View Full Version : Make the buildings more taller!

So, I know how to use CFE to make decently tall buildings by raising the terrain height under some portion of wall and then using CFE.
However, there is a maximum terrain height, which puts a strict limit on how tall I can make my buildings. It's not quite skyscraper tall.
Fresh Prince has a world called Vice City, though, where he has TALLER buildings, and I want to know how to do that. Do you know what trick was used?
[Edit] Found the solution by asking in the comments on the Vice City page... you you build a 1x1 room, build another 1x1 room on top of it, then delete the first room. CFE off, raise terrain to max height. CFE on, flatten the terrain. CFE off, raise terrain. CFE on, flatten terrain. Repeat up to 3 times.

I'm not too sure how the custom CAW users make skyscrapers. I believe they use a cheat that alters the heights of the walls, so that whilst the building may look like it has 20 storeys it really only has four or so, and that a couple levels are just really high. They pain the exterior in a way to camouflage this. And then I think they use a couple of skyscraper shell tools (like skipping floors) from Late Night to bypass these floors when playing.
Again, I think that's how they work. I'm not too certain though.

It sounds like you're talking about CFE... which is a build-mode cheat that I've been using already to get taller buildings. The problem is that it's limited by how high you can raise the terrain. I've seen buildings taller than that though and I'm looking for whatever it is beyond CFE that these creators did.

You could try the GridAdjuster (see my profile). It is not limited by the height of the terrain.

Mootilda, I'm having trouble finding what you're referring to. I tried google and only found a TS2 version. Could you give me a link?

Sorry. I was in the wrong forum. GA is for Sims 2. I apologize.
