How to move objects up and down in Sims 4

Moving objects freely upward or downward can quickly make your build in The Sims 4 pop. If you're new to building, you might not know how to do this cheat. Luckily, it's quick and easy to learn.

What controls to use to move objects up and down in Sims 4

First, prepare the Build/Buy mode by bringing up the Cheat Command Box using Ctrl + Shift + C. Type testingcheats true, hit enter, then do the same, but with bb.moveobjects on. To move items up and down within Build/Buy mode in The Sims 4, hold Ctrl while you use the 0 key to make the object go lower and the 9 key to make the object go higher.

What to do if the up and down controls are not working in The Sims 4

Sometimes, the controls do not work for players, and the object just sits there without budging. Here's what you should try if the up/down controls are not working for your object:

• Make sure you have bb.moveobjects on (the building cheat) active so that items can move freely.
• If you're on Mac, try holding down Command instead of Ctrl while you hit 0 or 9. Some Mac users find this works for them.
• Some items cannot be moved up and down, so this could be the ultimate issue.
