Help with re-size key.

Hi HareHarex,

I was looking for the same info and came across your post, I searched the internet and found the following info but as yet I have not tried it in my game so I will try it and come back and let you know, then we can try work out what the same key may work on your keyboard :D

Hold down the ‘SHIFT’ key and tap ‘]’ until the object is at the size you want.

Doesn't work for me. :(

I´ve been wondering about this too. I also have a similar keyboard and haven´t managed to work it out yet.

I think then I would ask EA and see if they have any idea then :D

On my keyboard shift + are { and } respectively (it looks like those might ALT GR + 7 and ALT GR + 0 on your keyboard). At a guess, I'd say try using those? Let us know if this works.

I have a UK layout physical keyboard, which is almost the same as American's, but my keyboard language is set to Swedish. Because of that, the location of ] is different for me also, BUT I noticed that for the sims games it doesn't discriminate what the actual button does for me.

So while on the UK layout it says ] and in Swedish it says ••, the actual button does the same thing.

So, try pressing the button where ] would be for English keyboards. It's the one directly next to return and second up from the right shift key.

Hope that helps.

it is a little tricky, you must be in build mode and what i do is select/hold the object i want to increase in size, i then while holding the object select shift then + and then

Just tossing a thought here, not claiming this will work by any means,

I am assuming you use the Portuguese language option on your system by default and have not tried to switch to English or install English on your system since you already have Latin alphabet characters in your language.

Since most language packs for Windows seem to remap the keyboard (If I remember correctly from installing Spanish on my previous laptop), try to either switch to English before playing the game, or try to download and install the English Language pack for Windows and play the game after having switched the language to English (not the Windows language ofc just the temporary language option for typing).

Logically Shift + ] should work just fine after that... Logically...



Edit: If anyone does attempt this to cross-check (and I do advise that you already know how to install language packs before poking around on your pc or attempting to download any shady "supposed language pack files" from the internet) keep in mind that since your keyboard will have been remapped after switching language you'll also need to figure out where ] now is, it's very likely it might not be in the same place for both languages.

Tried before, didn't work.

You need to pickup the object in Build/Buy Mode and then press Shift + ALT GR + ]. After that you can move the object around and see the size change.
