Anyone else going crazy with roofs?

If you hold alt you can change the roof pitch in very small increments. Hope this helps!

It's a bit tricky to do, but it is possible. I connected a first floor roof with a second floor roof for my last Build-N-Share challenge entry on my old laptop with this house:




As @BridgetKV mentioned, the alt key is your friend. The shift key is also useful since it allows you to extend or retract just one side of the roof. I don't remember exactly how I managed to do it in this build, I'd have to load up the save file and take a look. It's on the gallery too if you want to download it here to take a look yourself.

But, I'm positive though it had to involve using the shift key to extend the first floor roof on the top as far as it would go, then use shift again to extend the second floor roof piece on just the one side to meet up with it.

I then most likely used the alt key to tweak them together. I probably had to adjust the height on each roof as well. It can take a lot of fiddling around and frustration, but it is possible to do and very rewarding once everything finally melds together. I'm surprised I have any hair left to be honest. lol Rooves can be quite the puzzle to figure out sometimes. Especially on more complicated builds. I sometimes take more time with the roof then anything else when building. Anyway, I hope this helps as well!

Happy Simming! <3

Roofing regularly drives me nuts. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve had to give up partway through a build because the roofing is impossible! The biggest culprit is fences not being able to close a room properly so the roof clips in, thankfully the separate eaves adjustments help. My pet hate is building in a roof space. I have to use the half gable bits down the bottom and a normal gale on the next level. I like to play walls up, so if the roof is all the same level it gets in the way with the walls up.

I have the hardest time with roofing. They always come out looking super odd and weird. I tried to experiment earlier and was told it looked like a Victorian, ranch and Colonel mated and that was the outcome.
