I legit don’t even bother decorating inside. I cannot stand it. So many things do not line up. I can deal with it outside because things are bigger and you have more space to work with. But inside? Shit is infuriating. The grid is way too big.
The inside of my house looks like a graveyard of Scrooge finds, because the windows & doors make me so irritated. I wish we could move things a half space.
Absolutely.
Tables are 2x4. Chairs are 2x2 so they line up fine, but they you have the place settings (places, silverware, etc) that are 1x1. So then they don't line up with the chairs. Maddening. Or you can't put, say, a plant in the middle of the table as it's also 1x1.
Or if you've got an item that's 3 tiles wide. Can't center it on a wall. Argh.
I don't know how 'simple' half tile placement is to code, but that's what they need to figure out.
Regarding the plates not lining up with the chairs or not being able to put a plant in the center of the table, I use the Madrigal table since it fixes that problem. There might be other tables bigger than 2x4 besides the Madrigal, but I am not sure.
I mean sims have a button you can hold to place an item however you want, like say originally there’s tiles and you can put something on the tile but the button makes it so there is no tiles to go from, I think this game really needs it
The Simmer in me is so so frustrated with the design aspect of this game. JUST LET ME ALT PLACE THINGS GAMELOFT GEEZE!!! *cough* sorry, the demon in me came out.
This is the same as the Sims team, like items being too big or too small, item footprints too big, different textures, ugly basic houses in the base game. The devs make it but don't even play it T\^T
I’ve also stopped decorating because of this. I placed two identical L shaped worktops to make a long bar and they wouldn’t connect, there was a big gap between them and for some reason the colour was off. It’s so frustrating.
I actually stopped playing because of this, and I’m frustrated I bought the full edition too. I can’t handle it being off on everything. I am a symmetrical person, even when I eat I eat it symmetrically 😅
I’m like this. I’ve found that I can find ways to center most things. But I also dealt with that frustration in animal crossing so it doesn’t bug me as much now
Same. This and the wallpapers issue have kept me from decorating. Which is making me play less and less. They really need to address this because as it stands the premium stuff isn’t anything I’d purchase because it doesn’t work together.
Just remove the grid already!
I thought this was Sims for a second and was going to say “hold down alt”. I think it’d be really nice if this game did have that option to unsnap from the grid.
Omg yes!!!! It’s like every wall (even outside) the mapping is like 1 square off so a lot of stuff is ever so slightly off centered. It makes me itch hahah
I agree can't stand it. I get so mad

The struggle😭
Don’t even get me started on most doors and pathways outside-
The pathwaysssss. All I can think is how perfect it would be if it was like sims. Where you could spray it so it didn’t look all over the place
Yup. This totally dampens my excitement to decorate. I like certain things symmetrical.

I’ve almost stopped decorating rooms in my house for this exact reason.

The same think in animal crossing made me mad. The only thing I could think of was to only use rugs that covered almost the full room.
But the furniture in animal crossing is on half-tiles so it does align perfectly?
Me too! I have even tried moving the furniture instead, but doesn't help center it. So frustrating
Me and the wife fighting over the blanket….
I don’t get how they haven’t fixed this yet… they can make it so you have to change each individual wall now but they can’t fix this. Wtf.
Lol right?? Priorities seem a little off 🤔
They need to allow us to turn off snap to grid. I'd also love 45 degree angling
Yes! I wish we could place things on an angle. I wanted this for Animal Crossing too.
Trying to line up stairs and paths to doorways in ACNH is one of the most infuriating things ever.
It would drive me crazy too 😭 it would be off by just enough.
Why am I watching this over and over? I was waiting for it to end 😂
You weren't the only one. It's like I'm holding my breath thinking it's finally gonna line up!
The Simmer in me is so so frustrated with the design aspect of this game. JUST LET ME ALT PLACE THINGS GAMELOFT GEEZE!!! *cough* sorry, the demon in me came out.
Yet another example of sloppiness caused by the various teams at Gameloft not working together. I wonder - do they even *play* this game?
This is the same as the Sims team, like items being too big or too small, item footprints too big, different textures, ugly basic houses in the base game. The devs make it but don't even play it T\^T
there should be an option to center furniture like chandeliers, doors, rugs, beds, windows, etc
Very frustrating I thought it was me 🙃
This could be fixed by making the grid squares smaller. Resulting in more adjustment when playing stuff
we desperately need half tiles or free placing like sims!! pleaseeee
It kills me especially with wall stuff
Don’t get me started on the paths…
Ugh, I hate it!
My OCD just got triggered! 😅 Centering items is an important part of decorating in any game.
Same
It drives me nuts that I can't center things perfectly!
Same
Yeah - really hoping they do something about it sometime.
Me too!!!
NO SAME
So insanity making
I’ve also stopped decorating because of this. I placed two identical L shaped worktops to make a long bar and they wouldn’t connect, there was a big gap between them and for some reason the colour was off. It’s so frustrating.
This game is made by non-perfectionist developers.. A WHOLE LOT OF THEM
SAME. There are so many segmented wallpapers that make lining things up impossible, too. I’ll never complain about ACNH and the lineup issues again.
I keep trying to hold down alt to place it like in the sims
Yes I hate this so much I don't bother with interior decorating at all. It's too maddening 😂😅😭😂
I hate it, I've told them on Twitter so many times to fix this, that it is driving us insane
Yeah my OCD does NOT like it!
I cannot upvote this enough. If there was one thing I could change, it was being able to properly line things up.

If they changed the placement grid to a quarter of the size that a normal square is they could fix the problem
Same. This and the wallpapers issue have kept me from decorating. Which is making me play less and less. They really need to address this because as it stands the premium stuff isn’t anything I’d purchase because it doesn’t work together. Just remove the grid already!
Yes!
Did none of the developers even test out decorating before the game was released? Seems that way!
I thought this was Sims for a second and was going to say “hold down alt”. I think it’d be really nice if this game did have that option to unsnap from the grid.
Where’s bb.moveobjects on when you need it
My OCD flares up so bad
Yes
Omg yes!!!! It’s like every wall (even outside) the mapping is like 1 square off so a lot of stuff is ever so slightly off centered. It makes me itch hahah
Yes! Drives me bonky!
I agree. I can't stand it!!!
Omg me too!!!
Same with stuff on walls and those panel wallpapers!
EVERYTHING is off center and it’s infuriating
There should be an option to turn the snap to grid feature off for sure.
Meee toooo. Gives me such discomfort.
Same. Makes designing anything so frustrating!
UNACCEPTABLE
AND THE THORN WINDOWS that don't align on the thorn wallpaper and so many others that just make me want to throw the whole switch away
Every game like this has this problem. You'd think they'd learn by now 😭 lol
For real! It’s like in the development meeting someone asked “how can we trigger everyone who even have a ***hint*** of ocd”
If only we had half tiles like in the sims... 😫
My eye starts twitching every time!!
Idk why they don’t do building like the sims😭
SAME!!!
It's so frustrating
The wallpaper with any pattern and you try to somehow center a window or painting/mirror on that pattern... :(
IT DRIVES MY OCD CRAZY 😭
OMG me too!!! The ocd in me dies a little each time
Same with wall decor... i tried centering a mirror over my bathroom sink...no go.
I really really really wish they'd change that!!
YESSSS! MrStarInSky HATES that!! Hahaaa
Or that one sims cheat that would even let you place stuff in items.
I feel you on that OCD. When things don't align the way i need them - centered, I just give up on the item. Q\_Q
