How did you get the roof to show up from underneath like that?

Thanks !

For pictures I use GunMod Camera Mod, you can download it here :
http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=97642
Using the TAB key, you can do almost everything with your camera, and take pictures like the one I posted. It's a really usefull mod I think ! Especially for creators and storytellers !

As for the house, I build it only to take pictures of the roof and for my SimStory I made it really quickly and with custom content that is not all mine, so I can't upload it.
But I was planning to make another one like that only with my custom content and upload it as well :D
I'll tell you when it's ready !

Edit : Hi Rhondalatte ! And thank you ! :D

Hi! it looks great, I have a question, how do you get the water of the sea to look like that, like the first screenshot. mine looks a little invisible and blue, but not so good like the one you have in the shots. It looks like it has waves also. If you can help me. it would be great to travel to a beach like that thanx!

Thanks, all of you ! :moose:
For the water, I downloaded some water textures (on Casa d'Arte I think, here ) and I mixed them on the lot in order to have something a bit realistic (dark blue for deep sea, light blue for the small waves on the beach). And for the "waves" I just used terrain tool to elevate or dig the terrain to make it look like waves.
You'll see, the first time it will perhaps be a little long to make, but then you'll get use to it, and it's really easy ! :nod: (I have an entire neighborhood with lots like this one !)

Thanks everyone !!
I'm glad you like it !

Jonsey : I explained how I made the ocean in a previous post on this page. (post #13) It's really easy to make when you have good groundfloors, you'll see !
