Freeform placement and rotation "ALT" not working

anyone having issues with the freeform placement in creating a house? I don't want my objects to snap to the grid so I can center them. The game guide mentioned to hold down the ALT key using the hand tool and objects won't stick to the grid or snap in place during rotation. However, it's not working for me.

Any ideas?? Thanks!

  • Thanks, I tried it and it didn't work. It's still snapping to the grid for some reason.
  • okay, it works! However, it doesn't work on windows or doors, only objects. Bummer, cuz I really want to use a double door without making my wall longer to center it.

    @ashmn1024, not too sure what Sims game you're playing, so I'm going to lave these 2 links here for you to post your issue in another thread since the people in this thread haven't visited this site yet. And if it is TS4 you're playing, then you might be better off asking in a TS4 thread as this is an old TS3 thread from 2009.

    And for anyone who may have any issues with either TS3 or TS4, these are links for New Members to post their issues in.

    Thanks for sharing those links @lisasc360. @ashmn1024 the links above connect to two threads that would be a good place to receive advice on game issues, maybe pop into one of those threads with some specifics on what you've tried already. In the meantime I'll close this discussion as it's been necro'd a tad.
