    You just gave the answers I was always curious about the sizing of object I saw in building tutorial vids!!! Thank you so much! Tbh, I hate building a house so I normally download shells. But seeing your video helps a lot I might try building one. 🎉

    Omg thank you SO MUCHHH for this!!!! It has been so difficult trying to get into building in the sims when no other youtubers talk about the hot keys they use!! I can’t express how helpful this was and now I’m actually excited to build!!

    I gave been playing the sims games since I was a little kid in the early 2000s, and I've been playing the sims 4 since the day it came out, and I NEVER KNEW most of these... thousands of hours down and I never even knew you could even press alt to place wallpaper on just one wall. Thank you sm for this video, but dang how did I not know these things 😭😭😭

    I love this video! It's so fast with all of the things it shows so there's so much in it:)
    One thing you can do if your items are clipping into your bedside table though is put a shelf that it'll snap onto at the same height as your table. Then you can drag the item over to your nightstand and get rid of the shelf:)

    Just discovered your channel, and I absolutely love your tutorials. You get right into it and explain everything clearly, quickly, and concisely. I have learned so much because I don’t feel like I have to sit through non-instructional commentary that goes on waaaaayyyy too long as many tutorials from other people do. Thank you so much!!!!!

  • @Kolyawearsheels
    @Kolyawearsheels 7 місяців тому +1

    For the plant glitching through the nightstand: you can free place a shelf at the same level as the stand and place the plant on it, remove the shelf and the plant should stay at the height of the shelf once you drag it off
