Re: Scaling/resizing objects does not work, possibly due to keyboard not having a single key for ]

Hi all,

does anyone have an idea how would the key combo go for a Croatian keyboard. I'm also struggling to make the scaling cheat work. The funny thing is that I see the [ and ] on my keyboard, under letters F and G and I can type the [ and ] characters even inside sims, but the combination of shift + altgr + G simply doesn't do the trick.

Thanx in advance.

Regards,

Lovre

    Hi,

    me again, never mind, ignore the above. I've solved the issue by switching to an English keyboard layout in windows. The ] is just one key under the eng. keyboard...Đ and now shift + Đ works.

    hope this helps someone.

    Now that sizing down is possible, and there was not a option for this on a Nordic keyboard before (we had to undo the changes with ctrl-z to resize them), I'' just post for whoever want's to know in the future, that to make objects smaller you use ctrl-´ , the button on the left to backspace.

    Nordic keyboard object resizing

    1. Sizing up: Ctrl-Å

    2. Sizing down: Crtl-´

    Happy simming!

  • I have tried every combination I could find on the internet bu nothing works for me when it comes to scaling stuff down. I have a swedish keyboard and a mac computer. The Å works for scaling stuff up but I get so jealous watching other simmers scaling stuff down to fit the room. I have tried switching to other kayboardsettings (Brittish, US, US international) but nothing happens. Am I suppose to change the settings inside the game somewhere? What am I doing wrong?

    On PC it is the key just above right of Å that scales things down.

    If that is not the case on Mac then I suggest you ask in the Sims Mac forum.

    Same keys as are used in Windows except that ctrl is not needed.
