Sims 4: The best tips for build mode

In this practical tip, we show you the best tips for the construction mode in "The Sims 4". The build mode is very different from that in the previous games, so you should pay attention to a few things.

You should pay attention to this in construction mode in "The Sims 4"

Before you build a house, you need a vacant lot. Buy one or tear down an existing one. Before you make any decisions, it is worthwhile to first think about the building object. Ask yourself what you would like to have, what fits your Sim, and whether you have enough money at all.

• Then plan the foundation and then the walls. You can also start with the walls without building a foundation.
• With the Sims 4, there are ready rooms available for this purpose, which can also be furnished immediately on request. You can also build your own rooms. Take individual walls or finished rooms.
• Rooms and objects can be moved using the arrow cross and rotated using the curved arrows. The rooms can be dragged accordingly. To do this, use the arrow keys and drag a room according to size or size.
• It makes most sense to lower the walls in construction mode, because this way you have the best overview. If you want to remove a room, mark it with a click and then press the "Delete" key. The money will of course be credited back to you.
• Rooms and objects can be moved using the arrow cross and rotated using the curved arrows. If you no longer need a room, select it with a click and then press the "Delete" key to delete the room. The money will of course be credited back to you.

The rooms adapt automatically

A highlight of the Sims 4 is that the rooms can be individually adapted.

• All you have to do is move the rooms according to your wishes. The furniture moves along and walls that have already been set disappear again if you place another room above them. So everything adapts exactly as you wish.
• If there are objects in the way, this is not a problem, because they disappear or are reset.

Personalize house in construction mode

With the Sims 4 you have many options to personalize your home.

• For example, choose wallpaper in your favorite color and the matching flooring. An innovation is that you can select wallpapers in construction mode according to rooms.
• This means that this wallpaper will then be distributed throughout the room. But you can also switch to the well-known model and attach the wallpaper individually. The same also applies to the floor covering.
• The roof and the chimney shouldn't be missing either. You can place the chimney anywhere - even if you don't have a fireplace. Also, don't forget to install windows and doors and keep in mind that the windows can also be set at different heights or depths.

Build mode on the Sims 4: These tips will help

It is best if you discover the redesigned mode yourself. Try something different and create your own personal home.

• To know what the house looks like during the day or at night, you can change the time of day in construction mode. This is particularly useful if you are building a house during the day, but want to know whether there are enough lamps for the night.
• Unlike the predecessors, you can search for 4 objects on the Sims. Take advantage of this and get to the desired object faster.

Property features through the Sims extension "Big City Life"

In construction mode, you have been able to define various plot properties since the "Big City Life" add-on. These help your Sims, for example, to complete various tasks faster or better.

• Depending on which add-ons you have, different features are available. So there are some features for all players of "The Sims 4", others are only available with the appropriate expansion.
• In addition to "good schools" and "great acoustics", the characteristics "imp" and "miracle coins" are also available. You can use it to design each house or apartment individually.
• Each residential plot can have up to three characteristics. You do not have to forgive unless these are already specified. Then it may be that you can no longer remove the defined property characteristics. Otherwise, the features can be changed at any time and integrated into the game.
• To define or change a property characteristic, call up the construction mode and select the property information in the top left. Under "Features", click on one of the three questions and choose the feature that you like best. The selection is saved automatically.
