Sadly... The Gallery can't be my bestfriend... :(
Are you having trouble with the gallery?
On topic:
- Shortcuts, if you aren't opposed to them, help a bit in build mode (example: reduce and increase object size). The best tip I found for those just starting out is to watch YT speed builds.
- When considering buying a business, keep in mind it isn't as easy as it looks, at least not for some people. Personally, running a 'family' business with just the household to get the hang of things may be your best bet, because you can't exactly control the employees and they don't always do as told.
- Filters in CAS can weed out what you don't (and do) want!
- If you have/had Sims 3 installed alongside Sims 4, there's a special table lamp you can find in Buy Mode. :)
- You can revert the camera style back to Sims 3 style in Settings or using Control + Shift + Tab.
- Need some money but don't want to start a career yet or use cheats? Have your Sim try out a new hobby like Painting/Gardening/Flower Arranging for some quick Simoleons in the process. Especially painting, because even if your Sim is sad, they can still Paint.
- Try going into First Person mode by holding Shift + Tab for a change.
- Grilled Cheese Aspiration. Enough Said.
- You can change the color of lights for a pretty cool setting.
- Clicking on a Need (the round icon, not the bar) will make your Sim do whatever is available to raise that need.
- Have your Sim get up at least an hour or two before the 'work in # hours' pops up, especially helpful if you need to get them into a certain mood.
- Activating cheats and then typing 'cas.fulleditmode' lets you edit any sim in town fully (looks, traits, relationships, clothes etc).
- Try to always buy the automatic feeder for your pets as it lasts longer. Otherwise, you may find yourself refilling the bowl a lot when you could be doing something else.
- The NanoTouch Touchless Trash Can ($1200) allows your Sim to receive $10 each time they discard something.
