I recommend leaving the roof alone. Each time I build a large home with an Angled room or area and a basement. There is always issues with the roof, so unless you know CFE well and know how to level an entire floor I recommend leaving it alone. I am going to include a few interior items, cuz they will fit the room, I'm thinking of. It will be CC, so hoping it transfers. Mainly talking about the theater. Otherwise, I will be looking forward to seeing your WIPs progress. I don't want this to be a contest. There is no money, medals, or simpoints involved, so lets share and get inspiration from each other.
