GUESS WHO FINALLY FIGURED OUT "FREE CAM" MODE IN BUILD/BUY! :D With a big shoutout to "sahm and bean" over on YouTube for creating the short little tutorial video "how to use the Sims 4 free camera in live or build mode #sims4," which has all the controls for this camera mode -- including HOW TO ROTATE THE CAMERA. Yes, I admit, I couldn't figure that out on my own -- I thought since you used WASD to move, there was a key or something to rotate! Not that you clicked the mouse so that your cursor disappeared! *sigh* I was chewing at the watermelon through the rind, sue me.

Anyway, I did figure it out, and holy shit, it's awesome. :D I never fully realized just how COOL it is to be able to tour one of your own builds as if you were one of the Sims living there! Not to mention this allowed me to get in and around and show you a bunch of stuff in the rooms with the walls up from angles that I'd never be able to get at with the regular camera! Like, it was damn near impossible to properly show off the wall decorations in the hallways and Smiler's room in the traditional camera mode because those are all interior walls with not a lot of space between them -- but in THIS mode, I can zoom around and give you a proper look! Nothing is missed out because I can't figure out how to show it properly! It's great! I wish I'd figured this out ages ago! At least I figured it out for this one --

Because I do love this house. :) I had a lot of fun building and decorating it and turning it into a place where I think my OT3 might like to live. It -- it just feels like them to me. To the ultra-colorful front foyer and living room; to the delightfully extra kitchen; to the various bathrooms with their cats and mountain-scapes (Snowy Escape was worth it just for those fun onsen tiles, I swear); to everyone's personalized rooms -- even the bedroom, which I feel is the weakest room in the house because I wasn't sure what to do with it, is cute because of the combination loft-and-double bed, and all the fun accessories and whatnot I added in. I'm glad I made it, and I'm glad I get to share it with you. :) And who knows? Maybe I WILL do the landscaping outside. Eventually. XD

#sims 4 #builds #polyheart OT3 build #also I finally understand the desire to paint ceilings!#like I never got that because I'm like 'when are you going to see them??'#here Victoria #you see them HERE #obviously I resisted the urge to paint them here because I was like 'you've DONE ENOUGH. CHILL'#but maybe if I do the landscaping I'll update those #and the lights too #add a few fun ones around the place here and there #I mean I guess we DO have some fun lights around the place #in addition to Smiler's heart sign we have the butterflies and that weird light-up tree from Dine Out #I don't know WHY that was put in the pack but it was very useful for creating a fun little scene evoking Corpse Bride behind Victor's piano #but I mean more fun ceiling lights #the saucer ones are very practical but #we can have some fun lights as a treat #but yeah I'm very happy with the house as it is right now #took a lot of doing to get here - I've been working on this for MONTHS #but the end result is worth it #and I'm very glad I did finish it in time for Valicertine's Week #should go very well with this year's Valicertines and new Not-Incorrect Quote Collection!#queued
