I've only got this one little bit of roof left to do on this house and it's giving me fits >.<

It's a space about two tiles wide and three long. Trying to fill it in with the first roof tool, the one-slope.


k... links to images. (not very size-heavy, around 150k, but are 1280x1024. would change but couldn't figure out how to do it with Paint.)

(a sort of side note - i really wish there was something you could do to auto-change the angle... like with this (http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i1/glacierflame/one.jpg): in order to get the right orientation, y'hafta make it a tile or two wider than the space - not really a problem here, cuz it fits with the other side, but... would be nicer if there was a key you could press that would change the bit you're placing to another direction)

'K, so I get it fit - but look on the other side of the wall... GRRR~! I don't need roof *in* the bedroom, thank you anyways.(http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i1/glacierflame/two.jpg)

Changing the walls around doesn't work either - the downslope on that side always goes through the wall.

If anyone out there could lend me some insight...
*sighs*
(not to mention the other problems i've had with the roof of this house... i just *love* the way placing roof will arbitrarily change wall height and/or angle. </sarcasm>)

Cant help you before approval of your images !
Dont attach your pics, insert them (use photobucklet or over free site to make them availlable).

Don't worry about the roof poking into the bedroom. You will only see it when the roof are up, and I doubt you play in that mode. As far as your sims are concerned, it isn't there. It will not interfere with putting lights, decorations or paint on the walls.

I'm in total agreement about how cool it would be to have more control over roof angles -- especially on a roof by roof basis.

when you put another roof over that roof that juts inward into the bdroom, then that roof (in the bdroom) will disappear!
