The Sims 4 is a life simulation game with a lot of customization. Players can design and build any environment imaginable for their Sims to live in. There are lots of items at the player's disposal in The Sims 4, but they might not always fit an individual gamer's creative vision. That's why it's possible to alter the orientation and other attributes of items. This guide will explain how to make items bigger in The Sims 4 using either keyboard controls or controller inputs.

The first step to making things fit perfectly in a home is to learn how to rotate items in The Sims 4. Even after that, players may want to alter the size of items to make a perfectly decorated house or town. Item size can be increased to just about any magnitude that a player could want, and then reduced back down again if it doesn't turn out just right. The possible size of items in The Sims 4 is only limited by the borders of the game world itself.
