Building a deck on top of a deck

Hello everyone. I recently purchased Island Living and immediately went straight to work on a beautiful villa for my lovebirds to live in. At the same time, I watched a video on YouTube to get a few good ideas for my build. Well, when it came time to build my deck I tried to construct it in the same way as the builder on YouTube. I began by creating a deck with a pool in it, and then I tried to add the deck just a few inches above the base deck... Needless to say, I ran into a roadblock! Seriously, I adore this particular deck, but I have no clue how to even begin the top section. I've provided a few screenshots below as proof because it's, in fact, possible to do. Please, I'm in desperate need of answers!

    @misterNYCmodel  Awww.... you are so kind!! You have made my day!! 🙂 ❤️ If you just mark the thread as accepting the solution and provide helpers with "xp" on posts that help that is the way that we get out 'reward' and the way others can find helpful solutions if they have the same issue. Thank you again!! :eahigh_file:

  • @SheriGR Hi, Sheri! Wow! I wasn't sure if the post was closed or I would have asked you for further help on this headache of a darn deck lol! Give me a bit and I'll check out your video. I have it all etched out and floating one story above the pool. So far, I think that's the only position for it—in the air. Looks real good though lol. I swear, this wooden piece of perfection is going to be the Sims death of me! 😂
  • @SheriGR Hi, Sheri!

    I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I tried your method and IT WORKED! I finally took the time to sit down, watch the video and simply do it! Of course, this meant that I had to start my build over with just the pool and the first floor, just as you did in your video, but I tell you, it was well worth it!

    Again, I thank you for all your help!

    @misterNYCmodel I am so happy you successfully conquered your beautiful build and can now enjoy it with your sim! 🙂 You did well, as it was a tricky technique. You should be proud of yourself for sure! :eahigh_file:

  • @SheriGR Thank you so much! My real life occupation keeps me very busy, so, initially, I wasn't really able to watch your video. I was just happy to know that you solved my issue, and I made darn sure to thank you for that alone. And then I finally sat down to execute the deck and failed miserably lol. However, this time around I was a success and I really do owe that all to you, Ms. Sheri!

    I'll never forget ya! 😀
