Half Tile Wall Placement

The Sims is often used for Amateur recreations of real buildings.

I'm actually so surprised that almost 5 years or something after release thar there's no half tile option for walls.

It should be a simple fix, just add in a wall that's half the width of the other walls.

    Me Too! I just created a lot with open door frames just with columns used to create a nice edge, but it left a tiny gap to squeeze through and I was cursing the fact that we don't have have wall tile capabilities. I kind of got it to work but half width wall tiles would have really helped.

    I was surprised that there was surprisingly little support for this request.
    I wonder if this is related to the fact that objects such as furniture can be moved and placed in half-tile units, but buildings themselves can only be moved and placed in single-tile units.
    I think if it were possible to create walls and platforms in half-tile size, it would create a lot of diversity in the buildings themselves, but would it be difficult?
    Some of the landscape buildings placed in the world have exterior decorations that look like half-tile-sized platforms. As I look at them, I wish I could one day build a building like that myself.

    It literally never occurred to me that half-tile walls might be a thing. Now that I’ve heard this idea, I want it! 

  • i agree! i think it could make building so much more interesting, and also more accurate if we are recreating a real-life building too 🙂

  • Half tile walls - and being able to place a wall at the half tile line! The number of times I’ve wanted to make a room only half a tile wider… I assume these two things would come together.
