I like James' voice. he always sounds like a man with a plan

Bro, this is so helpful. I have an obsession with clutter and I've been trying to add more stuff onto kitchen shelves to make kitchens feel more lively. Although this was uploaded years ago, thank you for this. ;;

When you watch this even though you don’t own sims 4 *now I have it. Black Friday for like $6

I DID NOT KNOW HOLDING SHIFT WHILE BUILDING ROOFS WOULD DO THAT, MY LIFE HAS CHANGED

Can I just just say how beautiful the editing/animations are in this video?

Why do you sound so much like Jazza?

How you make things bigger/smaller if you have a nordic keyboard: Å = bigger ' = smaller

Oh my god that "i" swoosh animation just blew my mind

I love the subtle never ending rivalry between Sim Supply and Deligracy XD

Just FYI for EUROPEAN AZERTY keyboards to scale UP it’s the ^ command and DOWN it’s the ) command 😉 Thx for the tutorial !!!! 😃

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 )

Amazing as always. Just wish we could have spiral staircases. These giant ones make my builds off.

Soooo glad I watched this! I learned 1 thing I didn't know! About removing the eaves on ONE side of the roof with the shift key.. so awesome! Thanks!

german keyboard: *ß* to scale down and *`* to scale up

He sounds like “Draw with Jazza”

Thanks ! Very useful for a Sims 4 noob. I was a Sims 3 die-hard, but just recently picked up 4 + 2 expansions in the sales. Baffled myself... i'm actually loving it ! The game runs so flippin smooth. Still very hard for me to leave Sims 3 completely

I love that everyone with different keyboards are helping each other out! Love this community!

I can't believe that this tutorial is 3 years old and still told me a few things I didn't know so far. Thank you so much for this! And I'll check out your other videos immediately

Getting back into the sims after a long while, and as far as an "advertisement" goes, this video is amazing. I learned some new things with this and will be sure to check out your other videos! Thank you.

FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WITH A DANISH KEYBOARD! You Can scale objects up on Å and scale Them Down on the button above Å

Anyone else here that knew all these tricks already but just likes watching James videos? or is it just me haha

With this one tutorial, I feel like I can really start building my own stuff. Loved it! Can't wait to see more!!

Oh my goshh thankyouuu!! I've been looking sooo long for a video like this, just to explain how everyone is doing that. And you're finally the one to do it!! Thankyouuu

This is the most professional and well put together building tutorial I've ever seen. Bravo James!!! Very handy to have. I'm saving this for later reference :)

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!

OMG James you are the BEST!! I never ever saw how you can change the color on objects without having to remove it and place it again in another color. U MADE MY DAY! 🤗

I love the fact that your video gives me a lot of information on different keys and placements. There's things I didn't know how to use and I am all about the shortcuts. Thanks for making this video!

James shold do a house for a giant. It doesnt have to be useable xD just for fun.

Scaling for German QWERTZ-Users are the ß and ´ keys.

This is the best video ever. I watched it when it first came out and I've been coming back to refresh my memory ever since. This really is so good and useful thank you so much for making it

me: discovers this video and then looks at whole playlist me: pulls out pen and block of paper like I'm sitting in a lecture hall *frantic scribbling*

this has to be the most helpful sims video ive ever seen

the rotating floor thing was there since sims 2 :D It surprises me, that so many people did not know about it. I just thought "Hey, can I rotate these too? Yepp"

I didn't realize how much I needed this video. Thank you!!!

I have been playing the sims for many years, and when watching this.. I can't believe this .. thanks for sharing all this! 💕

last time I was this early this type of comment was original

Thank you Building Jesus for the knowledge

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! These little shortcuts and commands are going to let me have a lot more freedom in my builds now, thanks so much!

I'm probably super late but on a Spanish keyboard, you use the "?" and "¿" keys to scale things up and down, it took me ages to figure it out, so there you go

I can watch your videos for hours! ilysm❤️😊

This is amazing! It seems like your editing skills has flourished!

Thanks so much the roofing part really helped because i was having a lot of trouble in roofing. The diagonal tiles also really helped, so again thanks 😊

This was amazingly helpful. I've been struggling with a few moving things and house building since I got the game a week ago so thanks a bunch!!!

Been watching your vids for ages but still learned a new trick from this vid. Didn't know you could change the eaves on only one side of the roof at a time.

i didnt know they would jump up into the beds like that. im so excited now.

Omg!! Thank you this was soooo helpful because I only knew a few cheats and I was wondering how you did the others. I just subbed to you!! Thanks!! 💖💖💖

For Norwegian keyboards scaling is; Alt + Å to increase the size and Alt + ` to decrease the size.

!!On swedish keybords you use the Å key to scale up!!

This video was very nicely done! Great job!

This helped me SO much! I watched for the roofing, and I’ll watch your roofing video too. Thank you!!!

Most helpful cheat and build video I've seen! 👍👍👍 Thanks so much!!!

On German keyboards you can use ß and ´ for scaling objects

NOW I FINALLY KNOW HOW TO PLACE DIAGONAL TILES OMG THANK YOU😂😂😭

Your videos are so great. I love building houses in Sims 4 and I always struggle with the exterior so this helps give me ideas. Thanks for building such beautiful homes 😁

James: If you hold the shift key while selecting the roof eave, you can size down one side Me: Surprised Pikachu

This is an amazing tutorial! I definitely didn't know about rotating floors!

I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS OMG TYSM! I was looking how to make the furniture move freely!

A little late but this was SO helpful. I had many questions on how to move object a certain way and I’m so glad I came across this. Thanks James👍

This was so helpful, thank you! I’ve been playing sims since sims 2 and never learned anything for building, I just got into building recently

ctrl shift tab = change between sims 4 and sims 3 camera mode :)

OMMMGGG I ALWAYS WONDERED WHY THE 9 KEY MADE MY CAMERA JUMP. Also 7 million simoleons haha. You make a little box and it looks amazing wth. Don't throw shade on my girl Deli! :D

that shift key and the roof just made me so happy omg i didn't know that existed and it's so cool thank you

I've been playing Sims 4 for about 2 years now and I didn't even know you could do this Tnx so much you really helped me a lot with this keep it up

*has had sims 4 for two years and already knows all these things* and I still watch the video anyway 😂

lol I am at my mom's work today and I've been watching your videos the entire time :D They're really entertaining

This video helps a lot! I was getting confused moving from sims 3 to sims 4 as theres so much more that you can do

Such a great discovery for me! I love all your cheats and tricks. Thank you !!!!!

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.

This is very helpful! I know, I sound cheesy, but it actually really is!

Excellent video! Completely refreshed my mind AND taught me some things. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for posting this - literally sooo helpful lol and love your sims 2 videos too

I know i am late to know this, but i wanna say Thank you so much about your video. :)

Yasssss thank you, was looking for this so longggg, btw ALT on Mac is option for the Mac users

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! For providing captions! Really appreciate it.

These are the best tricks I've ever seen. I haven't seen such on my country's language. So I happy to find your cheats :)

Hi you all swedish, german, or whatever forgein country you are from. 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. 😊

This is easily the most helpful video I've ever watched holy shit thanks!

Thank you!!! Been looking for so long for these cheats! 🙏❤️

ive been so frustrated lately after getting the sims 4 game after watching so many lps to try and figure out how to do that thing that you did with the alt key you literally just helped me with my biggest question ive had for the sims 4 since I got it. thank you

I recently got the sims 4 game and this was very helpful 👍🏼

Wow, this video was incredible! I definitely feel way less scared trying to build a house.. Haha.

Great basic house building tips. Thank you so much

This video was SOOOO helpful! Thank you so much

Me: wow that looks better than anything I’ve spent hours trying to build James: so this doesn’t look great Me: oh ok

On Portuguese keyboards it's the the "?" and ">>" keys after the 0, above the letters and to the left of Backspace. Para teclados portugueses, são as teclas "?" e ">>" que estão depois do 0, acima das letras e à esquerda do botão de Apagar :)

i'm only halfway through this video and it's already helped me so much!! ty

I’ve been building on sims 4 for over a year now but nonetheless I’m always looking to expand techniques and styles and am soooooo grateful for the flooring tile tip

Omg thank you so much❤️ This video help me very well to play sims❤️❤️ ....sorry, I’m not good for english :(.....

Very useful thx. You just gained a subscriber.

This is so appreciated!! I love your builds!

This video helped me a lot! Tysm James

Can you do a housebuild where all the walls/ceilings/floors are glass ? (using the get together dancefloors and full length windows) I think it will look extremely modern and cool ! 😀😀

To do the Alt rotate you need sims 3 cam.

I have been playing Sims since it started and have only seen 4 Minutes of this film so far and I have discovered so much I didn’t know !

Thank you sooo much! I struggle with roofs so much so this was amazing help!

To make objects bigger and smaller on the Croatian keyboard you need to use the buttons Š and Đ.

On my swedish keyboard it's the Å and ´ key to scale items :)

This was extremely helpful!! Thanks for making this!

The first one is just what I was looking for! Thank you!!!
