Not everybody enjoys using keyboard to control certain things but personally I do prefer to combine using my mouse and keyboard. So, here are some hotkeys you can use in Build and/or Live Mode to make some things a bit easier or quicker.
Keep in mind that you can switch between modes using the following hotkeys:
- F1 for Live Mode
- F2 for Buy Mode
- F3 for Build Mode
Furthermore:

The Sims 4 Objects Placement Tools help you differentiate a bit the way you place the objects.
While in build/buy mode, open the command console by pressing Ctrl+Shift+C. Enter bb.moveobjects on cheat to activate it. You can pick up the object you wish to change its placement and perform one of the following actions using your keyboard:
