How do you mirror an item in The Sims 4? Which key or cheat can you use to mirror an object? One or two players of the popular life simulation who are in the process of building a house and then decorating it and want to place several asymmetrical objects in the house will perhaps be concerned with this question. The question of mirroring objects often arises when objects are placed next to each other and the orientation of the object is only in one direction. In order to get a “symmetrical overall result”, it would be practical if you could mirror an item. But is that even possible?
How can you mirror an object?
Even though you can rotate an object in all directions and even change its size in The Sims 4, it is unfortunately not yet possible to mirror an object. There is neither a button that allows you to mirror an object at the push of a button, nor is there a cheat. The reason is probably because there is no mirrored variant stored for the respective 3D objects. If you want to mirror an item from build mode, this is only possible by mirroring the 3D object of the item using appropriate 3D software (i.e. only for modders). That’s exactly what some modders do, because you can sometimes find custom content with played objects from the game online. The latter are usually plants or other asymmetrical objects.
- Rotate item left and right: comma and period key
- Enlarge and reduce the size of an object: ? key and ´ key (to the left of backspace)
Mirrored items via CC
As mentioned above, you can find frequently played items for Sims 4 on the well-known custom content sites such as thesimsresource.com. This usually involves two variants of the item, one played and one not mirrored.
Has anything changed in the meantime and is there now an easy way to mirror an item in The Sims 4? If so, we would be happy to hear from you in the comments and we will add the information here.
