The primary method to quickly remove furniture from a room in The Sims 4 involves using the sledgehammer tool in Build Mode. By targeting the floor of a room with the sledgehammer, you can effectively delete all the furniture placed within that room.
Using the Sledgehammer Tool
This technique is a fast way to clear out entire sections of a lot. Here's how it works:
- Enter Build Mode: Access Build Mode on the lot you wish to modify.
- Select the Sledgehammer Tool: Find and select the sledgehammer icon in the interface.
- Target the Room's Floor: Click directly on the floor tiles of the room you want to empty.
When you click the floor with the sledgehammer, the game deletes the floor itself, and in doing so, it automatically removes most items placed on that floor within the room's boundaries.
Important Considerations:
- Wall Items: According to available information, using the sledgehammer on the floor might not delete items placed on the walls (like paintings, mirrors, or wall cabinets). You may need to remove these separately.
- Household Inventory: If the house belongs to a currently played household, the furniture you delete this way will not be permanently removed from the game. Instead, it will be transferred to that household's Build Mode Inventory.
- Permanent Removal: To permanently delete the items, you must go into the household inventory and manually delete them from there.
What Happens After Deleting the Floor?
- The floor of the room is removed.
- Most furniture and objects placed on the floor in that room are deleted.
- Wall items may remain.
- If a household lives there, the items go to their inventory.
- You will need to replace the floor and potentially the walls/ceiling if you want the room back.
This sledgehammer method is efficient for clearing rooms quickly but requires subsequent steps if you need to permanently remove items or if wall decorations weren't deleted.
