THANK YOU for sharing your ideas and tips about roofing. Last night I decided to try out different roofing styles and the biggest mistake I made was adding to the room before roofing and then I was constantly given the "Can't intersect other objects" message ! DRACK NAB IT. So then today I said, OK gotta read Kirk's tutorials and first line --Don't put anything in the room before you roof it first! GREAT ADVICE, Even windows get in the way...so WALLS FIRST, then ROOF. I will never make that mistake again not following that order! Your roofing ideas are so good and I admire your builds so much so thank you for putting these guides together. Virtual recs and a sincere thank you!

Thanks Karen. I know I am getting back to you rather belatedly on this post but it reminded me of another issue that crops up when placing furnishings under tricky rooflines...the dreaded "roof is too low" message. Not only will it prevent furnishing placement, but can cause "pathing" issues for your Sims. What I do is turn the "moveobjects on" cheat on, place a plant, end table, etc in the offending area so a Sim won't try to walk there and the issue is resolved. Just don't put a chair there or the Sim will scold you for a unusable chair, lol. In some cases a desk can be placed in a low ceiling area, as long as the chair is outside of the low area. The sim can still sit at the desk and use the computer. Usually this kind of issue crops up in attic situations.
Thanks,
