The 45 Degrees Cheat:

This cheat only works if you have University installed.

Open the cheat box and type

boolprop Allow45degreeAngleOfRotation true

Once you have that, when you place your object, before letting go, use the < and > keys. You will find that if you press one of those while holding your object it will turn. When you have it at the angle you want, drop it in place and let go. 

Some things don't work at 45º, because of the way Sims 2 is made. All objects in 45* are really placed on a 1X1 grid. The Sims can and will walk through them, which looks very strange, and sometimes they will not be able to USE items placed at 45º.

What will and wont work when at 45*? 

You will probably need to experiment. Here are the results of some experiments done already...

• Seating
  • All dining chairs work
  • Living chairs
    • Mr bearlybutts will not work.
  • Recliners - some work.
  • Sofas all sofas can be used for sitting and sleeping BUT at this angle may not be played on.
• Beds - seem to only work for relaxing.
• Tables do work, but have a smaller space. ie, 3 length fits two instead
  • End Tables work
  • Coffee Tables work
  • Desks do not work
• Kitchen counters do not work
• Miscellaneous
