Sims 4: Boost Lot Size Instantly with This Powerful Cheat

The Sims 4, with its vast array of customization options, allows players to create their dream homes and neighborhoods. However, the base lot sizes may sometimes feel restrictive, especially when trying to design expansive dios or incorporate multiple buildings. That's where cheats come in, offering a way to increase the lot size, opening up endless possibilities for creativity.

Before diving into the cheats, it's essential to note that they can't instantly double the size of your current lots. To fully utilize the increased lot size, you'll need to start a new game or use a mod to expand your existing lots. Now, let's explore how to increase the lot size in The Sims 4.

Increasing the Lot Size

The primary method to increase the lot size involves using the "bb DuaLPUs" cas.fulleditMode" cheat. This cheat isn't intuitive, but it allows players to multiply the size of their lots up to four times. Here's how to use it:

1. Press Ctrl + Shift + C to open the cheat console.

2. Type bb DuaLPUs cas.fulleditMode true and press Enter.

Understanding the Cheat

The "bb DuaLPUs" cheat can be a bit confusing due to its jargon. Let's break it down to make it easier to understand:

bb is the abbreviation for "buy/build", indicating that the cheat is related to construction and purchasing.

DuaLPUs stands for "double large platform units", which are the largest possible building areas in the game.

Expanding Your Lots

Once you've enabled the cheat, you can expand your lots in one of two ways:

Manual expansion: After placing a large platform (such as a 3x3 or 4x4), switch to live mode, then back to build mode. The lot size will increase by one platform.

Using the grid: If you prefer a more straightforward method, you can use the build grid to expand your lots. After enabling the cheat, drag one of the corners of your lot to the desired size. Keep in mind that the maximum lot size is determined by your game's configuration files.

Changing the Lot Size via Edit Town

Another method to increase the lot size involves using the "edit town" feature, which allows players to adjust the size of multiple lots at once. This method is ideal for expanding entire neighborhoods or worlds.

To access the "edit town" feature, follow these steps:

1. Open your game and navigate to the main menu.

2. Click on Options, then Other, and finally, Edit Town.

Adjusting the Lot Size

Now that you're in the "edit town" mode, you can modify the size of multiple lots simultaneously. Here's how:

1. Select the desired lots using the CTRL (Windows) or Cmd (Mac) key.

2. Right-click on the selected lots and choose Change Lot Size.

3. Enter the new size for the selected lots and click OK.

Saving Your Changes

After adjusting the lot sizes, make sure to save your changes before exiting the "edit town" mode. To do this:

1. Click on File, then Save.

2. Enter a name for your save file, then click Save.

3. Once you've saved your changes, you can exit the "edit town" mode by clicking Cancel.

Increasing the lot size in The Sims 4 opens up a world of possibilities for creating expansive, intricate neighborhoods and towns. By using the "bb DuaLPUs" cheat or the "edit town" feature, players can design their dream worlds without being constrained by the base lot sizes. So, don't hesitate to let your creativity run wild and build those magnificent, sprawling cities you've always desired. Happy Simming!
