@@lauramoses2867 I’m on ps5, but you can change the placement tile with L2, (the left trigger on top of the controller, I think it’s the same on other consoles) also- you have to hit all the triggers on the top at once to activate the cheat menu, and I think you can’t alt place without move objects on? Let me know if you wanna know more and I hope this helps!
It took me years to get used to it. Building with cheats in previous games always seemed to break something and was more work. Everything is fairly reliable nowadays. I don't consider alt or shift to be cheats though. They both work without doing anything special.
You would have to build such a big circle that it wouldn’t even matter anymore 😂 or be normal and not torture ourselves and build normally with curved walls, instead of just making circles 💀
There are three primary locations for real-life trash cans, and none of them are in the middle of the room: next to the toilet, under a desk, and *in the counter under the kitchen sink!* Why can’t the kitchen bin go where it always goes in real life???
I also hate this. I usually use the apartment trash can chute if I need a conveniently placed trash can. It works for most builds. You just need a little available wall access. Also it works against stairs so she had the perfect place to use it in this build 😉
Painting the walls with the shift key is not a cheat because I learned(today might I add) that it actually says that in the description of each wallpaper
When i first started playing the sims i did not know how to rotate objects so any time i wanted to place an object i had to rotate the camera in the direction i wanted to place the object. It sure was a challenge.
I didn't know how to change floor levels without clicking the button in the corner and I vividly remember dragging a plate to the stairs so I could place it down stairs, clicking the button in the corner and dragging it again to the sink
@@pointlesscommentary the page up and page down keys on your keyboard are the hot keys for changing floor level. Although I think some keyboards might not have them idk
Omg same i also DIDNT know how to rotate the camera though so I had to learn that first because I came from ts3. I found they have the settings the change the camera to ts3 controls though so I use that now.

It's why the small plants work - they're short enough to go *under* the bit that sticks out. Same with the trashcan - it's too big!

Kayla really wanted us to know about corner tiles at 3:50 🥴 But seriously with how incredibly fast she puts these videos together, I'm surprised little editing mishaps don't happen more often! 💛
it’s actually common for simsie to have clips back to back of her saying the same or similar things in her videos (presumably one clip is supposed to be edited out). once you notice it, it’s really hard to ignore. i don’t know how her editors make the same mistake repeatedly and it doesn’t get picked up…
I really want to see Kayla do a challenge with each room being a disney/pixar characters. Maybe by movie, so the fist video could be princess and the frogs characters and the next episode is inside out characters. And then the exterior can reflect the whole movie.
I never use cheats when building, mainly because I don't know what 90% of them are. Then again, I rarely build a full house and usually furnish existing shells.
@@s6scha That's content though. A video where she just builds and is all happy about everything and everything perfectly works out how she envisions things would be boring. The reason sim builders do build challenges in the first place is simply for content (and I am not calling it out, it's just natural and makes sense)
The crazy assumption that someone opening the sims for the first time could do that corner roof! It took me about 6 months of gameplay and watching frame by frame TH-cam videos...
@@moraelity to resize your hold lt and rt or l2 and r2 and the same time and press the d pad one press on the right makes it large the left makes it smaller
You're so good at building. I can't build but I do like to decorate existing houses. This is cute. I suppose you can't get good at something without practice.
When I first started trying to build properly in the sims I didn't use the moveobjects cheat because I didn't want to accidentally block my sims and figured the default slots would make sure of that. After having watched simmers like you and having done more playing in things I have built myself, I can confidently use moveobjects to have more cluttered houses without worrying as much!
When Kayla said “corner piece” all of my bad 2nd grade memories came into play. It was my Mom‘s birthday and I said, “I rEaLlY hOpE i GeT a CoRnEr PiEcE” and now my siblings don’t stop making fun of me over it 💀
If I remember correctly, it’s an issue with foundation. So like if you drop the foundation you can place the plants closer then raise it back. Don’t quote me though cause I haven’t done that in forever either lol
I built like this for a very long time, no infinite money, and no cheats at all. I never had any problems. It was pretty cool until I learned about cheats today and have been making my house way better from then. So yeah, in conclusion, it's not as bad as people think it is to build without cheats. Have a good day! ❤
Not sure how I just found you, but watching you go through this was so refreshing just because I'm also a builder, and the struggle is REAL. It's just nice to hear my own thoughts out loud. I swear, it's a strange sort of builder masochism that makes us set rules that we then have to argue with. But it's fun, right? In an "I hate this, why did I do this" kind of way LOL. Thanks for your content. You may have inspired me to open the Sims again.
It is because of the foundation... if you picked one without a wood trim, you can place closer to it... (it messes with fence-gates and other things too-.-')
I have a silly idea for a video that Kayla won't see. ;w; Deliberately build and furnish a house that looks "sad" as she calls it, but then make it look _really spooky_ so that the sadness suits the house. lol
id like to see simsie make a build where she worries less about price when its not a price-based challenge. its okay to not always aim for a starter home! :)
the fact that those specific flowers are the only ones that work that close to the foundation without alt & MOO honestly explains so much about all of the OG base game landscaping...
This is literally how I build LOL. It toik me watching your videos this week for me to learn about alt-key placement! That and moveobjects are the real gamechangers for me I think
For Euro builds I go to Jessicapie and Aveline. Aveline does Scandinavian and Jessicapie does English style builds. Lilsimsie only does starter blue suburbans.
As painful and unsatisfying as this was for you, I really appreciate this challenge. As someone who doesn't know all the tips, tricks, and cheats, this was not only relatable but gave me a few ideas!
I like how kayak is telling me all these built cheats and hacks, and im listening with full focus knowing very well that I play on console, and have no need to know this information 😂😂
You have these controls on console. First to "alt place" press the upper left bumper, this will tell you in small print "Full", "Half" or "free" placment. Free placement takes the object off grid. To size up or down an object pick up and hold said object, then press and hold both L and R upper bumpers and use the directional pad up or down to resize. To use all the tile options use the directional pad left or right to rotate the floor tiles direction and or chose quarter (the Triangle shaped) floor tile option. For more controller uses press down on your left joycon to open the menu. Do this in both live mode and build mode as each has thier own control functions. These function require no cheat codes but if you wish to use cheat codes, open the cheat bar by pressing all 4 bumpers. This will give you notice that using any cheat will negate your ability to earn any future gaming achievements/trophies. So if you are going for those then Don't open the cheat bar. Once your bar is open (in the upper left screen) enter the cheat you wish to is, bb.moveojects and such. Hope this helped!
@@tabytastick omg tysm for all the controls, I knew a lot of them, but my point was that the controls on PC are completely different than the ones on consol and there's no reason for me to listen to Kayak's tutorials 😅 thank you for telling me these controls though, they actually helped 😁😁
I refused to play the sims 4 until toddlers came out 😅 and I watched your videos pretty much to help me build and basically just to get me through the day sometimes. So thank you for just being amazing and also inspiring so many simmers out there. Love ya and keep it up ❤
This is pretty much how I built for years. I knew about moveobjects but didn't use it often because of the pathing issues it creates when you don't know about alt-placing, which I had no clue you could alt-place. And now I've just learned you can do shift on the roofs.
i had no idea you could change just one side of the roof, or that you can rotate the floor, or that you can have quarter pieces, or that the underneath of stairs even existed, and i've been playing this game for years.
I would have said since the "shift to cover whole rooms" and "f for quarter tiles" are in the descriptions when you select the items, those are fair game. The house turned out cute!
Came to the comments to see if anyone else said this! I've been using shift for walls and floors since my first day playing the game, because it's right there.
I'm on console; the "cover whole room", "quarter tile", and "half tile/quarter tile/free place" functions are part of the normal noncheat interface. Don't know if "free place" works in the vertical plane bc I rarely use it anyway.
I JUST learned mods existed for this game after having played sims for years- so I got all of the basics and now im obsessed lol, got the constant move object on and cheats on, got alt move stuff, got be a pets sims, got change lots to residentual if I want cheats
I personally don't think using alt is a cheat. You don't need to put in a cheat code in the cheat bar. I get she changed her mind and wanted to only use techniques new players would know and nothing special like alt, but those are just hot keys and stuff and feel like that shouldn't have been excluded for a no-cheat challenge that it was branded as Edit: she used shift to paint the walls, using that hotkey is fine but alt isn't?
You: "Is doing X considered a cheat?" Me, a person who's played the Sims for a decade: "Hold the phone, you can do WHAT NOW?" You: "What about this trick? Is this a cheat?" Me: *Vigorously taking notes* "Triangle floor tiles......Shift key for roofs...This woman's a wizard..."
I play on PS4 so a lot of these cheats like the roof over hang one I had to figure out the equivalent to that on my controller. So it was harder for me because a lot of people don’t play on PS and it’s a pain.
@@tabytastick the square button! It’s a little bit fidgety but if you click on the Eve overhang button and then hold down square as you move it it should work!
I’m still very new to sims and I just redesigned a house and all of the frustrations make so much sense. I was having a mental breakdown and now I got some things to do for my new house 🥰
rotating floors you can use the same keys as you would with rotating furniture, so- it wouldn't be a cheat- also i had no idea about the alt roof one and the floor triangles one-
I think you can rotate flooring by dragging it in the direction you want, instead of shift-flooring the whole room. Also, probably not for *this* challenge, because it's a hotkey, but if you're just doing a no alt-placing challenge or something, f5 toggles quarter tile placement, so you could put the inside bin against the wall, have finer placement of the wall lamps, etc.

But seriously with how incredibly fast she puts these videos together, I'm surprised little editing mishaps don't happen more often! 💛
it’s actually common for simsie to have clips back to back of her saying the same or similar things in her videos (presumably one clip is supposed to be edited out). once you notice it, it’s really hard to ignore. i don’t know how her editors make the same mistake repeatedly and it doesn’t get picked up…
@@noodlerdoodler i read somewhere that it doesn't happen by accident but is an inside joke between kayla and her editor Dan
I really want to see Kayla do a challenge with each room being a disney/pixar characters. Maybe by movie, so the fist video could be princess and the frogs characters and the next episode is inside out characters. And then the exterior can reflect the whole movie.
that's a great idea, then later another one with anime too.
I never use cheats when building, mainly because I don't know what 90% of them are. Then again, I rarely build a full house and usually furnish existing shells.
My favorite pastime: watching skilled builders break down when they have to build like a new simmer :)
Someone tell simsie she doesn’t have to make starter homes all the time 😭😫😫🙏🙏
But she enjoys making these kinds of builds so thats whats important also its kinda her expertise at this point
@@unixerse297 she always gets so stressed tho :(
HEEJIN
@@s6scha That's content though. A video where she just builds and is all happy about everything and everything perfectly works out how she envisions things would be boring. The reason sim builders do build challenges in the first place is simply for content (and I am not calling it out, it's just natural and makes sense)
It’s apart of the challenge lol
The crazy assumption that someone opening the sims for the first time could do that corner roof!
It took me about 6 months of gameplay and watching frame by frame TH-cam videos...
lilsimsie: no cheats and tricks
also lilsimsie: here's a little tip...
if it's in game naturally, it's not a cheat
1:19 I NEVER KNEW YOU COULD DO THAT WITH THE ROOF, IM LITERQLLY PLAYING IN A HOUSE I NEED THAT FOR!
Thank you simsie
i loved this, i think you should make a video of trying to build on console because oh my god i’ve played on console for years and i’m still learning
as someone who never uses moveobjects or alt cheats this is always how i build and ive gotten used to it so this was really funny to watch
As a console player, this is very normal for me. Cheats on console are a pain in the ass and not really worth the effort.
The sims is the worst, i want to move to pc but i have like 16 packs and they don’t transfer and i dont want to waste my money so
I use them on console all the time
I still can’t figure out how to resize objects. Pc players are so lucky tbh, console is pretty finicky
@@moraelity to resize your hold lt and rt or l2 and r2 and the same time and press the d pad one press on the right makes it large the left makes it smaller
You have to hold down the buttons and then just press the d pad if you still need help you can goggle how to resize objects in the sims 4 on console
You're so good at building. I can't build but I do like to decorate existing houses. This is cute. I suppose you can't get good at something without practice.
Watching kayla before work is top tier happiness
I love your builds so much! I have so many downloaded. My favorites are the suburban, willow creek looking vibes like this one.
this would be impossible for me lmao i once tried to build without mods and almost cried
you can build with *MODS*?!
@@Itsetanaj better build buy, TOOL, and cc
@@tallulahbrown5864 yesss i don't use cc but better build buy and tool are a MUST
Woah I follow you on Twitter 😂
@@camelliahyacinth5926 twitter? that's my evil twin
the fact that there’s 3 sims but the couch only seats 2, the dining table inside only has 2 chairs, and the outdoor table only has 2 chairs
Honestly I think alt placing and stuff that are vanilla features shouldn’t count as cheats, but move objects and debug should definitely count
When I first started trying to build properly in the sims I didn't use the moveobjects cheat because I didn't want to accidentally block my sims and figured the default slots would make sure of that. After having watched simmers like you and having done more playing in things I have built myself, I can confidently use moveobjects to have more cluttered houses without worrying as much!
She's not using cheats AND has a budget, she really likes to get stressed hahaha, but as usual, a better and prettier house than all of mine
When Kayla said “corner piece” all of my bad 2nd grade memories came into play.
It was my Mom‘s birthday and I said, “I rEaLlY hOpE i GeT a CoRnEr PiEcE” and now my siblings don’t stop making fun of me over it 💀
If I remember correctly, it’s an issue with foundation. So like if you drop the foundation you can place the plants closer then raise it back. Don’t quote me though cause I haven’t done that in forever either lol
I built like this for a very long time, no infinite money, and no cheats at all. I never had any problems. It was pretty cool until I learned about cheats today and have been making my house way better from then.
So yeah, in conclusion, it's not as bad as people think it is to build without cheats.
Have a good day! ❤
Build challenge: build a house using the sims 4 camera setting
That's not that hard. I always do that. The only difference is you cant free rotate items.
Not sure how I just found you, but watching you go through this was so refreshing just because I'm also a builder, and the struggle is REAL. It's just nice to hear my own thoughts out loud. I swear, it's a strange sort of builder masochism that makes us set rules that we then have to argue with. But it's fun, right? In an "I hate this, why did I do this" kind of way LOL. Thanks for your content. You may have inspired me to open the Sims again.
Challenge idea: you must use every single pack in every single room :D I wanna see Kayak make a big expensive house!!
It is because of the foundation... if you picked one without a wood trim, you can place closer to it...
(it messes with fence-gates and other things too-.-')
I have a silly idea for a video that Kayla won't see. ;w;
Deliberately build and furnish a house that looks "sad" as she calls it, but then make it look _really spooky_ so that the sadness suits the house. lol
id like to see simsie make a build where she worries less about price when its not a price-based challenge. its okay to not always aim for a starter home! :)
Kayla: I won't use tips and tricks
Also Kayla: here's a trick
the fact that those specific flowers are the only ones that work that close to the foundation without alt & MOO honestly explains so much about all of the OG base game landscaping...
do this again but entirely base game 😈
This is literally how I build LOL. It toik me watching your videos this week for me to learn about alt-key placement! That and moveobjects are the real gamechangers for me I think
Could you try an European house sometime? I’m from the Netherlands and that would be really fun to watch!
For Euro builds I go to Jessicapie and Aveline. Aveline does Scandinavian and Jessicapie does English style builds. Lilsimsie only does starter blue suburbans.
@@thejompi it’s legitimately the same every time 😟
@@thejompi I would just love to see what she would make tho. Thank you for the tips 🙏🏻
@@dear_totheheart me too, wish she dropped the base game for a sec they all looked the same
As painful and unsatisfying as this was for you, I really appreciate this challenge. As someone who doesn't know all the tips, tricks, and cheats, this was not only relatable but gave me a few ideas!
I like how kayak is telling me all these built cheats and hacks, and im listening with full focus knowing very well that I play on console, and have no need to know this information 😂😂
You have these controls on console.
First to "alt place" press the upper left bumper, this will tell you in small print "Full", "Half" or "free" placment. Free placement takes the object off grid.
To size up or down an object pick up and hold said object, then press and hold both L and R upper bumpers and use the directional pad up or down to resize.
To use all the tile options use the directional pad left or right to rotate the floor tiles direction and or chose quarter (the Triangle shaped) floor tile option.
For more controller uses press down on your left joycon to open the menu. Do this in both live mode and build mode as each has thier own control functions.
These function require no cheat codes but if you wish to use cheat codes, open the cheat bar by pressing all 4 bumpers. This will give you notice that using any cheat will negate your ability to earn any future gaming achievements/trophies. So if you are going for those then Don't open the cheat bar. Once your bar is open (in the upper left screen) enter the cheat you wish to is, bb.moveojects and such.
Hope this helped!
@@tabytastick omg tysm for all the controls, I knew a lot of them, but my point was that the controls on PC are completely different than the ones on consol and there's no reason for me to listen to Kayak's tutorials 😅 thank you for telling me these controls though, they actually helped 😁😁
Alt on
Books 11:35
Fruit bowl 14:09
Tree 14:14
What a creative way to teach your viewership about the build features without making them feel bad for not already knowing!
Alt placing being so engrained that Kayla didn’t even notice she rotated the books 😆🙈. Let’s be real though they look SO much better slightly askew
11:36 you alt rotated the books!
I refused to play the sims 4 until toddlers came out 😅 and I watched your videos pretty much to help me build and basically just to get me through the day sometimes. So thank you for just being amazing and also inspiring so many simmers out there. Love ya and keep it up ❤
Speaking of the simsie household, how’s your house remodeling going? When do we get another tour
This is pretty much how I built for years. I knew about moveobjects but didn't use it often because of the pathing issues it creates when you don't know about alt-placing, which I had no clue you could alt-place. And now I've just learned you can do shift on the roofs.
Simsie:"let's make a house without cheats" also simsie:"wow this sucks" UH YEAH
i had no idea you could change just one side of the roof, or that you can rotate the floor, or that you can have quarter pieces, or that the underneath of stairs even existed, and i've been playing this game for years.
As a console player, find out how cheats work on console was the most AMAZING thing, ever. I will never go back
I would have said since the "shift to cover whole rooms" and "f for quarter tiles" are in the descriptions when you select the items, those are fair game. The house turned out cute!
Came to the comments to see if anyone else said this! I've been using shift for walls and floors since my first day playing the game, because it's right there.
I learnt that just now 😔 and I’m playing like 5 years 😢
I'm on console; the "cover whole room", "quarter tile", and "half tile/quarter tile/free place" functions are part of the normal noncheat interface. Don't know if "free place" works in the vertical plane bc I rarely use it anyway.
I've been playing Sims since basically the beginning and I just now found out about the quarter tiles thing. T_T
OMG THE SHIFT HOLDING ROOFS!! I had no idea that was a thing, I've needed that for so many of my builds D'-:
me upon seeing the title: *wait, you can build with CHEATS?!*
I JUST learned mods existed for this game after having played sims for years- so I got all of the basics and now im obsessed lol, got the constant move object on and cheats on, got alt move stuff, got be a pets sims, got change lots to residentual if I want cheats
I personally don't think using alt is a cheat. You don't need to put in a cheat code in the cheat bar. I get she changed her mind and wanted to only use techniques new players would know and nothing special like alt, but those are just hot keys and stuff and feel like that shouldn't have been excluded for a no-cheat challenge that it was branded as
Edit: she used shift to paint the walls, using that hotkey is fine but alt isn't?
You: "Is doing X considered a cheat?"
Me, a person who's played the Sims for a decade: "Hold the phone, you can do WHAT NOW?"
You: "What about this trick? Is this a cheat?"
Me: *Vigorously taking notes* "Triangle floor tiles......Shift key for roofs...This woman's a wizard..."
I play on PS4 so a lot of these cheats like the roof over hang one I had to figure out the equivalent to that on my controller. So it was harder for me because a lot of people don’t play on PS and it’s a pain.
HOW? I am on PS aswell and I would Love to edit only one side on the roof eve, could you tell me how please?
@@tabytastick the square button! It’s a little bit fidgety but if you click on the Eve overhang button and then hold down square as you move it it should work!
@@sphiiaz I'm going to try. Thank you So much, this changes Everything! Thank you 😊
@@tabytastick of course! I’m so glad I was able to help because I know what it feels like to not know what to do 😅😂
I’m still very new to sims and I just redesigned a house and all of the frustrations make so much sense. I was having a mental breakdown and now I got some things to do for my new house 🥰
simsie: lets embrace that purple
also simsie: makes green bedroom
rotating floors you can use the same keys as you would with rotating furniture, so- it wouldn't be a cheat-
also i had no idea about the alt roof one and the floor triangles one-
I think you can rotate flooring by dragging it in the direction you want, instead of shift-flooring the whole room.
Also, probably not for *this* challenge, because it's a hotkey, but if you're just doing a no alt-placing challenge or something, f5 toggles quarter tile placement, so you could put the inside bin against the wall, have finer placement of the wall lamps, etc.
