Aw sorry to cause you more work, and thank you for conforming with the new exterior colour guidelines @fatness1974 .
Here’s a link to
tutorials for several types of roofing… the one for gambrel / barn roofing is towards the end. I’ve copied their steps below (my additions in brackets) but the link also includes pics:
Gambrel or Barn roof
- (Ensure auto roofs are off)
- Start with the walls of your barn, then go up a level and add another set of walls but make this set one space in along the sides.
- Using the half gable tool, place a roof along the thin outer edge of the second floor on both sides and a gable roof on the top section.
- Raise the roof pieces (using the 'Adjust Roof Height' slider) till the side pieces reach the top of the wall and lower the top piece. There should be a distinct difference in pitch between the top section and the sides.
- You may need to lower the side walls a little so they don't come up through the top section.
Using Custard Download the Custard file from this site, then double click on the file to extract the contents.
Find where you extracted Custard and double-click to enter the folder titled "Custard Cleaner for Sims3 Pack files". *
Open Custard by double-clicking on "Sims3PackCleaner.exe" .
A window will open. Click on "File", "Open" then navigate to your Exports folder** to select the file you want to check.
A window will open with the contents of your file. There you can see if anything is a concern. ***
In future, you just need to start with Step 2.
* Tip! You may wish to first move the extracted Custard folder where you can easily find it again. I have a folder where I keep all my Sims 3 info with everything neatly in sub-folders.
** Exported TS3 files can be typically be found in the Exports sub-folder, i.e. C:\Users\xxx\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Exports.
*** This link explains about the types of unwanted content. If you just see lines showing your lot file and a bunch of thumbnails following your file is clean. If other stuff shows up, you’ll need to determine why.
