Oh that's a nice one for outdoor lovers! Hmmm.... the whole concept sounds like a great thing for decorations like this: (Well, not exactly in THIS version, but there's quite a lot you can do with the curved tools to create leaf- and petal-like rooms you can use as nice outdoor decorations. With the right floor patterns of…
I'm experimenting with it right now as well, and yeah, that's an issue. All you can do is shorten and make another one. Why can't we split the "pool-room"?
The thing is, I'm trying to visualise your problem for the second time now, but I'm finding that difficult. Could you maybe post some screenshots? (So I could try to recreate your issue as close to yours as possible ;))
When you're in the gallery in the "Community" section, select "All" (on the top left side under the little cloud icon), then search for "baboon" as name :)
Oh... sorry for not answering earlier, didn't notice. Well it's actually easy. Hipped roof from one side to the opposite, do that until all sides are covered, and one in the middle... Looks more complicated than it actually is :)
Hehe... I was actually thinking of Sheldon as I build this ;) And thank you very much to everyone else :) It's always nice if people like my slightly weird builds...
Thanks everyone :) And the name, well I couldn't think of anything decent and I didn't want to call it "Random Lounge" or something like that. And for some very odd reason that name came to my mind. I like the sound of it... *laughs*
Ha, didn't think of using them like that! Looks really nice. Sort of like a hybrid between something modern and something old fashioned. And very elegant.
Well, there's the no fade mod from MTS, but lamps and columns still fade... So, what I do: I get far away enough for them to show, and zoom in as much as possible... *shrugs*
You need to make a "room within a room" where you want to split-level your ground floor. Then in the room you want to lower, remove the floor. ;) Hope what was explanatory enough. There was a youtube video tutorial around somewhere... And thanks everyone else :)
If you go one floor up, you place a deck on the walls. I usually use the "flat something" ones without a fence or walls. Just resize them to fit the area you want covered. Then you should be able to place roofs on top of it. Hope that helped :)
Sounds like a plan ;) The thing is: I usually don't have the patience to turn something like that into something usable and presentable... ;) I just have ideas... Maybe I should open an "idea shelter", where people can "adopt" stuff like that to turn it into something decent... *laughs* Hmmm museum's a nice idea too... Now…
Hehe Ruth... funny thing is: After I posted this I had the idea for: Still not very usable but very decorative... something like the center of a park maybe? If you stretch it out you could walk through, bigger fountain in the middle... hmmm... EDIT: and better choice of floortiles, fence and terrain paint of course...…
That depends on what you want to do. If you like playing a normal family, doing their normal random daily life stuff etc. you usually don't need cheats. But some people like to do weird things. Just saw a post from someone who wanted a bigamist family with tons of children, who had an issue with the 8 sims in one houeshold…
It's still annoying. I mean you cannot even make something like... a farmhouse with foundation (to keep the (non-existent) rodents out) and a barn without...
