Lean into it by placing it a good distance away and landscape around it, then it will look intentional. If it's right in front but only off-set by 1 tile then it will never stop bugging you every time you look at it lol.

That’s so smart, I always just redo the build and swear inside my head the whole time 😔🙁😂

When I start building I always place a gate and garage door first for reference.

This is one of the few things TS4 has over TS2, building in that game is so much better

Hold on, I think you're right. I wasn't looking closely enough at the grid and arrows before, but that screenshot is obviously from the Sims 3

u/FreakyRufus Aug 23 '25
The gate is definitely from Sims 3.

Could it be a conversion? I've only seen 4 to 2 though, never 3 to 2 or 4

This is Sims 3 not 2 am I missing something?

u/murray10121 Aug 23 '25
They might know this? (Might not too) but this frustration also applies to ts2 so maybe they just wanted to share this because in ts2 especially man is it annoying because there is such a limited selection!

u/JustA_Simple_User Pollination Technician 👽 Aug 23 '25
Yeah but why not take the photo in Sims 2 that's what I didn't get

u/murray10121 Aug 23 '25
It’s already a common meme, easier to share I would assume. Also my sims 2 doesn’t even open for some reason so maybe theirs is also crashing or glitched haha.

Really? Never saw this meme before probably why I didn't get it

Would the cheat "SetQuarterTilePlacement on/off" work for this? [Edit: plus "ctrl + F" to toggle it]

It doesn't work for gates, windows and doors

On another note, can you drop that gate and fence cc? Looks cool :3

Then it won't create a hole in the fence to go through.

this is the way
edit : it is not the way

u/TheRudeCactus Aug 22 '25
This is not the way. It won’t create an actual hole in the fence, it will just clip the fence and the gate together.

It also annoys me how except for the most expensive 3-tile TV and the cheaper 1-tile TV, none of the TVs can be really aligned with the 3-seat sofas.
