Landscaping & Foundations!

[annutjuh231]

Hi!

I spend an hour or so looking for the right tutorial, but I wasn't able to find it :S.

Ehm.. How should I say this in correct English? :P
As you can see in the picture, the foundation is warped. But of course, I don't want that! How can I get the foundation correct again so it isn't warped anymore and so it will be straight with the groundlevel I made.
I hope you understand my question :P and that someone is able to help me out!

Loves, Anne

Edit: I only have base game installed ;)

Unfortunately, you cannot have the foundation and ground level the same.
You can just use the constrainfloorelevation cheat re-level the foundation, but the ground level will always be 1 square away. sry :(

It looks like you are trying to have the foundation at the exact same height as the ground level. Is that correct? If so, you need to be aware that it is difficult to create a 0-click difference in levels, and your sims will not be able to move from the ground level to the foundation level, even if they are at the same height.

There are two possible ways to create a 0-click difference between two levels. The easiest is to use the TS2GridAdjuster, but that involves downloading a program and running it outside of the game. The other method is in-game, but can be quite complex. There's a tutorial available somewhere. If you still want it, I can try to find you a link.

Just remember, your sims will not be able to move from one level to the other without stairs. The minimum number of clicks for stairs to function is 2. So, I doubt that you can actually do what you want to do and have it function.

Let me know if you want me to try to find that tutorial for you.

Yes, I was trying to have that foundation at the exact same heigth as the ground.. But when it's not possible for my sims to move from the foundation to the ground, I'll think of a different design..
Because, in the end, all what I wanted was that my sims could move from their terrace to their garden without any stairs..

Thanks for your help!

if you use this http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=242420 then you get the same level and you can use stairs

I don't see any indication that this will allow sims to travel from level 0 (ground) to level 1 (foundation). My understanding is that it is just a fence object which covers up the slope.Logically it ought to be impossible for sims to walk on it, i would say -- there's nothing there for them to walk on, except a very steep slope.In order to get from level 0 to level 1, there must be stairs or equivalent.

I believe that the best solution might be to modify the ascension stairs:

to create a "ramp" with a mesh which rises 0 clicks, rather than the standard wall height of 16 clicks.
