Can't Place Sprinklers Indoors?

Does deleting the floor tiles around the sprinkler so that it's on the lot grass help at all? Like, where ever its area of effect is just delete the tiles there? Perhaps you could make a cute indoor display area with the sprinkler and flowers and such

I don't have any floor tiles in it? Otherwise you couldn't exactly call it a greenhouse =p

Its just dirt flooring but it still won't let me place them indoors. And I don't care about the puddles. You could always just leave puddles there and it wouldn't bother your sim. I just think its silly that in the previous games you could place sprinklers indoors but for some reason they decided to prevent that in this game.

Thanks for that idea. I guess I could try it, but its a hassle considering I've already taken the time to build the greenhouse. I'd have to pretty much dismantle it, place the sprinklers, and then rebuild it all over again.... there should be a much easier way. Like them just simply letting us place it indoors.

Not really, you don't have to delete the whole greenhouse, just one wall and the roof so it's considered outside and not closed off, then rebuild it. And does MOO not work?

Did you try just making an opening in one of the walls? That might get it to work, then you can close it back.

Did not read all the replies, but first thought: can it not be placed indoor with the bb.moveobjects cheat?

I tried a bunch of stuff and ended up creating a 'shell' greenhouse (floor dropped out in an inner area), placed my plants directly into the ground, then deleted a panel of the wall (this does not delete the roof, and is only temporary, but allows it to not be 'inside'/enclosed anymore), add the sprinklers, re-add the wall panel (so it is a closed building again), and the sprinkler function. In my Origin gallery I have this greenhouse if you want it - whole ("Botanist Earth Greenhouse") just the 'shell' ("Backyard Greenhouse Shell") that you add plants and sprinklers to ("Plants for Greenhouse"). You will need to upgrade the sprinklers to 'unbreakable' and 'no puddles' or they will break quickly and make puddles that bother the Sims. Have fun with your greenhouse!

In real life we used our actual lawn sprinkler for getting wet and playing. I thought that was the norm.
