Maybe someone has posted this somewhere but darned if I could find it. I'm new to the Sims universe and have developed a real love of building/decorating but ran into a problem when positioning items on tables and other surfaces. Despite using "Alt" and the "Moveobjects" cheat items on tables, etc would still lock to the surface's grid. It drove me crazy because I wanted to put stuff where I wanted. Then I figured out a work around. First I put the surface in place. Then I put what I want to put on it on it. Finally I move the surface well out of the way and using "Alt" and "Moveobjects" I drag each object to where the surface was and position how I like. With the surface out of the way the objects use the floor grid which is much more flexible in positioning. It takes a bit of shuffling the surface back and forth to get the positioning just right but it works perfectly.
Anyway, if this is already common knowledge I apologize but I dug around for days trying to find a solution and it wasn't until I figured this out on my own that I was happy with the results.
Hoping this helps at least one other person. :)
OMG! Thank you so much for this! I've been struggling with some of my designs and creations in getting something to place exactly where I want it on a service and been searching for a solution and never thought of this!
I wanted to join two dining tables to make for a larger, more grand dining table and wanted to place a centrepiece in the middle where the two tables met and joined. Of course, regular Alt + moveobjects wouldn't let me do this. Your solution worked in a few seconds!!! Thank you! Now I want to go move around everything. hahaha
