CURTAIN TUTORIAL FOR APARTMENTS
Some people are having issues with curtains not placing with apartment rooms when people download them from the gallery.
So the main issue is the windows are fixed and don't save with the rooms when uploading and when putting curtains up they attach to the windows which is why they do not place when your room is downloaded as they disappear with the windows.
Make sure you turn on bb.moveobjects aka Moo
In this first picture you can see there is two green lines, one belonging to the curtains themselves and the lighter green lines shows that you are attaching the curtains to the window's space.
To avoid this move the windows down into a position that the lighter green lines disappear (seen in pic below)
Then press the "9" key on your keyboard to raise the curtains up into the position you want (they will not be attached to the window)
Place the curtains in the spot your happy with and deselect them, repeat for all other curtains in the room.
Now the curtains won't be attached to the windows and will place with the room when someone downloads it
I hope this helps anyone having trouble.
@Cbear13 --- I'm not sure if I may post a roof still. I am fine with flat rooves, obviously, and I can definitely do regular gabled rooves and hipped rooves. I need to practice the other types. I will make a small lot now, and post it in this thread.
I tried to curve this half hipped roof the correct way, but it needs some help. Could you or someone explain how to fix this. Thanks a lot.
I used the Crick Cabana lot in Willow Creek.
The house I whipped up is empty --- only partially decorated on the outside and wall coverings/flooring/lighting and 4 empty rooms inside.
Oh @coolsim9999999 sorry for the delay I dont know how I missed your post, once Im caught up with the current challenge judging I will take a look and help you out with some advice. Sorry again for taking so long.
Also if you upload the house so I can download it and take a closer look that will help a lot
@cbear13--- I just remembered, my game erased the game with that house (I'm still getting used to the new save system), but I could build it again. When you're caught up with judging, then, you could look at both the screenshots, and the new little house that I'll build and upload.
From what I can see from the pics @coolsim9999999 you just need to shorten the overhang on the two top pieces, its hard to say without testing in game but you can lengthen and shorten each roof piece by selecting the roof piece then you will see some arrows at the ends of the roofing if you click on the arrow and drag it in or out it should shorten or lengthen the overhang of the roof
Also if you only want to change one side of the roof piece you have selected then hold down the SHIFT button when clicking on the arrow and sliding and it will only move that side.
I have pictures of this somewhere in this thread which I will look for and link you to when I find it haha
I am taking your advice and I'm going to go through the practice challenges! I had fun doing this and I hope you enjoy it and don't find many errors. Thanks :D

Thanks @Cbear13 Can I start on the other challenges without having feedback and whatnot? I'm assuming I could just make changes as feedback comes in.. lol
@Paigeotto you can but I do suggest waiting at least on the first challenge feedback so I can point out how we judge and what we look for so that you can improve on it for the next challenge.
I should have my judging done today so I will try get to it either this afternoon or tomorrow morning so your not waiting to long
So I definitely ended up changing a bunch of things @Cbear13
Would it be better to wait for the feedback of what I have already entered and just include it in the next challenge, or re-enter the first challenge? I've been really digging what I've created so I've been just been having a blast with it D:
Um its up to you @Paigeotto I have some time this morning to go through the practice challenges have another one to do as well as yours so if you want to re enter if you could do it soon that would be great
Couple of months later and my build is still not judged xD but its okay, ive made some huge progress since that build so no need to judge it @Cbear13 (:
Oh my *slaps self @WiggleyTuff I am sooo sorry I have no excuse other than just having the worst memory known to man.
If you do want to re enter a challenge or want me to look at one then I will make it my priority before I do anything else on here

I appreciated these practice challenges and just thought that maybe I'd share what I'd learned by starting a build challenge myself!

The house I whipped up is empty --- only partially decorated on the outside and wall coverings/flooring/lighting and 4 empty rooms inside.
I spent most of my time on the roof
the front
the back
the side I need to work on
Also if you upload the house so I can download it and take a closer look that will help a lot
