I have made two tutorials about this type of roofing:


Castle spire roofs:

or you can find the same one here:

Tent style roofing (like those in my M*A*S*H lot)
http://thesims2.ea.com/exchange/sto...&user_id=153792

With this tute - I picked up on a problem:
before you flatten the ground floor (after the raising process) remove the border fences before using the level terrain tool to flatten the ground.

Secondly: I made a typo, that's 15 clicks not licks :argh: lol

They should be pretty easy to follow (no licking required)

sunni9676,
thank you very much for posting this tutorial!!!
i live in a cold climate, and just about NOW i am wanting to 'visit' a lot of warm, tropical spots!
yummy!

I love those stairs and with the help of mikeinside's tut I managed to build them. 1:3; 2:2; 3:1; 1:1:1:1; (think all the possibilities!).
But I got mad/nut with the clicking! Sometimes there were six steps instead of four and so on, sometimes only three. :smash:
If you don't have/know this problem, just skip.
For all the others (who also want to kill their mouse sometimes) here a tiny trick:
I tried and found out, that it is not necessary to do all the clicking. Actually you need "four clicks down" (or eight or 12) and you can get them just using the connecting stairs on the ground. After you have lowered the spot (with the help of the connecting stairs instead of clicking the edge of the foundation), you can place a foundation and then go on just like in mikeinside's tut. (To lower 4 steps, I didn't need lowering at all. I just had a wall-"column" set on the ground without foundation.) After you have placed the "helping wall-column" (on exactly the spot told by mikeinside), you do the boolprop constrainfloorelevation false and continue with the floortiles.
Now that I am posting this, I hope you will not think I want to be a "know-it-all". (*imagine a blushing smiley*) Without Mike and Jack_d_Spratt I would still sit here with nothing but the odd Maxi-stairs, that ruin every house. So first of all: many thanks to that wonderful tut. I just was so happy, that I could do the stairs so much quicker now, that I wanted to share. (I don't have anything else to share, I'm a failure in creating anything - I only manage downloading all the wonderful stuff others did.)

Sorry, nothing destructive, but your tutorial is too difficult to navigate.

I found your tutorial understandable and easy to follow. Can't wait to try the stairs. Have you tried putting the botton stairs at a right angle to the upper and against the right wall? Thanks, SJ

I would like to show a tutorial on the stairs seen in these 2 pictures.


Apparently, thats a T shaped stair case. And here is a little tutorial on how to do it without cheats. Sorry, I didn't take alot of time to put this together, so its just words.

Step 1, build 2 floors.
Step 2, build a 1x1 piece of foundation on the bottom.
Step 3, go to the top, and in front of that foundation, on the tiles, move back one space and place a piece of floor(any kind). then have the top of the stairs there.
Step 4, make the last 2 or 3 stair pieces, and you have a lowercase and capital T shaped staircase.

Not a good tutorial, having no good screenshots, but it isnt hard at all to figure out.

This can only be done without a foundation for the entire house, unless you are making these stairs for the basement. Also, you can make L shaped stairs, but you can't place a wall next to the foundation. Tinker around with this, and you can make some simple stair designs.

um... i dont know what you found so difficult about it. just hit the "next" key at the top. not so hard to navigate at all. :slow:

that tute wasnt hard to navigate at all. please continue to help the community by writing them!!! :bow: :bow2:

I have to thank mikeInside for the stairs tutorial. Even tough the tutorial is not 100% clear (it is hard to sound straightfoward 'cause the bunch of odd procedures involved), it is excellent and made me test and pratice a lot. See You.

DAIHTNAOZ7!!!! Please come back to thesims2.com! I LOVE ALL YOUR WORK AND YOU HAVEN'T UPLOADEDA ANYTHING SINCE DECEMBER! Please come back and make more cool tutorials and house. i love the cathedral! Why did you quit anyway?

I love a good tutorial! I'm glad there are alternate sites, however, as I have a terrible time getting the ones at Sims2 to load. I've got a good fast connection, so I figure it must be site traffic. Very frustrating.

After checking the tutorial and testing a lot, now I am able make cool stairs I guess. Check it out:



Thanks again.

Hey can anybody tell if it's possible to create a roof (Not flat) that you can put floor tiles on. I know about the boolprop cheat but would like some better colours for the proper roofs. Perhaps somebody knows where I can find a wide range of custom roof patterns to download, or a way of covering roofs in floor tiles?

Hey, if anybody would like to see some of my hacks, hints and musings, check out my website, www.sebratwildcat.com

i cant get in i follow about 12 link to your site even the link you gave and its impossible to get into your site why? i need the tutorial for make the connecting stair simple can you help me :confused:

Once upon a time I saw a lot with the redbrick fence as stair railing for modular stairs. I do not recall how to achieve this effect, and I can't seem to find the lot or anything else like it for that matter on the exchange. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Hi,
that's because the links have changed:

I cant build my swimmable lake. Everytime I try to lower it, a blue veil kinda thing stays floating on top of the real pool. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone kno how to fix it?

peterpe, could you be more specific about the problem?

edit: I tried this out in the game myself, and had the same problem. I'm going to raise the issue in another thread.

i really wanna know how to make swimable lakes but i downloaded the tutorial that sunni9676 made to be seen offline but i dont know how to open that file so will some one please explain to me how to do that

I'm not the author of this tutorial, but a friend of mine found it somewhere in
the internet and thought it may be helpful to me. And so, I submit it here...
Do not ask me any question about it because I'm still learning and not the one
to ask

Hello everyone, this is my first attempt to make a tutorial.
I know I've no nice html tool to make it presently.

But, there it goes... :banana:

As its name says so, I tried to talk about a few uses of this topic in the tutorials. Hopefully, it fits for most people... :bump:

If there's any question, error or suggestion, you're more than welcome to pm me as long as it's constructive or at least not abusive.

Hey Sunni,

I noticed how everyone is talking about your island...Sounds intersting, I'm gonna try it out!!! lol...latr
