1 - If you try placing two trees directly next to each other, the game won't allow it.

2 - So to get around this, firstly you will need to grab a 'Large' mat or rug and place it where you would like all of your items and furniture to go.

3 - Simply place all of your things you want to be in that location on the mat, you can literally put numerous items on the grid now.

4 - Now you have done that, all of your gathered furniture and The Sims Social items will stick together. Not only can you move the trees nearer to each other but you can put things around it to make it look nicer, put things under each other (i.e, rocks and clovers under a bench) or you can stack things on top of each other.

It's entirely up to you and how creative you are.

5 - All that is left to do now is move the mat or rug from under your 'Grouped' creation and you have a beautiful garden like pictured to the left.
