OffGrid

If you look at the game in Build Mode it is very obvious that the whole thing is designed on a grid. Objects are designed to sit in the centre of the grid squares.

However there is a cheat to turn off the grid and place things slightly to the edges of the tiles.  This does NOT work for doors and windows. They will not work with the grid off. Pity...

The grid toggles with the following commands typed into the Cheat Box:

• To turn it on --> boolProp snapObjectsToGrid true (=grid on, normal gameplay state, doors and windows work)
• To turn it off -> boolProp snapObjectsToGrid false (= grid off, you can move some objects off-grid.)

This cheat is useful for things like placing columns closer to (or in) fences and walls. It will not interfere with your game, and objects that have once been shifted off the grid will not slip back to their old positions if you experiment with this cheat.

Quartergrid

setQuarterTilePlacement on turn it off with setQuarterTilePlacementoff
After entering this cheat you can turn quarter tile placement on and off using “Ctrl + F” anytime you are in Build or Buy Mode.

Quarter Tile Placement allows you to place objects offset from the grid in quarter tile increments.

Note that some objects may become unusable or inaccessible for Sims if placed off the grid, so the use of this cheat is not recommended for anything other than decorative objects.
