BUILD CHEATS I USE
bb.moveobjects: Enables you to place items off the grid. I use this along with the āALTā key when placing objects
bb.showhiddenobjects: Shows debug items
bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement: Unlocks career items
āShift + ]ā and āShift + [ā: Increase and decrease object sizes (I rarely use this cheat)
ROOM SIZEĀ
The only thing that differentiates a big house to a small house is the sizes of each room and the amount of rooms
When building a house, I usually have the front door lead into the living room
I place the front door as well as windows wherever I like (you can always move them later)
FURNITURE SPACING
I like to place basic items that go in each room to make sure I have space for everything
If there isnāt enough space for the furniture, make the room bigger! :)
Since this is a house for a large number of sims, Iāve used a 3 seater couch as well as a 2 seater
I like my staircases to be in the living room but you can also make a separate room for it
The next thing I do is add on another room for the kitchen/diningĀ
I used an arch way instead of a door but a door works as wellĀ
I like my dining room to be in the same room as the kitchen but you can also separate the two rooms
FURNITURE SIZESĀ
Similar to the living room couches, youād most likely pick a large dining table to be able to seat all the sims living in the house
Again, if there isnāt enough space for the furniture, make the room bigger (:Ā
DECORATINGĀ
The most important thing is to get the sizing and basic furniture (couches, dining tables etc) down before you start decoratingĀ
If youāre anything like me, you probably want to start adding as much clutter as possible but if you do that first, youāll find you donāt have any space for the important stuffĀ
When everything has itās place, begin decorating and filling up any extra space you donāt like
