You can
Shift+Click on:

Build/buy on a
lot you do not own. This will take money from your household funds.

Your sim to:
-
Edit them in CAS
(including traits and lifetime wish)
-
Change their
traits without entering CAS
-
Change their
favourite music without entering CAS
-
Trigger their
next age transition without using cake. If you do this to an elder sim, it will

he will change into random clothes but the dark mist around his feet will
remain.

Your postbox to:

on NPCs or other sims on the lot.

NPC to visit. They may take a few minutes to arrive.
