How to Rotate Items on PC in Sims 4

To do a normal snap rotation on a PC, choose the furniture from the catalog, then right-click. Additionally, you may rotate items clockwise or counterclockwise by using the full stop (“>”) or comma keys (“<“).

Regardless of the build mode spaces, free or smooth rotation of an object will enable more accurate rotation of items. To use the old-school Sims 3 camera controls, open your game’s settings menu, click game camera, and then choose that option (or use the keyboard shortcut CTRL + Shift + Tab).

You can now rotate an item by clicking on it, holding down the ALT key as you left-click, and then dragging your mouse in whatever direction you desire. However, placing an object in a tiny bedroom, especially a bigger one like a double bed, may be challenging if done in this manner. It is more a matter of preference which technique you use.
