Swimming pool trick

Ok.. I found a house that someone created (cant seem to find it now but i have a picture of it thats all. Basically they managed to design a swimming pool attached to the house so you could see the water through the living room. How do you do that?!?!? Anyone? I dont have any EP's.

I saw this, too, and still can't figure it out. Anyone have any ideas? No exp pack here, either.

Mike Inside

My guess would probably be to check Mike Inside it has plenty of tutorials for stuff like that. :smash:

That is really awsome! I hope somebody posts a how-to soon. In the meantime, I'm off to experiment. My guess is that they build with the "constrain elevation" cheat. Worth a try to mess with it, though.

Here's a tutorial on how to do it from an Exchange Story on the official site.

I could have sworn it was from a site called "Linda's Tutorials"....

Hidden Force is the best. That link to that tutorial got it working. When Ive finished the house (about an hours time) Ill make it available to download.

That looks like they raised the elevation of the ground, added a pool, and maybe had glass walls? I don't know.

It is just done with BoolProp contrainFloorElevation cheat, Raise and area of gound to a suitable height, place your pool, use the cheat to drag down one of the pool sides the use Numenors glass walls to get that ilusion.

Thanks for the tutorial links. I'm going to give them a try sometime today. Let you know if I am successful. Probably not, I'm just a beginner.

thanks again

I tried and tried following the tutorials and after seemingly endless attempts, finally succeeded. Not perfect, mind you, but pretty close. A few more tries and I will have the technique down. Lots of brain work for a beginner.

mgmc0905,
The feature is workable in my system. I played my sims using the aquarium pool and fooling it around the building internally.

Therefore, the problem should not be on the feature.
