path after this sort of thing. And thank you so much for your kind words!! I actually made my first video a month and a half ago so it means a lot to know I don't suck too much :'D I don't really have a fancy setup but I'm trying my best.
Such a beautiful mansion !! All the time has been worth it!! I love the outcome! I'm looking forward to seeing your let's play next week!! I noticed something interesting at 28:15 .. wonder if that was Bella in the window?? ;)
I’ve done a couple of pleasantview games one with all the hoods and sub hoods and the other. I’ve just done the main ones you get in the original game and I love it it’s fun seeing who ends up with who plus it gives don and the romance sims more options
Ooh, the Goths! Such an iconic family, the Sims wouldn't be the same without them. Mortimer's hobby is nature, which makes sense as he has an 'unusual fondness for insects'. For Cassandra, her hobby is tinkering, but Film and Literature is a better hobby for her. And little Alexander... I just want to be there as a big sister for him. His hobby is nature, but science is so much better for him. As for Bella, in TS3, her favourite colour was actually red, which matches her iconic dress. You did a fabulous job with this build. Now, here's what I did with them. Dina did not actually get married to Mortimer and Don didn't get married to Cassandra, as both Don and Dina (as well as Nina) were all found guilty of Bella Goth's disappearance. Mortimer and Cassandra were horrified that their to-be spouses (and sister-in-law/step-aunt in the case of Nina) were responsible for the loss of their family member. And poor little Alexander was heartbroken that his mother still wasn't found at that point. However, there was still hope. John and Jennifer didn't give up, and little Lucy was helping Alexander with bits of information wherever she could. Eventually, the Burb parents found Bella hiding out with Kaylynn Langerak, her brother Parker and their cousin Thomas (based on a townie with the Langerak last name). But Bella wasn't the only Goth there; she had given birth to Mathilde; the third child of herself and Mortimer. This was a great shock, but Mortimer, Cassandra and Alexander welcomed the toddler with open arms. Mortimer and Bella were happily reunited and remarried, living out their golden years together. Bella continued to help Kaylynn at her toy shop, while Mortimer became a 'cat' dad to Hector; a descendant of TS1 Goth cat Hecuba. Cassandra had happily married Darren, and continued to climb in the Science career. Cass is an awesome mother and stepmother to Dirk. They also have a cat, Melina, a descendant of TS1 Goth cat Menelaus. And Alexander and Lucy have fallen in love and will get married as adults. Alexander is getting into the whole 'technology' business that his parents never seemed to insert into their house.
I'm more of a TS3 girlie myself, but I'm so excited to see where you take your playthrough! Also you did a great job with the Goth's house! I love that you were able to kind of modernize the house but still kept that 'Goth' feeling in the house.
Thank you so much for watching, I'm super happy you're enjoying these videos! ☺️💖 To confess, I haven't tried playing sims 3 since its release 😭😭💀 but I'd be interested to revisit it with "fresh eyes" after so many years because I literally don't remember anything about it 😭😅
@@bibipixels For me Sims 3 was my first introduction into the sims series, (I didn't get any of the games until i was already an adult, lol) so while I enjoy Sims 2, Sims 3 feels more natural to me. Especially since I'm recently returning, TS4 had me in a chokehold these past years. 😅 If you ever get that urge to play 3 I say go for it though! 2 and 3 both have their own special charm to them.
Another amazing renovation!! I LOVE that you plan to base aspirations around something other than zodiacs - there are too many of the same types of Sims that way. I like to roll a dice when unsure what my Sim would choose as an aspiration. As for Bella - you have the clean template, right? So Bella's in the family bin, right? I like to use a mod to keep her locked on a lot out of the way and pretend that she really did get abducted by aliens, and when Mortimer dies, I usually age Bella up to an elder and have her pass on, too. One time, I did "bring Bella back" right before Mortimer's death so he could have closure. Then, she helped Cassandra raise her kids in Goth Manor and visited Alexander often. Cassandra actually aged into an elder before Bella - it was very unique.
Finally came back to finish the video after I got interrupted halfway through and I absolutely love this Reno!! The interior turned out gorgeous, with all the little Gothic details. And I love the cemetery. I'm happy that the renos aren't done yet, and am looking forward to seeing you tackle the lots from strange town and veronaville. As for your description of the upcoming gameplay it sounds great. I'm not a rigid player either and like to play more freeform like you. Using their spontaneous actions to tell a story and balancing that with my own input. I already love the storytelling you're inserting into the game with Alexander developing a fixation on aliens after Bella's disappearance. And the small details like making sure there's space for a live in butler for this family. You are still the only Sims channel that has currently captured my interest and I'm really looking forward to all your upcoming content. I hope your channel quickly continues to grow so you can make money off your hard work!
Ooh what a great renovation. I love what you do with the grave. It's simple but make it very nice and tidy. I can't wait for the gameplay and chaos that will unfold. On the other note. Idk it's my phone or else but i need to put my volume at max to hear your voice talking. But it's such a great video. Also can't wait for the mod video. Keep up the good work Bibi 🖤🖤🖤
this is my favorite renovation of yours so far! all the little extra details really make the house. i especially love your approach to the roof, as well as the vines and window flower boxes ❤️
@@bibipixels you did amazing! looking forward to Strangetown, especially the brothers Curious. I love giving their home a liminal/vaporwave inspired makeover
Aaahh I'm glad you like his looks! ^^ I trust they'll give us good visuals, but let's just hope The Sims 5 makes a better commitment to proper gameplay.
@@bibipixels it was wonderful in everyway!! I love your lot renovations! The Grunt's lot renovations were spectacular. Hopefully Maxis make The Sims 5 a fairful game and give to us a worthy and coherent conclusion to Goth Family's lore.
You've actually been a huge inspiration for me in renovating and decorating my lots in Pleasantview! :D I've never been very good at building and I only just started using build cheats and mods for decorating so I think your videos have been really helpful in getting better with that stuff! Can't wait to watch this and to see you reach 1k subscribers soon!!
Thank you so much for your support! ❤️ And I love to hear that you're finding inspiration and experimenting with your own builds. There really isn't one right or wrong way to do it, we all learn from trial and error over time~
You have some really beautiful CC in this build! I love all the art nouveau pieces you added in. Maxis gave us a few art nouveau pieces here and there in TS2 but not enough to do a whole build. This looks great!
Hahaaha thank you, I'm glad you like it! * prays to the youtube gods they don't take down the video for this :> There's a reason why the Goths were the promo family for Makin' Magic, it's just perfect for them and in my headcanon Bella is a witch.
Omg when the game crashed during Mortimers makeover! A) As I was watching I kept thinking “omg your game is such high quality how does it not crash?!” - sooo that answered that 😂 and B) The crashing sound will forever haunt me Also, I am SO looking forward to your gameplay! If your builds are anything to go by, I can only imagine the gameplay. I’m especially excited about you going off the beaten track regarding gameplay rules etc. We need some fresh Pleasantview gameplay and ngl, I think you’re going to bring it 🙌🏼
lmfaaooo I know right? It usually crashes only after many hours of gameplay, but it's been struggling more during recording because it's running multiple heavy processes at once. I ordered a new PC I'll be paying off for a while so hopefully we'll see less crashes in upcoming videos 😅 Anyhooww, I'm much better at building when it comes to making videos because I feel nervous talking during gameplay 🥺 So I'll probably be awkward at first but I'll try my best. My rules are: no rules 😅😅😅 I operate mostly on calculated chaos as in I have a story in mind so I won't just autoplay and let things happen. I'll fulfill wants and tweak the narrative along the way because I like it when my sims have free will to do whatever they please.
Less than 10 minutes in but the exterior looks so good already. Love the roof details and the changes you made to the house structure. Now it really looks like the luxurious Gothic house they deserve! The original door and gate looked so sad and underwhelming. On another note the staircase you placed looks perfect for this style of house imo!. I think these Victorian houses often had stairs like that. Any time I've toured older houses the stairs were normally not super huge.
I made a video a couple of weeks ago where I showcase some of my favorite build/buy CC, you can look it up on the channel. Additionally, if there's anything you like in particular give me a timestamp and I'll try to find a link for you.
In my game Alexander moved to Strangetown in hopes of finding Bella, super excited to see how your game turns out! Also would love to download this lot if possible, the cc you use is gorgeous!
I'm also thinking Alexander's alien fascination might lead him to move to Strangetown 👀 For now I probably won't be uploading these lots as they're really super CC-heavy. But I would try to find active links to specific CC you like and want to download.
@@bibipixelsNo worries! I actually spent the last couple days renovating my own Goth house as I was inspired by your video and managed to find some of your cc to re-create the sun-room at the back of the house etc :)
Oooh the sort of berry color is pretty nice on the outside! I never know what to do with Bella. I started off following BigMouth's series and having her move in with the Smiths in Strangetown at first. But I'm like now what? 😅
For the sun room, you can use the greenhouse walls and roof! I just did this the other day for the Roth family is Riverblossom. You can place it on a foundation, connect directly to the base house, and place the greenhouse roof. The roof may not be the aesthetic you want, but it's an option!
Sorry had to pause the video for half the day before finishing it! Your play-through plan sounds like fun! I don't play with calculators or rigid rules either, I found that really hindered my creativity. And spreadsheet sounds like torture to me lol. Your idea of doing polls sounds really fun and interactive! Looking forward to it!
I can't wait for this to start! You said you won't be following the scripted events but will you still be doing some to just get the ball rolling? Like Cassandra marrying Done, Daniel cheating etc?
Yea, it'll be a bit of a slow burn in the beginning and I'll probably follow some of the scripted events, even though I've kind of disrupted them because I've already loaded and play tested the houses a bit during the makeovers.
Bibi!! I saw your first video and instantly fell in love with your builds! Your Goth build is beyond amazing and you really catched their vibe💓 I only have Sims 4 (I do miss sims 2) but it inspired me to redo the neighborhoods in the game. Keep up the beautiful and marvellous work ❤️
Can u pls share where you got Cassandra’s hair in the thumbnail? I only have have the super collection so I’m not sure if it came from a different pack but if it’s CC I’d love to get it!! Love this remodel xxx
Cassandra's hair is a default replacement of her original pigtails. You can get the one I use from this post, just keep in mind that it will replace the base game pigtails hair: keoni-chan.tumblr.com/post/140930857682/defaults-3-poppets-v2-colors-and-textures
Hello Bibi!!! Greetings from Greece ❤ I’m a huge fan by the way! I wanted to ask you if there is any way you can upload somewhere your buildings in order for us to download them they are amazing ❤
Hello neighbor!! 🇧🇬❤️🇬🇷 Thank you for watching, I'm glad you like these videos~ Unfortunately I won't be uploading these lots for now, there's simply too much CC to package
@@CallmeCalypso I recently made a build & buy video that you can watch here: czcams.com/video/jfoKAPgXBeA/video.htmlsi=A-Nea6ri7bSiXXV7 I'm showing some of my favorite custom content objects and you will find a link in the description to all the sites where you can get extra stuff for your game. If you are completely new to downloading and installing CC for the sims 2, I suggest also watching this guide by another sims youtuber who explains how to get started: czcams.com/video/kzD0k1yn2NM/video.html
That's so goood! But can you please tell what cheat code you use here when you change the height of objects near walls? Or what kind of key combination?
This applies to wall hangings and shelves only I believe. You need the Apartment Life expansion pack and you use the brackets [ and ] to move objects up and down. Additionally, I recommend getting the Shiftable Everything mod, which enables the same functionality for most other objects too: modthesims.info/d/670142/shiftable-everything-move-any-object-up-and-down.html
So much more elegant, spacious (and a much better USE of the space!!) for the Goths! 🥹 i loveeeee all the cc you use! It just adds such a breath of fresh air ❤ chef kiss

You've actually been a huge inspiration for me in renovating and decorating my lots in Pleasantview! :D I've never been very good at building and I only just started using build cheats and mods for decorating so I think your videos have been really helpful in getting better with that stuff! Can't wait to watch this and to see you reach 1k subscribers soon!!
Thank you so much for your support! ❤️ And I love to hear that you're finding inspiration and experimenting with your own builds. There really isn't one right or wrong way to do it, we all learn from trial and error over time~
This whole series makes me happy. You just earned a subscriber.
Aaaaa I'm so grateful and glad you're enjoying this series
You have some really beautiful CC in this build! I love all the art nouveau pieces you added in. Maxis gave us a few art nouveau pieces here and there in TS2 but not enough to do a whole build. This looks great!
Thank you, I'm glad you like the build! They gave us some decent collections, but definitely not enough to flesh out such a large lot.
Can’t wait to watch this series ❤ can get a good look to what you do with pleasant view
I love that you used some music from TS1’s Makin’ Magic EP for this video. It’s so fitting!
Hahaaha thank you, I'm glad you like it! * prays to the youtube gods they don't take down the video for this :>
There's a reason why the Goths were the promo family for Makin' Magic, it's just perfect for them and in my headcanon Bella is a witch.
Omg when the game crashed during Mortimers makeover!
A) As I was watching I kept thinking “omg your game is such high quality how does it not crash?!” - sooo that answered that 😂
and
B) The crashing sound will forever haunt me
Also, I am SO looking forward to your gameplay! If your builds are anything to go by, I can only imagine the gameplay. I’m especially excited about you going off the beaten track regarding gameplay rules etc. We need some fresh Pleasantview gameplay and ngl, I think you’re going to bring it 🙌🏼
lmfaaooo I know right? It usually crashes only after many hours of gameplay, but it's been struggling more during recording because it's running multiple heavy processes at once. I ordered a new PC I'll be paying off for a while so hopefully we'll see less crashes in upcoming videos 😅 Anyhooww, I'm much better at building when it comes to making videos because I feel nervous talking during gameplay 🥺 So I'll probably be awkward at first but I'll try my best.
My rules are: no rules 😅😅😅 I operate mostly on calculated chaos as in I have a story in mind so I won't just autoplay and let things happen. I'll fulfill wants and tweak the narrative along the way because I like it when my sims have free will to do whatever they please.
So crazy that you left those white folding chairs for the wedding haha this was beautiful!
I think of them as a temporary solution for the ceremony and I'll probably get rid of them after the wedding is done... if it happens 🙃
The amount of details ❤ so beautiful 😍 don't forget to always save while building) sending love from 🇧🇷
Thank you so much!!
I am officially a fan of yours. This is amazing. Can't wait to see what's next. Bravo
ahhh thank you ^^ I'm glad you liked this build
looking forward to your gameplay style ❤ lets go chaossss
Less than 10 minutes in but the exterior looks so good already. Love the roof details and the changes you made to the house structure. Now it really looks like the luxurious Gothic house they deserve! The original door and gate looked so sad and underwhelming. On another note the staircase you placed looks perfect for this style of house imo!. I think these Victorian houses often had stairs like that. Any time I've toured older houses the stairs were normally not super huge.
Thank youuu I'm glad you like the build!
This build is so beautiful 🤩 so much lovely cc. I’d love to see your must have/most used cc.
I made a video a couple of weeks ago where I showcase some of my favorite build/buy CC, you can look it up on the channel. Additionally, if there's anything you like in particular give me a timestamp and I'll try to find a link for you.
I'm so excited for your series! Will you be uploading the neighbourhood after you finish your work on it?
Thanks for watching!
@@bibipixels that would be so dope! Thanks for replying ☀️
In my game Alexander moved to Strangetown in hopes of finding Bella, super excited to see how your game turns out! Also would love to download this lot if possible, the cc you use is gorgeous!
I'm also thinking Alexander's alien fascination might lead him to move to Strangetown 👀 For now I probably won't be uploading these lots as they're really super CC-heavy. But I would try to find active links to specific CC you like and want to download.
@@bibipixelsNo worries! I actually spent the last couple days renovating my own Goth house as I was inspired by your video and managed to find some of your cc to re-create the sun-room at the back of the house etc :)
Slayed as always! I love ur builds
Thank you so much!!! ˃̵ᴗ˂̵ 💅✨
Oooh the sort of berry color is pretty nice on the outside! I never know what to do with Bella. I started off following BigMouth's series and having her move in with the Smiths in Strangetown at first. But I'm like now what? 😅
I'm glad you like the exterior! I'm still contemplating about Bella's story arc for this. We'll see as time goes on 👀 Thank you for watching 💗
For the sun room, you can use the greenhouse walls and roof! I just did this the other day for the Roth family is Riverblossom. You can place it on a foundation, connect directly to the base house, and place the greenhouse roof. The roof may not be the aesthetic you want, but it's an option!
Sorry had to pause the video for half the day before finishing it! Your play-through plan sounds like fun! I don't play with calculators or rigid rules either, I found that really hindered my creativity. And spreadsheet sounds like torture to me lol. Your idea of doing polls sounds really fun and interactive! Looking forward to it!
Also thank you for not using music that just continuously loops throughout the build lol, it is appreciated!
thank you for watching and all of your comments
What a beautiful renovation! Can't wait for the gameplay/chaos about to come
Thank you so much for watching, I truly appreciate it!!
WOW. this is amazing
Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
I can't wait for this to start! You said you won't be following the scripted events but will you still be doing some to just get the ball rolling? Like Cassandra marrying Done, Daniel cheating etc?
Yea, it'll be a bit of a slow burn in the beginning and I'll probably follow some of the scripted events, even though I've kind of disrupted them because I've already loaded and play tested the houses a bit during the makeovers.
It's so beautiful! It makes me breathless ❤❤
Thank youuu, I'm glad you like it
Love the replacements you have for this sims
Thank you, I'm glad you like them.
Bibi!! I saw your first video and instantly fell in love with your builds! Your Goth build is beyond amazing and you really catched their vibe💓 I only have Sims 4 (I do miss sims 2) but it inspired me to redo the neighborhoods in the game.
Keep up the beautiful and marvellous work ❤️
Hii thank you so much for watching, I'm super happy you're enjoying these videos
This is your masterpiece
Thank you! :'D
Can u pls share where you got Cassandra’s hair in the thumbnail? I only have have the super collection so I’m not sure if it came from a different pack but if it’s CC I’d love to get it!! Love this remodel xxx
Cassandra's hair is a default replacement of her original pigtails. You can get the one I use from this post, just keep in mind that it will replace the base game pigtails hair: keoni-chan.tumblr.com/post/140930857682/defaults-3-poppets-v2-colors-and-textures
Love your renovations so much!! Do you have these available for download?
No, not for now. There's too much CC and the lots have been populated, but I'm considering cleaning them up for upload in the future.
Hello Bibi!!! Greetings from Greece ❤ I’m a huge fan by the way! I wanted to ask you if there is any way you can upload somewhere your buildings in order for us to download them they are amazing ❤
Hello neighbor!! 🇧🇬❤️🇬🇷 Thank you for watching, I'm glad you like these videos~ Unfortunately I won't be uploading these lots for now, there's simply too much CC to package
Thank you for your reply!! Keep up the good work!!!!@@bibipixels
You have a lot of different windows and flooring than my Sims 2 has. I wonder why. I think I have all the expansion bags
I have all of the expansion packs + a lot of custom content installed. :)
@@bibipixels I don't know how to get custom content or where to go to get it. Can you give me any pointers?
@@CallmeCalypso I recently made a build & buy video that you can watch here: czcams.com/video/jfoKAPgXBeA/video.htmlsi=A-Nea6ri7bSiXXV7 I'm showing some of my favorite custom content objects and you will find a link in the description to all the sites where you can get extra stuff for your game.
If you are completely new to downloading and installing CC for the sims 2, I suggest also watching this guide by another sims youtuber who explains how to get started: czcams.com/video/kzD0k1yn2NM/video.html
@@bibipixels Thank you so much!
Where do you download these custom wallpapers?
Nice build, can this build be built in real life? Sims 2 has nicer graphics than Sims 4.
I want thouse dark wooden walls
which ones in particular? if you could point them out at a specific timestamp I will try to find a link for you.
Супер 👍
That's so goood! But can you please tell what cheat code you use here when you change the height of objects near walls? Or what kind of key combination?
This applies to wall hangings and shelves only I believe. You need the Apartment Life expansion pack and you use the brackets [ and ] to move objects up and down. Additionally, I recommend getting the Shiftable Everything mod, which enables the same functionality for most other objects too: modthesims.info/d/670142/shiftable-everything-move-any-object-up-and-down.html
@@bibipixels thanks a lot ♥️
So much more elegant, spacious (and a much better USE of the space!!) for the Goths! 🥹 i loveeeee all the cc you use! It just adds such a breath of fresh air ❤ chef kiss
Thank youuu, I'm glad you liked the reno!
