A short list of FAQ I receive on a regular basis.
How to place objects on an angle:
First and foremost you must have the University EP for this to work. You will need to pull up the cheat box by pressing shift+ctrl+c all at the same time. Once the box shows up type: boolprop allow45degreeangleofrotation true Please type this exactly as you see it here or it will not work. After you have typed the cheat in press the enter key on your keyboard. Now that the cheat is activated, you may choose a piece of furniture etc. that you would like to have on an angle. Go into build or buy mode and use the hand to grab hold of the item and use the < or > keys on your keyboard to rotate the item.
How do I place kitchen cabinets on angle?
This is good for when the corner of your room is at an angle.
1. You will need to pull up the cheat box and type in moveobjects on Press enter
2. Pull up the cheat box again and type in: boolprop allow45degreeangleofrotation true (note: You must have University for this cheat to work.) Press enter
3. Place all the cabinets you want around the sides of the room, leaving the corners empty.
4. Pull up the cheat box and type in: boolprop snapobjectstogrid false. Press enter
5. Choose the type of cabinet you would like and using the < > keys rotate it to get it on the angle you want. If you have typed all the cheats in as stated above, you should now be able to move the cabinet in the corner exactly where you want it. I sometimes use more than one cabinet to fill a corner to get the look I want. To turn off the cheats above, type in the opposite by changing the true to false, the false to true or the on to off.
How can I build houses like you, where did you learn?
I learned through reading tutorials and plenty of them. I used tutorials from this site (referring to the main sims 2 site) and MOD The Sims 2. You can look in my bookmarked stories and you will see that most of them are tutorials on how to create things for the sims 2. Go over to Mod The Sims 2 and they have endless tutorials on how to create EVERYTHING that has to do with the game. I also want to say I spend hours on a house over the course of usually a week or sometimes even months. I never hurry to finish a project; patience is the key.
