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.
I'm not a builder, really, so I am happy to admire everyone else's builds,
and what they can do with MOO , or just generally creative no CC solutions . 😃
