How to Make the Most of Resizing Objects!

Now that you know how to scale objects, you might be wondering why you need to make an object larger or smaller in the first place! Of course, there are extreme examples. Theoretically, you could make the tiniest teddy bear ever and hide it somewhere in a build just for fun. You could also make a really massive teddy bear that takes up a whole lot just for the amusement of it, but there are definitely more practical uses for this cheat, too.

For example, if you didn’t feel like using the bb.showhiddenobjects and bb.showliveeditobjects cheats to find full-size cars to put in the garage or driveway, you could just grab a toy car from the kids’ décor section and size it up to a full-size vehicle! You’ll sacrifice some texture quality this way; the larger you make an object, the more stretched its texture becomes, but it’s definitely an option!

On the other hand, you could scale objects down to fit nicely as a decorative accent in a home. The more packs you own, the more options you’ll have when it comes to scaling objects in order to expand your decorating skills. For example, you can scale down the My Wedding Stories canopy to fit perfectly above an infant crib for a delicate and sweet touch to a nursery.

There are many more ways to implement the scale objects cheat into your builds so get creative with it and experiment with what you can achieve!
