Here's my list of secret The Sims 3 tips and tricks.

I'm so glad the Sims 3 community is still active! I've been playing this game since 2009 and I still manage to learn a lot!
Thanks a lot for your last two videos! They are really nice to listen to, the editing is great and I can't wait to see the next ones (if there are any planned)

Oh and by the way, can I ask you if you have the reference of the loading screen that we can see at 0:14? It's beautiful :)

Sims 4 could never be as amazing as sims 3🥺❤

some of these secrets made my jaw drop. i've been playing sims 3 since the day the base game released all the way back in 2009 and i had no idea about some of these. the low foundation one in particular is going to be a game changer, i've been using platforms as low platforms for YEARS! and the disabling object fade cheat is so great, i've always hated how some things disappear on me when i get too close! thank you for this video <3

Still playing the sims 3 upto this day. I am almost 27 and i grew up with the sims 2 at first and when the sims 3 came out i was skeptic. Later on i had a stupid moment and got sold all of my sims 2 (i needed money). Nowadays i am soooo sad i sold all of those 😭 i am seeint so many videos of features and facts i never knew about as a kid!

I always wondered why creat a style tool was so dang laggy when switching between modes. That makes a ton more sense now actually that it has so many hidden drag and drop features 😅

Definitely not enough people know that pressing F10 hides the whole interface, so you can record landscapes without any notifications interrupting the view! And also still use the mouse in no-interface view without Tab.
The number of things given to a Sim, changing edge colors and rotating camera on Tab was a wow to me :O

Clicking on moodlet is a game changer, especially if you have two story house. Thanks for the tip.

Listen ive been playing sims 3 probably since the year it came out and knew NOTHING about some of these tricks. THANK YOU! *subscribed*

I am a hardcore Sims 2 fan but I have played Sims 3 a bit too and wow I am just floored! They added sooo many amazing hotkeys and easy ways to use build/buy. Absolutely love that you can drag and drop styles like that, wow! Awesome video, really enjoyed this!

Aww, the sims 3 community is so cozy!

The 'Create A Sim' for a newborn doesn't pop up for me, and it never has in all the years i've been playing :(

About the foundation trick, there is a similar trick that would let you raise the terrain at a desired height relative to wall height. If you raise the terrain between two rooms, you can use the flatten tool on the roof level of the rooms and the terrain will be at wall height, minus the height of an alt-placed foundation or platform. From there, you can change the height of the terrain by placing stairs.
Holding shift and dragging when placing stairs on terrain let you choose how shallow or steep the steps is. Also, holding alt while placing stairs let you place 1 single step.
Bonus for CAW users: Do you know that you can use the flatten tool to match the terrain height of a lot to your world?

[alyssahilary]

Some of these I've known since the game came out, but there were some that blew my mind and will be a gamechanger, for sure!

Наконец-то я узнала, почему глючат эти лестницы!
Огромнейшее спасибо!!! 💋

The inventory shift to choose how many to transfer is a sanity saver! Thank-you so much!
