Imagine this: you’ve just begun furnishing your new house and suddenly, the horror! That sofa won’t fit in front of the TV! And the bed is too big (without you)! How can this be? Or, more cleverly put, how to turn furniture in The Sims 4?

We all see you out there being frustrated, but luckily it is not a big problem. Truth be told, camera controls and the point and click commands have been a bit of a hassle ever since the beginning of Maxis long lived sim series. Who remembers trying to fight against the controls in The Sims? We have to get that Feng Shui to be just right, don’t we?

Sometimes we don’t want to activate cheats and have to climb the ladder of success for our dear Sim, starting from a small house. Hence, it is important to have all the items we need (especially those that help progress our career) in a limited space. But let us not dawdle any longer.

How to turn furniture in The Sims 4

On PC, it is straightforward: if you’re in Build/Buy mode, just click the right mouse button once the furniture you wish to rotate is selected. Keyboard shortcuts (< and >) also work. On console, you can achieve a similar effect by pressing R1 on PS4, or RB on Xbox One, to rotate clockwise. It is L1 on PS4 or LB on Xbox One to rotate the object counter-clockwise.

We are pretty sure that with these few handy tips you’ll be able to rotate objects to your heart’s content in no time, achieving that magical balance between limited space and hoarding as many useless items as you want.
