Hey, I watching a speed build on youtube by xurbansimsx and I'm building the same house in my game game by fallowing along with her. Here is the video and the part with the garage door is at the timestanp of 0.24 and when she places the garage door it sits on the ground. When I go to place that it just pops up on top of the foundation. I tried with the moveobjects cheat on but it still did that. Oh, that garage door is actually cc and she listed the site in the description when you can download it. Please let me know. Thanks.

I have worked around this by using the MOO cheat to place the garage door first, and then building the foundation over it.

If that doesn't work put it in the basement and raise it ising moo.

Or you can just not use MOO or a CC door but use a roof piece as a ramp.https://68.media.tumblr.com/c454c0cb5832c1e45dec9fdca52b3716/tumblr_or0ki37GA51v8k7elo1_1280.pngIt probably looks the nicest with a low foundation, or else you'd end up with a rather steep ramp.

THAT IS SO CLEVER OMG.

How do I get this garage door to sit on the ground instead of popping up on top of the foundation?

I really like the roof as a ramp advice. Awesome job!

Thanks. That's sort of good, it's good because you don't have to clean it, but it would have been a great opportunity for mischievous sims to annoy the heck out of their neighbors by defacing their house every now and then. >:)

Yeah, like what MDianaSanders said. My sims usually don't autonomously start spray painting, or at least I don't think they would, but my sims also have other more fun things to do at home. :D

I was thinking about other sims (walk bys etc) randomly spray painting, like they do in San Myshuno on the ground. Residential lots probably work differently though when it comes to those items.

@MDianaSanders I wish I had thought of that! Now I'm going to update some of my builds to try it out.

In a city you get a lot of gratuitous graffitti on any surface available anyway so the use of the CL item is quite realistic to me. At least it will be more artistic than some we have here. :)

Hey guys, randomly happened upon this thread and guess what... I created a functional conversion from S3 to S4 of the Closure Garage Door. Grab it in my studio over at sims4studio. Complete with open and closed states.

That is brilliant.
