FAQ:
What is your reshade preset?
⁃ I usually use Blonde by largetaytertots (available for free on my patreon), but in this specific video, I am using a preset that I have not released.
What are your pc specs?
⁃ Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8-Core Processor, GPU: Nvidia 4080 Founder’s Edition, Motherboard: ProArt X670E-Creator Wifi, RAM: 64 gb, SSD: 4 tb, Monitor: Apple Studio Display. (I have a custom pc build and my specs are overkill for The Sims 4)
Will you share your mods folder for download?
⁃ No, I will never share my mods folder.
Will you upload your simself to the gallery?
⁃ No, I will never share my simself, her family, or her home to the gallery.

How did you change the apartment walls outside of the lot because I don’t know how to.
is it possible to change the outside wallpapers too? Idk how to 😅
it is really tutorial for dummies and i love it! Grat you focused only on basics, that's what i needed! Can you or anyone tell me do you guys have this problem with scaling functional objects? For example fridges are just a little too small and i would like to scale it up just a bit but then i can't use this fridge. Can't move dish there, can't click on it to choose "take leftovers" etc. Is it just me or it is common problem with functional objects?
@LargeTayterTots
3 ай бұрын
Scaling objects that are functional can cause issues! I've found it's best to leave appliances, doors, and computers as is. Scaling decor, seating, and clutter should be fine!
definitely needed this tutorial thank you Tay ❤ do you need these mods to change the lighting in your game with the color wheel? for some reason when i shift click the lights nothing pops up.
@LargeTayterTots
3 ай бұрын
Yes! In build mode, you can shift click lights and you get the option to use a color wheel to change the light color. In live mode, you can just click the light regularly and change the light color with the color wheel.

Was wondering if anyone new...Using the tool mod to scale down for example a table, do items still float on it? Like when you use the in game option. Some of the items are ridiculously large but if you scale them down you cant place items on them as that part wasnt scaled down with it. Just wondering if the tool mod would rectify this issue.
@LargeTayterTots

Yes, I believe it would float. You would have to move the objects on the table manually or elevate them with the tool mod.
