Climbing the hill

Personally, I haven't yet played around with the terrain tool. But what a gorgeous lot that is!

You might want to try adding stairs, it'll allow Sims to move to the top.
Example:

It is obviously less steep, but it could work for your lot. Placing stairs on a hill will adjust the terrain to allow the stairs to be placed.

Really can't understand how Maxis favourites lots that they haven't even tested.

I forgot all about the terrain tool.

Hmmm.... Yup. I would try a combination of stairs and plateaus. Did you check comments about if others worked this out and how? You may also be able to use a series of tiles instead of stairs. They discussed in the terrain video from EA before its release, and I actually did it on a lot I used terrain with - though it was a bit fidgety. Check out this video especially at about 54:48 into the video where they discuss this: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/321249247

Thanks.

@CaioSantos Can you give us a link to the gallery upload? Also, is it possible they realized the issue and took it down and are fixing the routability issue and will re-upload? Just some thoughts. It sure is beautiful! Weird question... if you look in build mode is the castle possibly just for looks and only the little houses are usable? Can you get into the houses?

It's not on the gallery website, you can find it on the gallery of the game. Only the castle is furnished, the houses are empty.

Do you know where the problem is?
Get the sim walk bit by bit and when they get stuck you'll see the place,fix that part.

I have no solution I just wanted to say that is a beautiful lot!

@CaioSantos What do you mean gallery of the game? Not in the game's community gallery? Did it appear in your 'My Library' along with one of the packs/updates? (Then I wouldn't find it as I just cleared out some things yesterday and don't see it there in mine.) Not sure I'm understanding correctly what you mean...

Yes, the game's community gallery. Search by ID, hers is SarahAmina. The name of the lot is Castle On The Hill.

Curiosity got the best of me so I downloaded and checked the lot out myself. The routing problem is on the pathway area right before the stairs into the house proper. To make it functional, just go into build mode and use the terrain tools to smooth that section of pathway a bit more for the 10-15' right before the stairs. Basically from the bottom of the stairs to the 2nd building down. Took about 3 seconds to fix it.

Only problem then is, once it is fixed, I couldn't get enough flat terrain for the Humidor shed that is beside that building right by the house to remain. I didn't try very hard though.

Edit to add: Just a suggestion, but if you want to try to preserve that shed, maybe put a wall around it so it is considered part of the little building itself...then smooth the terrain. That might preserve the terrain under the shed so that it can stay there. I already exited the game when I thought of that, but figured I'd share the idea if you want to try it @CaioSantos.
