Looking for a roofing tutorial for dummies
So I have always been absolutely terrible at roofs in Sims 2 :s I pretty much always relied on the autoroof tool... But it's high time I learned how to do nice roofs myself. Can anyone recommend any g...

i remember making a Victorian in sims 2, if I recall correctly I don't think I had that much trouble with the roof. It has been while since I've done a build in sims 2 though so I shall go give it a go and report back with my findings.
Edit:
okay I made a small Victorian on a 20x20 and this is what I discovered the half-hipped roof isn't a problem( which I think is the name of the roof type you'll be using)...yes it will clip through if you have to drag it into the house (which you will if you want it to look connected) but you'll only see the clip through if you have the walls completely up and it doesn't keep you from putting things there for the sims to use, you'll just have to delete the single wall it creates first. To get the roof to line up with the wall you'll just have to adjust the roof height and I found that 68 was perfect.
The octagonal roof isn't too tricky either you'll just want to place it one square away from where you actually want it otherwise it'll have quite the over hang.
The dormers however, will be extremely tricky I tried adding some to mine but I just didn't like it. They were the same height as the normal wall so they were even with the roof and I just didn't like it but my Victorian could just be too small to make them work. You'll just have to play around with yours and see.
hope this helps :D
