Decorating Hacks!
Hello my fellow simming friends. :blush: In my 18 years of playing the Sims I have seen a lot of super creative decorating (and building) "hacks" in the game, on the forums, or on YouTube by such c...

Quick question. You know how in sims 4 you just hold a specific button; can't remember exactly which one it is, because I don't really play the sims 4 hardly, then you press another key while holding down the other key and you have more rotation control, you can move objects anywhere like paintings for example. You can put multiple paintings in one spot at once or even overlap objects, except I think the move objects is a cheat isn't it.
How do I do something similar in the sims 3??? I tried looking it up, but it kept giving me answers for sims 4 despite my being specific that I'm looking it up for sims 3.
To move things around without the objects snapping to the "grid" you have Moveobjects on, and use the Alt key. For better control, and to avoid objects to snap to slots on tables and shelves, you use an OMSP (One More Slot Please) Then you can adjust the exact height and rotation.
Buckley's OMSP Resizers are also handy. Sometimes an object is too big or too small, so with these resizers you can change the size of objects: https://buckleysims.tumblr.com/post/165179396007/ive-received-a-few-inquiries-about-this-recently
Tipsy OMSPs are good if you want to tip over the objects. 15º, 45º, 75º and 90º angles are available: https://modthesims.info/d/470232/tipsy-omsp.html
If a sim is moved around with Moveobjects on or put on an OMSP, remember to always remove the sim from the OMSP, and Shift-click somewhere on the lot and teleport the sim. That will resynch the sim to the "grid" in the game. If you don't, then the sim can fall off the world and enter the Twilight Zone. :)
