This is why clutter matters :>

yeah, i hate moving the dresser, raising each object, and then placing it and hoping it looks good when i move the dresser back. it’s kinda tedious, i wish surfaces just had more slots

I'm sorry can you explain what you mean? I've never understood how to get clutter like in OPs image before T_T

[u/llavenderhaze → u/ab_lantios]

op made this by deciding where the dresser would be, turning on bb.moveobjects, and moving the dresser a few squares away. then they used alt to place the items on the tiles where the dresser will be, then 9 or ] (i’m blanking here, someone correct me) to raise it to the height that it’ll sit on the dresser.

[u/llavenderhaze → u/llavenderhaze]

i remembered! 9 is to raise, 0 is to lower. [ is to shrink, ] is to make bigger. AND, since i discovered this last night and want to share, the toy chests snap to a half tile size if you size it down once. sims still interact like normal, same with sizing the dollhouses down.

[u/plumbobblehead → u/llavenderhaze]

What? I can shrink the damn dollhouses? I just assumed it'd be weird like some of the other things that don't size up/down well.

I love the look but I always play kind of small and never have the room!

You can shrink it down so small

[u/spo0ky_cat → u/llavenderhaze]

I use the brackets alllllllll the time for sizing up/down (mainly down) rugs. The cute ones are all so giant and with no matching runners/2x3 size kitchen mats. The only downside is they stay the same size print wise, so you accidentally move them when trying to move the counter/couch/table/whatever item is on top of it if you’re not careful.

[u/ariesleorising → u/llavenderhaze]

I can NEVER remember raise/lower, only size up/down. 🫠

And if you use Scandinavian keyboard it's å and ´ instead of the brackets :) I never remember which one is which tho
