Cheats Guide Suggestion: Building Cheats List
« on: October 08, 2010, 06:49:46 AM »
Hi, I was wondering whether you could put the building cheats under a subheading under the Cheats section of the Guide. It would be really helpful for Sim builders needing a quick reference on what cheat to use and how to use it, without needing to search things up on Google.
Here are some building cheats:

moveobjects on/off
Place an object anywhere you like.

constrainfloorelevation true/false
Constrainfloorelevation false activates the cheat, constrainfloorelevation true disables the cheat. You can change the heights of the terrain or walls with no limitations with this cheat.

placeFriezes on/off
This has been added with the Ambitions expansion pack I THINK, or with the patch that came with it.  It allows you to put foundations on top of tiled floors.

Also, while placing an item, if you hold ALT, the items don't go automatically to the slot square thing, you can move the objects around and rotate it around with more freedom.


Sorry for my terrible explaining skills. I'm twelve and sometimes I just can't think of a word that fits it.  :(

Chocolatee you did an excellent job of explaining.  Welcome to the forum, if I haven't said so before.  (Or even if I have!)  Here's another one:

disableSnappingToSlotson Alt (on/off)  It makes it so your items you want to place don't automatically snap into a certain slot.
What?  Grannies can't play games?
I speak perfect Nooblik, (and some Simlish)!

Thank you, ladies. I'm moving this to the Guide Suggestion board because Carl will see your ideas there. I'm also editing the thread title to flag him.

EDIT: Oh, I see that wild actually moved the thread originally to the Building board.

@Wild, Carl will definitely have a better chance of seeing the suggestion at this Board I think.

I noticed that you do not have to enable that cheat to make it work, in my game that is.  When I want to place something I just hold ALT down and it works.  When I first saw the cheat and typed it in it worked.  But another time I did not type in the cheat and held ALT, and it worked. 
Ignorance is not an excuse, please read the forum rules.

Yeah, thats what I meant about the second last paragraph.  ;D
And yes, I think you have welcomed me, but thanks again.

Wow, I feel so special. Contributing to make a difference. :)

No problem.  :)
I like building, and I wanted to share these cheats to help make other houses more awesome.
