One of the things that The Sims Team didn’t cover that much in The Sims 4 for Xbox One / PS4 is how to resize objects in build mode.
To resize an object first you need to enter Build Mode. Then, select an object you want to resize and press L2 + R2 (PS4) / LT + RT (Xbox One) and use your D-pad (up and down buttons) to make objects bigger or smaller.
You can really go crazy with this and make objects cover up the entire lot!
Want to bring back the object to its original size or make it smaller than it actually is? Select the object that you resized and use the same tricks while pressing the D-pad down to make it smaller.
Doesn’t work on Xbox one. Just brings up search function.
I just did it on Xbox one. Follow his directions and try again. You must be in build mode.
To resize an object first you need to enter Build Mode. Then, select an object you want to resize “A” and then press and hold LT + RT at the same time, (Xbox One) and use your D-pad (up Bigger and down smaller) to make objects bigger or smaller. 🙂
thank you!!
Ty so much on the help but on mine it’s saying right is up an left is down on my dpad
Those buttons go up and downstairs on the xbox
Press left and right
Same here
It is not working for me. When I press the up and down buttons on th d pad is just move the objects higher not bigger
On the d pad you have to click the one to the right to make things bigger and the one to the left to make things smaller.
Yh, to start with, i did that but it changed the height, so you have to press the left arrow on the D-pad to make things smaller, or the right side to make things bigger! (whilst hokding RT+LT)
Omg thank you!!!
Ty it worked I’ve been looking for 2 months ur a lifesaver
It did not work I tried it loads and it does not work
Try usingnleft and right on D Pad instead… i tried for ages then done this and it worked
DOSNT WORK LYERS
for ps4 you hold down L2 + L1 and on the D-Pad you press the right button arrow thing to make the objects bigger, and the left one to make it smaller. (same thing on Xbox but you press the RT + LT obviously) hope this helps!!
It works keep holding in LT and RT at the same time and hit right to make the Item big and let to make it small. I’m doing it now. But keep holding in LT&RT as you hit left or right.
Thanks Shane. You were the only one to get this right!! Its right and left on D Pad, not up and down
Thanks! That finally works
This worked. I was using up and down.
It does for me,and I have Xbox one
Have you still got the bottom furniture up, and are you pressing the buttons for sure. Could be some issues or game is glitching out
Does not work on PS4 either.
You need to press back bumpers and the arrows facing left and right
Right = bigger i think
Left = smaller i think
DOSNT WORK LYERS
Yeah, I tried didn’t work
It didn’t work because you’re actually supposed to click on the object you bought and then hold lt and rt at the same time or l2 and r2 at the same time while using the right button on the d-pad to make it larger or using the left button to make it smaller. Hope that helped
Works for ps4, you have to hold l2 and r2 while you use ⬆️and⬇️
Does anyone know how to move an object up and down? To make like bunk beds and stuff. (PS4)
I don’t think you can do it because I searched it and nothing came up for Xbox/PS4,only pc/Mac or anything else
yes you use on ps4 bb.moveobjects on i use it but trying to get it to work.
Using PS4, does not work. It brings up search function or redo/undo. Tried in build and buy modes.
Have you tried holding down L2 & R2 while doing ➡️ or ⬅️ Instead of up and down
Keep LT + RT held down whilst pressing up
That worked but how do you move the objects up and down on Xbox
Please tell me
Ok, so how to actually do is to press left trigger and the right trigger but don’t hold once you did that exit the search bar it brings up and then you can use the up and down buttons on the d-pad while holding an object to size it up. (Only for Xbox one, but I bet with this you can figure it out with PS4 too)
Your explanation made no sense do you mind telling me again sorry 🙁
I think that on some objects it does not work cause I tried it with a toy panda and the walls just went up on stead
That make sure LITERALLY NO SENSE
Just so you know, on Xbox its left on the d-pad to shrink and right to enlarge an item while holding down the LT+RT triggers
Ok I use the PS4 and some of the instructions here didn’t work so I’ll show you what I did which made it worked. So basically I first buy the item and place it down. After that, I click the item again and later hold the L2 and R2 buttons. Remember to hold the O, L2, and R2 buttons. Lastly, while still holding the 3 buttons down, you click the left or right buttons on the d-pad, depending on whether you want to increase or decrease the size. Click the right arrow if you want to increase and the left arrow if you want to increase. Just click, don’t hold the arrow buttons. Hopefully this will work for you like it did for me!
Instead of Doing Up and Down You do Left and Right on the D-pad
It worked for me. But I had to press ⬅️ And ➡️ To change sizes
On ps4 I have found that you hold both triggers (L2&R2) then press left and right on the plus pad instead of up and down.
thanks it worked i love this cheat
im on ps4 and it wont let me make it bigger or smaller not even make it higher it ower.
Up and down didn’t work for me on the D pad, but the side to side buttons did the trick.
It doesn’t work I have an PS4 and I tried it multiple times
On the PS4, you hold R2 and L2 at the same time while holding an object in build mode to enlarge and shrink. Press the left and right and right buttons on the d-pad to shrink and enlarge respectively. Pressing up and down will move the object up and down if “bb.moveobjects on” is enabled in cheats.
Does not work at all on PS4. Holding down L2 and R2 and pressing ⬆ or ⬇ switches the floor level and ➡ just tilts the camera down so you’re literally looking down from the sky and ⬅ changes how much of the walls are visible. We’re limited to only pressing R2 to increase object’s size 4 times before it cycles back to its original size. It’s either most likely a cheat we don’t know about, or, if it did exist, was patched out of the console version.
It actually does for for me. I’m running base game though. It’s possible one of the DLCs is the reason you cannot do it. But for me it was L2+R2 held and dpad-left = decrease size or dpad-right = increase size.
Haha! It worked! Thank you so much
It doesn’t work, holding L2 and R2 only deletes the object
In xbox1 it makes the object go up and down, which was the next thing I was going to ask about.
Doesn’t work on PS4, it changes grid snapping, and the up and down arrows change levels (upstairs/downstairs).
you need to use the dpad’s left and right arrows!
Mine isent doing it
Why were u playing the sims at 5 in the morning
idk
Hi it does work on PS4 but with the arrows instead
PS4 – Hold L2+R2 while tapping either left (smaller) or right (bigger) on D pad
Hes doing it very well, thank u!
This doesn’t work for PS4, pressing R2 + L2 (even at the same time) only changes the grid and placement.
Same
It’s not working for ps4
Does not work on ps4 just brings the box up that lets you put cheats in
you have to do the testing cheats true and to go to that you have to LB LT RB RT and then type it then just hit LB while doing the side arrows☺️
Hey just wanna say that you have to press L2,R2 and the up or down button at the same time, otherwise it wont work:)
I cannot do it on PS4 it’s making me delete what I just did
I don’t know where my dpad on my controller
Instead of Doing Up and Down You do Left and Right on the D-pad
Up and down didn’t work for me on the D pad, but the side to side buttons did the trick.
