Re: Can't freely rotate objects- MAC

it doesn’t work. Holding down Alt and only makes it so you can PLACE it anywhere. Not turn it to whatever angle. This really annoys me when someone tells you it’s something but it’s not. I need to know ASAP what they let us because I’m building a house for my friend for her YouTube series 😖

    It should work to free rotate the object, it certainly does for most people. Sometimes 3rd party screenshot or video capture software installed on your Mac can interfere with the Mac keys. Or changing the Modifier keys in System Preferences. Or having a sticky Alt key, do you have a second one you can try on the other side of the space bar? Can you try another keyboard?

    @EBW70025042 you have to hold alt and PRESS the trackpad/Mousebutton. If you just hold alt it only moves free from the grid, if you press trackpad/Mousebutton you can rotate, works only in "The Sims 3 Kamera"-Setting

    It only worked for me when I was in sims 3 camera mode during build mode, I know it’s late but I hope it helps for somebody else!
