Me casually making a word document and taking notes

I have a little hack. There’s toy vehicles in the sims 4. You can size them up to be sim-sized! Sadly, the sims can’t use them but they are great for builds!!

Where was this vid when I panicked because of my lack of knowledge

For mac users, hold down "option" for anything that needs an "alt" ket :)

CHEATS & TRICKS 0:53 || ctrl + shift + c || *cheats bar* 1:01 || *move objects cheat* || 4:48 || ctrl + 9 || *raise item* 4:54 || ctrl + 0 || *lower item* 6:21 || closed bracket || *size item up* 6:24 || open bracket || *size item down* 7:27 || *placing cabinets* || 9:06 || *unlock locked items* || 10:42 || *shows items that aren’t directly in catalogue* ||

It will be awesome to see a roofing video! Or the exterior of the house would be really useful as well 👀😍

I’d love to see hear how you navigate the camera and keyboard shortcuts.

If you are using a Scandinavian keyboard you press Shift + Å to enlarge, and Shift + \ shrink.

I remember it took me ages to realize how to change the version of the cabinets. Now anytime a new cabinet is released, I get a bit excited to see what the tall cabinet looks like. 😆

Hiding those counter options is MENTAL. I've been playing years and just assumed they were cc content in peoples videos.

Been playing sims 4 for over 2 years now and I'm just finding out about the counters! I can finally make the kitchen I've always wanted. Thank you!

My dear you are a rockstar! I’ve watched so many videos on building in this game and have wondered how on earth people were doing the things they were doing. You spelled it out for everyone very clearly and presented these things in a way that people like me in the back of the class can understand them. THANK YOU!

I'm so glad you did this video. I have been wondering how to do some of that stuff. Now I'm excited to go build another house and clutter it up. I love your videos and they are so much fun to watch!

Already know all this but watching anyway. Never know might learn something! ^^

Ctrl+shift+c is the combination u need to press for the box thing (this is for my future reference

Ok wow I've been playing sims for so long and I still learned so much from this.

WHAT?! Why would they hide those cabinet/counter options?

The debug thing is super useful! I can put little details in the build and it looks really nice!

What's interesting is that I watch a lot of ts4 build videos and know all the tips, but I always manage to be inspired or learn a little twist in these tutorials. No exception here, and I love your presentation style. 👏👏👏💗

Your voice is so relaxing and calming

Thank you for showing the cabinets and how to get all the pieces!!

Best Building video ever! Finally! Someone who knows how to explain things! Thank you so mucchhhh

Oh my gooosshhh if this was here a couple months ago I wouldn’t have been frustrated so much 😂

Thank you for the shelf link! Thats gonna be a huge help for my builds! Also I just discovered your channel yesterday and I love it. You have very nice and cute builds.

thank you so much I just learned how to make better builds. I love your builds you give me inspiration to build more. the colors go so well together and the decorations that you have in your houses are amazing. you deserve way way more subscribers. I really wish I can get more packs, I have get famous, pets and get to work. I very thankful for the packs and very blessed I watch you videos, by far you and vixella is the best. you got me addicted watching you. I’ve been waiting to find a account that did speed build but talk and tells you tips and things people didn’t know about the Sims 4. thank you so much MsGryphi

why would anyone dislike this??? it's so helpful and informative!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! BEEN PLAYING FOR YEARS AND DIDNT KNOW HALF THESE TIPS & TRICKS. MY LIFE IS CHANGED!

I've been watching these "building tips" videos all evening and I have to say that yours is so much more clear than most. Many have the cursor flying everywhere, zooming in and out, the narration going off topic constantly, half completed thoughts as if the video was a rough draft. Thank you for a logical and thorough video. I was getting a headache.

If you hit control shift tab it change from sims 4 to sims 3 camera Edit: you don’t need to hold at to raise or lower items just press 9 or 0

Wow, this is the best, most clear explanation of stuff I've wanted to know for a long time!

I recently found out how to free spin objects on mac, and now I have a ton of houses with uneven objects but I really like it 😂 This kind of stuff really helps me out with my building skills lol. My most recent build got 46 downloads and I’m honestly really happy with it, as that’s the most downloads i’ve ever gotten, and it’s really amazing to me that people are using my builds a bit! ☺️💖 thank you very much for this video, it really does help!

Funny thing is, months ago I watched this video, trying to learn these build tips, but not knowing your channel. Now I found your channel again, admiring your builds and just realized you're the person that made the tutorial I watched back then.

When she edited the thumbnail tho 😂😂 with the dream home decorated pack

I can't believe I had no idea about the Debug cheat! Thank you so much for sharing tips and tricks!

The shelf alongside the cabinet is an amazing idea! So doing that in my builds from now on!

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!

Aw, that's helpful in maaaany ways I need such a tutorial 😂 Thank you so much, placing objects that free makes every thing looking a little more realistic and that's just amazing I think, so thanks for sharing 💞

Me being here just because Tonya changed the thumbnail to dream home decorated counters and cabinets

This video literally saved my life. You changed the way I approach the entire building process and those cheats (I only knew about moveobjects) helped me a lot! Today I built my favorite house of all time, thank you so much!

I stumbled upon this video searching for tips and tricks on how to build. I am SOOOOOO glad i watched this video. Very awesome info. Thank you. I am now working on an underwater home and wanted unique features. My sim is literally in love ❤💜❤

My mind was already blown and then she says “let’s get into the good stuff” 🤯🤩

Me being completely confused looking at the thumbnail because it’s the new cabinets that are probably three (?) months old but it’s an already two year old video… But it’s alright and I get the intentions ;)

Exactly what I was looking for. Rediscovered my love for the game after YEARS

I have been playing The Sims since The Sims 1. I thought I knew a good bit of the tips and tricks but boy have you taught me. You have yourself a new subscriber. I love the fact that you're not overly hype and you get straight to the point and it's valuable content

Another video!!!! thanks for the tips! on a different note, I love that you always read your comments and interact with us its lovely!!! you're the best♡♡♡♡

finally! lol I've been trying to figure out the resize thing since I started playing sims 4. ty! 🙌🏻✌🏻

THE COUNTERS AND CABINETS OMG MIND BLOWN

Omg I have been looking for so long for a video with tips on sims 4 and none of them have ever been helpful. But this video had everything! Thank you so much for sharing, your a life saver! Sims is so much more fun for me now that I have these design tips you gave! Also I love your building videos!

You can also use ALT when raising and lowering objects.

Wow the debug was so helpful!!!!🤩🤩😱😱Thank you so much!!

I can’t tell you how helpful this is! Wish I’d stumbled across this months ago because I keep watching sims builds and wondering how on Earth they’re doing half these tricks and no one actually explains them! Thank youuuuu

BLESS YOU. I've been seeing these mechanics used in a lot of build videos and I just thought I was stupid for not figuring it out. But you know, I googled it and I still didn't get any of this information! But seriously, I feel like I've reached enlightenment, my Sims 4 third eye has finally fully opened thanks to this video. Bless!

I learned a lot! been having a hard time building in years! Thank you. Now i am excited to build more!

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, 😊

I have been playing Sims for years and this video taught me new things. Thank you for showing this old dog a new trick or two.

4:48 you can also do alt instead of control I normally do alt for that Also it raises it more smoothly and you can do it absolutely everywhere so you won’t need the CC shelf thing

On my game I don't have to push control.. I just hit 9 or 0

Thank you so much for being so generous with your time and your knowledge ❤️

Thank you so much for this. I am so happy that you had showed us clueless simmers out there. This helped me so much, I really appreciate.

my jaw dropped when you started talking about debug i was so shocked to find out about it XD

I’ve been looking for a video exactly like this, thank you 😭😭

This was so useful! Thank you for this.❤️

Great explanation for all the build tricks. That darn red shelf. Lol I wish I saw this before my last build because I found out I was using it wrong and had to go back in and fix every surface I had left the shelf on. Love watching your videos and I clicked so fast on this one.

I haven't done anything with the move objects cheat, but maybe I'll start after hearing these awesome tips! Thanks! 😁👍🏻

i was today years old when i found out that if you press alt you can move the items closer together

whenever i use the debug cheat it doesn’t give me nearly as much stuff that show up for you 😕

To those who have Nordic type of keyboard the shift + [ or ] for scaling doesn't work because our 9 is on the same key as the ] is. I tested different options and at least for me those scaling keys were å and ´ (it's next to the delete-button), so hold shift + å or ´ to scale things. Damn complex keyboard :D

Playing sims now and i have to say this vid has helped me ALOT! My oh my how much fun stuff i can build now, thank youuu! 🥰🙏

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 😍🤩

Its sad because i look for the tips and found them before because i wanted to build like you and now it's to late😂😂😂

Thank you so much for the tips, I had always wondered how you made such beautiful builds! I think it'd be really cool if you had a sort of build-with-me kind of tutorial for something fairly easy and simple so viewers could follow along and be hands-on with the tricks and techniques you use :)

This vid has been very helpful. I've had the Sims 4 game for almost 2 years. Saw this video over 3 weeks ago. Thanks for these tips!

for people who use macOS, use COMMAND not ALT when youre moving the object :)

Is she a time traveler. Those cabinets in the thumbnails are from the new dream home decorator pack. Did she change the thumbnail this year or has it always been that way. This is spooky

Thank you so much for these tips! They will definitely help my builds get just a bit better ♡

This is the most helpful video I have ever watched about the sims

When you like the vid before it starts because you know it’s gonna be good 😂

When you already know these things but liked the thumbnail o

OMG the free placement with Alt and the Sims 3 camera..... 😭😭😭 Really THANK YOU !

about 9:10 , you can also use manageworlds when building, then buy the lot! But it’s helpful, especially if your sim already owns it.

The only thing I'm still wondering is how you get to colour change items when you already placed them down. How do you do that?

Thanks so much for this it helped a ton! For some reason I cant move objects up and down.. when i try to press control 9 or 0 it brings me to different floors in the house. Does anyone else have this problem

I was literally just thinking yesterday how do you guys do these things and I woke up to this in my notifications. Thanks so much! I know what I’ll be doing all day today lol.

You really opened my mind!!! It’s a long time that I try to find these things!!! Thank you so much!!! 😍The only thing is that I can’t size up and down things, it doesn't work in my computer..

The legend says that she pins the comment from her biggest fan (that’s me) Hugs from Sweden ❤️

I' struggling with walls foundations and roofs. how do you make them so smooth I add walls like a second floor to put roof but it ends up so weird and I cant move my foundations as a whole thanks you so much

Got a new keyboard and mouse for christmas. Hooked it up to my XBOX , tried this stuff and I. WAS. AMAZED. Thx

It's so useful and your accent is very clear!! Thank you for sharing!

Bb.showhiddenobjects on Thx I got it and for the people that missed it there u go

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...

This may be the best Sims tutorial I’ve encountered yet, and I’ve encountered a lot of them! Thanks so much for sharing it!

Thank you! I asked another simmer who does speed builds about that shelf and have yet to get an answer. MUCH appreciated!

Does anyone know how to raise or lower items in console version (Xbox)

What happens when you press control 9 and it doesn’t work?? (Jk I figured it out it just wasn’t working for a sec)

Omg these tips are total gamechanger for me! Thank you! Thank you!

this is exactly what i needed to hear last year 😂😂😂😂 glad someone made a video for it

when i type bb.showhiddenobjects it says “command failed” :(

What about roofing?

Ty for this! Got back into sims with all kinds of expansions & literally no idea how to do half the stuff anymore 😂 This answered most of my questions

Been using these tricks for so long and I’m still shooketh asf
