Trinity Building Editor PC Keyboard Controls & Shortcuts

by Fernando Diaz / Game Guides, General Guides / 06 Jun 2023

Oh, remember when the first Sims game dropped way back in the early 2000s?? That game was a total game-changer blowing our minds with its rad features… You could build a house from scratch, choose where to put the walls, doors, & windows, slap on some wallpaper, & mess with the landscape. It was epic for anyone who dug creativity. Heck, it even inspired some folks to get into architecture. That game really left its mark…

Now fast forward to today & we’ve got something even more sick; it’s called Trinity Building Editor & it’s like the building mode from The Sims series but on steroids. This game is all about giving you the ultimate freedom to flex your creative muscles. Play around with the landscape, lay down the foundation, tweak the size of every part of your building, mix & match pieces for a custom vibe, stack ’em, rotate ’em, scale ’em… You get to pick materials & textures too. And to top it all off -> you can landscape with plants. This guide right here?? It’s got all the crucial keyboard shortcuts & controls you’ll need so make sure to bookmark it for later.
