How do i show doors in build mode ?

ok so i just bought Sims 4,

made a family, bought one of the starter homes,

now i want to move one of the doors to a better location

i can get the doors if i have full-wall mode turned on... but doing this makes it a pain in the back-side trying to see whats next to where i would place the door, they disappear when i turn half-wall mode on or invisible wall mode

but when i enter build mode to "pick up the door" it disappears....

(it was easlier in Sims 3, as the doors stayed view-able in buildmode)

what im trying to get the doors to do is

(but without having to "hold" a buy-able door to get them to appear)

when i "try" to select the gap outline in the wall where the door would be

it shows the white cube out-line, or the "remove wall/floor" option

(thats the white cube outline)

if i buy a random door and place it the doors will appear in no-wall mode BUT... if i change tab (for example switch to the tree) then go back to the doors,

the "newly placed door" disappears =/....

(thats what happens after buying a random door, before switching tabs, im after having the doors "keep" visible/ reappear like that whenever i click into the doors tab.... my guess is the same thing is going to happen with the windows too.... but i havn't even got that far yet >.<)

i hope someone can PLEASE help me out with this... i dont fancy having to delete walls and rebuild walls EVERY time i want to place/move/delete a door

,,,and ""possibly"" windows too =/

  • I had this problem too. The solution, as I figured out, is to use the sledgehammer tool on those tiny little edge thingies next to the door and it will get rid of it.  Hope this helps!

    In the game options, go to "camera view", turn on the following
    options:
    - scrolling at the edges
    - camera from The sims 3
    And you will be able to turn the wall on each side with the mouse.
    Then on the plot you lift the house walls up (top right corner of the game)
    You must also remember that the width of the door is one, two or three grids on the floor / wall and there must be a place there.
