Please bring back the wall view from TS3

I don't know if the people already requested this but can you DEVS please bring back the Wall View from TS3?

I mean what's the point of the wall decocrations if you can't even see it?

If you set the "Walls Up View" [IMG 3]. You can use the full view but like what theck? How will you see the other side if its in full view. (This building is from San Myshuno Apartments btw)


In TS3 you can see the wall depending on the camera position is or where the Sim is standing. Now if you want to see your sim [IMG 2], you have to see all the way through to another room's wall.

I understand that you can just made the room bigger but what's the point the tall walls anyway if that is the solution?

Actually this simple thing made me quit and return back to see if they already added the feature from the TS3. But still nothing...


If anyone knows a mod/setting that add something like this, can anyone tell me.

This is just a minor feature sooo please... bring it back.

    @gelophee05 I agree.

    Would be a good to have an in-between Wall Mode option to view interior walls when in Cutaway mode.

    1. Walls UP
    2. Cutaway UP - REQUEST interior walls between rooms are visible
    3. Cutaway DOWN
    4. Walls DOWN

    A workaround is to use half-walls at their tallest height for interior walls. Half-walls always stay up when in Cutaway or Walls Down mode.

    Of course, Sims are notorious for putting plates and empty water glasses on half-walls. I know there are a couple of Half-Wall Trims in Get Famous and Dine Out that prevent plate dumping on half-walls. Would be nice to have a new plate-resistant Half-Wall Trim for Base Game if we're to use half-walls as an interior wall alternative.

  • LittleMsSam has a mod that makes more stuff visible. Not perfect, but might make it a bit better for you. 

    I had it a while back, but it makes everything cc so I had to remove it so I could upload my builds to the gallery, so I can’t remember which objects it works on and which it doesn’t.
