Re: Unable to replace grass with stone

@SheriGR, sorry I’m late in replying – my computer froze up for some reason last night when I was trying to reply, so I had to postpone it.  (My computer made me feel like I was playing The Sims 3 it was so slow! 😪 )

It sounds like you go through an ordeal in making your greenhouses! 🤨  I hope the terrain tools help you in that aspect.  I'm very happy to be able to finally manipulate the terrain like we were able to do in TS3 & TS2!  I'm not a big builder, but sometimes I do like to build, and/or give my landscapes some distinctive touches.  And of course, even people who never build their own houses in TS4 will still benefit from the terrain tools since it will affect what's listed in the Gallery by people who love to build! 

I don’t know the extent of the terrain tools, so they could be exactly like the ones in the past, but they could also be somewhat different. 🤔  My guess is that when using an outdoor “room” on a house with a foundation, you will still get a raised land platform under the room, but with the terrain tools I think you should be able to lower that platform so it is more level with the rest of the backyard, or at the very least you should be able to slope and smooth the edges so they look like a natural rise in the land (and you shouldn’t have to add stairs either! 😃  )

Here is a link to the footage for the terrain tools from the developers’ livestream.  They are planning on having one every month to update us on news regarding TS4 and other games like the mobile ones (Sims Freeplay and Sims Mobile). It's called "Maxis Monthly" and will be on the Twitch TV site. 🙂 The first half of the video is only about what’s new with the mobile games, so starting about halfway through they get to the new TS4 stuff.  There also will be a new career for free in this update! 🥳

Happy Simming! ❤️
