The next section in the top middle of the screen is the basic controls. This then lets you select the requirements dropdown and work towards a micro, tiny or small home. Note: The tiny living expansion also includes a dropdown for a tiny home. Lot value, which includes all of the placed objects plus the initial cost of the lot. Lot dimensions, for example, 20 x 15 tiles.

The lot type section includes a dropdown for what type of lot it is. In the lot info section, you can find all sorts of useful information regarding the current lot you are building on. We’ll first take a look at the screen UI (user interface) and then see which sections/panels do what.Īs you can see above I have pointed out the main areas or panels of the game when building. Now let’s take a look at how to build in the Sims 4. Great, we know all the necessary keys to be able to get everything done. The rest of the controls I will touch on later in this guide. Sims 4 Build Mode Controlsįirst, it might be worthwhile looking at the sims 4 hotkeys guide we did for more info on hotkeys and what they can achieve. When I first started I kind of wish I had a build mode tutorial to watch or read to help me out, so I decided to make my own! I hope this build guide helps you out with your Sims 4 creations. I’ve even done an intricate Sims 4 half-level stairs tutorial which took some thinking to work out! I can spend hours and hours building away without even playing with the Sims at all, I love it. I know some of you don’t like including real-life brands to the game, so I’m just warning you that this mod has an LG DVD player as a decorative item.Building in the Sims 4 is one of my favourite parts of the game.

It just gives you that 90s home vibe that used to be present in most older TV shows and missing from the vanilla Sims 4 game. I mean, I’ve never even had furniture like this in any of my homes, but adding to my game felt like the right thing to do. I’m not sure what is it about this mod that makes it have such a “cozy” feeling, but I’m absolutely loving it. I haven’t prioritized any particular type of room on my list, as I wanted everyone that reads this to have plenty of options to choose from.

To help with more decorating ideas I’ve organized these fantastic furniture mods that will improve the look of your dream home. But it originally took me a bit of getting used to after my original disappointment of the game not being open-world like The Sims 3(although hopefully Sims 5 gives it back). I’ve been quite attached to Sims 4 for a long time. Yet if you’re a true Sims lover you’ll know there can never be too many additions to the game – especially when it comes to stuff related to your characters or your home’s furnishings. The Sims 4 has seen a lot of addons since its release.
