Re: is there any way i can make the walls go further than the boundries

I want to use every inch possible, but your boundary for walls and fences is 1 grid square "in" around the perimeter.  You can put other items on those perimeter squares, and even extend the footprint for a swing set, as an example, one grid square beyond the perimeter.  However, anything that extends beyond the perimeter will vanish if you place that lot down after saving the lot to your library.

    In real life you are not allowed to build all the way to the edge either and if you have neighbors I think they will object to having a swing taking some of their space.

    This is what I meant.  The swing set is still on the property, but the sims can swing over the perimeter.  It works and is there in reload...but if I save this lot to the library and place the lot, that swing will vanish.

    I love my cheats...especially with a utility bill over 300K in Summer 😉

    @Nuke615, I'm sure money cheats would be ok... I think that @jpkarlsen was talking more specifically about cheats such as "bb.moveobjects on" and others that affect placement and Build Mode actions. 😉

    In order to get the right look...the moveobject cheat can be quite invaluable.  If whatever one creates is uploaded to the gallery...the game will take care of what is not supposed to be there after that lot is placed.
