I have tried every combination I could find on the internet bu nothing works for me when it comes to scaling stuff down. I have a swedish keyboard and a mac computer. The Å works for scaling stuff up but I get so jealous watching other simmers scaling stuff down to fit the room. I have tried switching to other kayboardsettings (Brittish, US, US international) but nothing happens. Am I suppose to change the settings inside the game somewhere? What am I doing wrong?

On PC it is the key just above right of Å that scales things down.
If that is not the case on Mac then I suggest you ask in the Sims Mac forum.

I know this is preeetty old post I wanted to share a relusion too! Tried the Shift + Å and it works. I figured out the scale down command by trail and error, It's Shift + the button on the right side of ?.

You should ask in the Sims Mac forum what keys are used there.

Nordic keyboard object resizing
1. Sizing up: Ctrl-Å
2. Sizing down: Crtl-´
Happy simming!

Same keys as are used in Windows except that ctrl is not needed.

I have tried that and it doesn't work so I decided to play around and try few different keys on my that's Icelandic (even though I have set it as English) and found out that Ð makes it smaller and ? bigger you don't have to hold shift down just grab the object. I let a picture of my keyboard follow.
