A very small tip - every builder knows about the MOO cheat, but let's face it, everyone who ever used it has at some point found their Sim's path blocked because you weren't able to spot the red that means you've blocked a door or a staircase.
Here's the tip - when you're building, use standard mode to set up your house. Put everything in place in standard mode, and enter MOO later. Some large functional items can be deceptive in how easy they are to position and how close you can put things. The Observatory looks small but it takes up a lot of space.
Additionally, ever used Debug? Whether the answer is yes or no, debug items won't transfer in room-sharing. So if you're proud of a room packed with debug items, remember that other people won't see them upon sharing, only in photos, which is kind of fals advertising. So if you're making a room for sharing on the gallery, there's no point in debug items being added as they will disappear.
Prepping a list of mods to add after Infants are placed into the game. Because real life isn't 'nice'.

Hello @Loanet Thankyou for posting your helpful tips.

Some Debug items DO save to a room and download from the gallery intact. I have been doing a test room to figure out which ones survive and which do not. If you wouldn't mind could you download it and see if there seems to be empty spaces on the shelves? I do like to use Debug items, and I would at least like to warn players if items will be gone. I think the room is called Debug Test Room 5?
@Loanet Sorry, but as @sooozeeebeee said there are plenty of debug items you can use which will be in the room after uploading/downloading (I particularly love the magazin from the spa day package and the remote control for the TV ) ... Since I discovered that's not the case with each item I am much more careful and test it before uploading my builds to the gallery. And thanks for the tips with MOO... I think the only foolproof method to get everything functional is playtesting after all
There's been times my sims couldn't go to bed because the shade over the door was blocking the way. As you can guess, it took me some time to figure out that was the specific problem.

Hello @Loanet Thankyou for the helpful tip to check to see if a shade is causing the issue, if the sims can't go to bed.
I don't know if anyone is interested, but I just uploaded another video tutorial about how to create a fireplace out of a campfire where you can still grill your marshmallows ;-)

Hello @lisi_ja
Thankyou very much for creating a helpful video tutorial on creating a fireplace using a campfire, and posting the link here
I have added it to the first page of this thread.
Did some game testing and Granite Falls Insect Spawners are stable and can now be used on lots since the last patch without needing to use a mod. They function the same way they do in Granite Falls. I used the objects.gsi_create_obj cheat to spawn the spawners. Where ever your sim is standing when the code is entered is where the spawner will generate. Spawners can be layered, but I forgot I had MOO activated at the time and dont know if that effected the result. Weird and cool seeing so many insects at the same time. WARNING, the spawner itself is invisible and you can not move it. I placed a pool over a spawner and was able to delete the spawner that way when I deleted the pool. The sledgehammer will only delete the currently visible insects, but they will be back. Insects can take several Sim hours to appear for the first time depending on time of day, type of insects etc. Spawners can NOT be generated inside a building, room, or on floor tiles. Update:The spawners do NOT survive the gallery intact. The first insects will appear, but after they time out, no new insects will spawn. Special thanks go to @SimGuruModSquad for working on a fix, and @Alistu for starting the thread that made this possible.
