SIMS 3….how do you view inside of a building?

my sims go in a building but i cant c them or the inside of the building…the only building i can see inside of is my own house. i cant see inside neighbors houses, the stores, the spa,etc…anywhere else besides my own house i cant view. you can see inside of other buildings, right?
k…i get tht there r some buildings u can view but HOW do u see inside? what button????

Hey, I have had this same problem… but I found out why. Some buildings (Like the offices and the shops) don’t actual have a functioning and graphically sound inside. However, buildings that do have an inside (all houses, art gallery, etc.) require you to press the button on the bottom left hand side of the screen shaped like the upper torso and head of a person. =) Hope that helps!

    You can’t see inside any other buildings apart from your house. You can only see inside a neighbours house if you are invited inside.

    it depends, if your out following your sim on the outside view, then you cannot see into buildings. but if your at your home then you can easily go inside. i found out that when my lady was having her baby at the hospital that i cant get inside the building.

    if you read the manuel, they’ve listed the buildings you can see your sim go into. basically, most of the buildings aren’t visible on the inside. pretty lame, i know. maybe when they create expansions they’ll actually show the insides. hope i helped.
    actualy, if you press the tab button, and take your sim inside, then you can enter the building and see inside

    When it comes to the other buildings, I don’t believe you are allowed to view them. With your neighbors though you should be allowed to view the inside, but only when you visit the household.

    I think if you go down a level it might work. I tried that when my sim was in the art gallery and it worked. So try it.
    Hope I helped <3

    You can’t see through the bookstore, spa, theatre, etc. you can only see through the library, the beach and look at the map you can only see inside the community lots. You can’t see inside a neighbours lot until the let you in.
