Since we now have platforms in game (yay!), let's share some ideas of what you can do with them!Some ideas for a kids (only) bedroom:https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/495497240115412999/775803721073688586/11-10-20_8-25-38_pm.jpg?width=1116&height=628https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/495497240115412999/775806896334045224/11-10-20_8-38-53_PM.png?width=1116&height=628I also tried heightening and lowering the small sun room in one of my WIP builds:https://64.media.tumblr.com/f2216f1fb039761986638e70c56b9ba6/eaadcaaf5ee2fd91-40/s2048x3072/500041dc8f220a3b366fbd9b493a3b21e7c9c3ac.jpghttps://64.media.tumblr.com/cbcdaee8482c2af733ec5802c9dbf0a7/eaadcaaf5ee2fd91-60/s2048x3072/bca77270183071135d1133fdbaf8f4c6c4efc133.jpgAnd, my favourite yet, a small, extra, step towards the bathroom:https://64.media.tumblr.com/a3315838c6ebaa0691e2fb617fd50d18/eaadcaaf5ee2fd91-94/s2048x3072/4a00eceb78b6134581693bd8d62c21378bfae3ae.jpgThis feature has so much potential! I'd love to see/hear more ideas :)

I'm finally able to create the staircase in Croft Manor. Bit disappointed that we are limited to platform trims and can't use wallpapers https://i.gyazo.com/77b648e3a9c54ec814d703ba11d8ea1e.jpg

I only have a stage to show. :)https://i.imgur.com/mAjVcwX.png

@Simmerville Does that allow you to share a room? I discovered that platforms were breaking the room up. You can click on one side (the side without platforms and it's like there's walls that separate the other portion (the side with the platforms) so that you can't share the entire room. :open_mouth: Not that my first attempts are worthy to share, but, hey, I could do something amazing at some point. It could happen …

I see the question was already well taken care of. And I'm glad, because I never wanted to share a room, so I had no idea about this anyway :smiley:

Okay, today was an interesting day for me. I decided to start a new save and download my Global Superstar's house so that I could fool around with the platforms some more. When I attempted to make the same changes to his existing house, I ran into way too many problems. The Tool just doesn't work for me so well. (Must be me.) So, Instead, since I'd had the foresight to upload that newer version to My Library, I went into the game in progress and switched houses.

I had my share of problems:
Spoiler

Here I was attempting to restore the platform I had created at the other house.

Like that floating aspect? I found the new build system in this game to have a rather high learning curve, so I'm really not surprised at my inability to entirely grasp the platform system. But I'm stubborn, I'll keep plugging away at. One day I'll be so surprised. :p

Spoiler

After much trial and error, I finally got it looking like the experimental house. This is the Master Bathroom, and while I understand that 'try it the other way around' meant for me to sink the platform, that too, is apparently beyond my hahaha 'skill'. (Unless I'm trying to fix the floating thing going on in the backyard.:O ) But I did come up with something I like.

As you can see I've rearranged the entire room. I took out the second door, since this is the Master Bath. the door showing goes right into the Master Bedroom.

I took this one just to show it's functional. That's Erik's wife, Kayleigh.

I was also dissatisfied with how I'd done the boys' room. So, I gave it another 'go'.

Don't mind Erik, he's just inspecting the Contractor's work. ;)

Did we get a set in this game? I remember the ones from Sims3, but I don't believe I have ever come across them in Sims4. You may wish to look for some cc.

@katielouise525 and @GalacticGal those are actually kitchen utensils that I enlarged a bit. Don't know which pack they came with, but are not CC.

@Onverser Thanks for uploading your room to the gallery! I placed it and modified it a bit, of course. To fit the style and small size of that tiny living house...
