Fun with MOO 🔧 (moveobjects on)
Do you use the Moo (moveobjects on) cheat for other than just moving the furniture around? Maybe you even build completely new objects by moving and lifting different objects together? If you want ...

Thank you for the tip about raising the garden beds from the room below. I hadn’t thought of trying that even though I have seen that technique used on YouTube to create a functional bathroom under the stairs.
The structure I was planning will end up quite tall as I was hoping to use a hidden path sloping up to a rock climbing wall to take the sim to the top. I’m hoping to have water trickling or cascading over the climbing wall as well to partially disguise it (as long as sims can still use it like that). Then I was actually thinking of using the diving platform that has the water fountain and disguising it with lots of crystals and rocks. I will probably need 3 levels of platforms and small pools to get all the way down to the ground level platform and pool. I was planning to use the glowing walls and floor (spa pack) for the pools so it is very mystical and magical as well. There are lots of vibrant jewel colours so each pool area can be themed around a specific colour. I may even include some of the alien plants. I want the “cave” to become an adventure in that sim storyline. I agree that the new crystal tree will fit into this garden cave perfectly. I might even have to include a wedding arch somewhere in the plan as well for that special wedding for the adventurous couple.
I was planning for there to be an abandoned mostly-collapsed building above with a broken greenhouse that has some plants still growing ‘wild’ and have an overgrown fishing hole at the other end of the block of land.
I have the plan outlined in my notebook and even more details in my mind. I’m just not sure I have the ability (or patience) to do this; so I will probably be asking for advice several times. I get very self-critical and frustrated with myself far too quickly since the workplace injuries especially on the rough days when pain levels are nasty. It will definitely be a long slow challenging build but will be worth it in the end. I just have to keep in mind that image of my adventurous couple’s wedding weekend.
This sounds so amazing and I'd love to see screenshots of the progress or the finished garden.
And I think sharing your experiences and asking will help you keep going. And I too think it will be worth it in the end.
But I also must say that, even when I don't finish a build (and there are many ^^') I never regretted building it.
I always learn something new and I get new ideas from the things I've learned.
Building is one of the few things that keeps me focussed (I have ADHD) and I can dive in so deep that I get into a flow and forget about time, my troubles and pain.
So building is never lost time for me ^^
Here are a few pics of my ingame waterfalls, also placed with MOO. If I remember right, they come from the Island Living and Cottage Living buydebug.
The waterfall in the second and third pic is also raised from the basement because it's bigger than the pool.
The builds that you have posted pictures of are lovely! @LennyOgg 🙂 They are very creatively designed. The waterfalls are very pretty.
It is true that we can learn a lot through building and working on ideas, however they work out. We can find out new things as we try out things in a new way or look for solutions.
@LennyOggThe recycler! Haha, no, didn't spot that, but of course that would produce the perfect animation.
The move-up from the room below trick has helped me a lot, too. Here's an imperfect example where raising the object from the room below wasn't feasible, on account of this build being an oil rig that sits on a pool. With no room below, there was no grid to help me orientate, so I opted for the imperfect look as a compromise between visuals and too much fiddling.
Still, seeing my sims clean the oil pipes was fun:
Your oil rig build is great! @EnkiSchmidt 🙂 It is very creative the way you used the woodworking tables! It is a great idea.
