About a week ago, the ability to alt place objects straight disappeared from my game. I've tried everything i can think of to trouble shoot it, including deleting the entire game and re-installing. Alt-placing just doesn't exist anymore for me, and i have NO idea why.
Playing on Mac, Origin, Sims 4. Am using testingcheats on and bb.moveobects, then alt place. Not working, like it never was an option. HELPPPPPP
@MiceWantPants , hi! You accidentally posted your thread in the wrong section. I'm going to have it moved to the Sims 4 Mac section.
I dont know how re-mapping keys works but I have deleted all mods and saves, uninstalled the game, deleted origin, and redownloaded everything with a fresh completely empty game. Still nothing. To the point where i was convinced I was just stupid and doing it wrong, but I've watched the "how to alt place videos" and it just straight doesn't work at all. I only have 1 "alt" key on my keyboard (the option key for mac) but I've also gone into crazy mode and attempted every key possible in case i did re-map the keys somehow. 9 and 0 still work to lower and raise objects but i can't free place anything.
Version 10.14.6. I did try repairing the game, did nothing, then i uninstalled and reinstalled it, I guess I'll try to repair it again? The thing is, i literally just use my laptop for Sims and Netflix, so I honestly can't think of anything that could effect the keyboard, i don't really have many apps. Is there anything i can do to override it, if that is the case, but i can't figure out what random app is doing it? Like a factory reset of the Sims, or even my computer's settings?
You can check your Keyboard settings in System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys:
If you have access to an external keyboard it would be good to plug it in/bluetooth it to test the Alt key in-game.
Mine it's a windows and doesn't work as well ☹️
