Hello everyone,

This is something that I remembered from the early 2000s, but I didn't know any more how it was done. And so far, I couldn't find anything about that anywhere.

Now I found this great Reddit post, in which several hotkeys are listed, that are not shown in the Help section of the game:

I'm happy that the function, of which I only had a distant memory, actually exists! :)

When you select a small object and "hover" it over a table, you can select specific positions for that object by pressing "Ctrl + 7", and then you can place the object.

This also works for things like souvenir cabinets. If you for example want to place a table lamp in a certain spot of the cabinet.

  
Does anyone remember this possibility and keys? And does anyone remember where it was mentioned? I don't think that it appears as a pop-up in the game. (Game tips/advice.)

Could it be that this method was explained in one of the small manuals that came with the expansion packs back then? I must have seen the method somewhere, more than 20 years ago!

Do you (still) know the method of selecting one of the possible spots of a table? (With the "/" key [Ctrl + 7].)
