Instead of simulating driving, flying, or fighting \u2013 we were now simulating the banal existence of home life. And it was actually fun.<\/p>\n<p>Over two decades later, the franchise is still going strong with Sims 4. However, if you\u2019re new to the series (or if you\u2019re familiar with an older version), there may be a few things you\u2019re unsure of. A common difficulty, for example, is rotating your objects as you design your home.<\/p>\n<p>If this is an issue for you, then keep reading. We\u2019re going to explain exactly how to spin those objects around, and tell you how on each platform.<\/p> <h2><strong> How to rotate objects in The Sims 4<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ll list below exactly how to rotate your items for each platform (PlayStation, Xbox, and PC).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to rotate an item on a console (PlayStation or Xbox)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re on a console, it\u2019s pretty straightforward \u2013 and thankfully EA has made the action similar on both PlayStation and Xbox.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have the item selected, use the shoulder buttons (LB and RB on Xbox or L1 and R1 on PlayStation) to rotate left and right. Simple.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to rotate an item on PC or MAC<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s a little different on PC and MAC, but we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll still get the hang of it. Once you\u2019ve left-clicked on an item, right click it again to rotate it.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively (and this is more similar to the console button control), left click the item to select it, then use the comma and full-stop keys to rotate it left or right respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Have fun virtually building, and please give your Sims a nice place to live! There\u2019s far too much Sim-sadism about these days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more on The Sims:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/sims-4-cheats-cheat-codes\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Sims 4 cheats<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 all the codes you need<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/best-sims-4-mods\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Sims 4 mods<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 the greatest creations<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/best-sims-4-expansion-packs\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Sims 4 expansions<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 what to buy<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/best-sims-4-challenges\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Sims 4 challenges<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 test your skills<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/sims-4-pronouns-change\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Sims 4 pronouns<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 how to change them<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/sims-5-release-date\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Sims 5 release date<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 the latest predictions<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/sims-3-cheat-codes\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Sims 3 cheats<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 more codes to know<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/sims-4-free-to-play-newsupdate\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Sims 4 free<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 when did the game go free?<\/li>\n<\/ul> <div class=\"&quot;brightcove\" embed=\"\"> <div class=\"&quot;embed__intrinsic&quot;\"> <div class=\"&quot;brightcove__player\" vjs-playlist-player-container=\"\"> <video data-video-id=\"6319592953112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"&quot;default&quot;\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"&quot;video-js&quot;\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"&quot;\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js&quot;\"\/> <p><strong>Hungry for more gaming?
