If you're struggling with how to turn furniture in The Sims 4, you're not alone. Despite being one of the core tenets of EA's iconic life simulator, The Sims 4 never outright tells you how to rotate placed items from the build-buy mode menu. After hours of aggravation, you might be surprised by how simple it really is.
Even if you aren't using The Sims 4 free build cheat, creating the home of your dreams shouldn't be rocket science. Interior decorating is just as important as building the structure itself, as what use is your fancy new sofa if you can't turn it just so and use it to make the room pop? Here's how to turn your furniture in The Sims 4 and get yourself the stunning home of your dreams.

To rotate furniture in The Sims 4 just make sure you're in Build Mode, then click the right mouse button when the object you want to rotate is selected. You can also use the keyboard shortcuts < or > to rotate selected items without further clicking.
