Editing a residential lot while playing a different family

GoldenBuffy

I'm wondering if this can be done with cheats? I'm playing one of my rotational families, and their daughter was invited over a friends house. They are not playable (NPC) and when their lot loaded, I noticed it's a family of four (mom, dad, teen sister, and little brother). But they are living in a one bedroom house. So I wanted to add some beds, possibly a second level, or basement, just to give them more space, and more beds, but I also don't want to leave the family I'm playing right now. Any advice?

You can also, without using cheats, edit unplayed lots from manage worlds, but that would require loading screens and such.

I did try bb.enablefreebuild, but it didn't work. So I had to just go to their lot through manage world.

yes just go to manage worlds and even sit down a house from the gallery if you want, then go back to your main family. you can build anyplace you want this way, even in different cities and Granite Falls. Sims 4 is not at all restrictive as you think.

@Stormsview, Oh, no. I know I can do all that. I've been playing the game off and on since 2014. I was just wondering if, while playing Family A, who was visiting Family B (which is not part of my rotation at all), if I could edit their lot without having to leave the game and go into the World Editor. But I gave their lot a make over. I didn't give them a new house, just cheated them some more money, and added two extra bedrooms, and some upgrades! First major house redo for non playables, but it was fun!

I've done that, sadly, it didn't work.
