{{For|build mode in other games in the series|Build mode}}
'''Build mode''' is a main game mode in ''[[The Sims 4]]''. Build mode is used to edit a [[lot]], including architectural and construction changes, and the addition of objects. In other games in the series, purchasing, moving and manipulating objects is handled in a separate game mode, usually called [[buy mode]], but in ''[[The Sims 4]]'', these functions are included in build mode.
Line 15 ⟶ 14:
* '''Sledgehammer tool''' ({{key|K}}) - This tool can quickly delete objects and architectural elements on a lot. Clicking on an object will delete the object (unless the object cannot be deleted). The tool can be clicked and dragged to select multiple objects or elements simultaneously.
* '''Design tool''' ({{Key|R}}) - This tool is used to change an object's color or pattern. Using this tool does not incur any cost.
* '''Undo''' and '''Redo''' ({{Key|Ctrl|Z}}/{{Key|Cmd|Z}} and {{Key|Ctrl|Y}}/{{Key|Cmd|Y}}) - When undo is used, the most recent change on the lot will be reversed. If an action is undone, redo will reverse the undo. Only changes made in the current session of Build Mode can be undone or redone; once play is switched to Live Mode, or the lot is exited, those actions cannot be undone or redone.
* '''Save to My Library''' - Clicking this tool will save the active lot into the player's library.
* '''Move Lot and House''' - Clicking this tool allows the player to move either a single house, or the entire lot.
