Putting a house on a hill?

I'm building a hard-to-reach house on a hill for a bunch of secluded vampires. On the left you see the hill, on the right is a premade house from Forgotten Hollow:

Now I thought I could just pick up the house and put it on the hill, but it always ends up half in the ground!

I've tried deleting the stairs and foundation, completely flattening the terrain underneath the house before moving it, turning MOO on and off, but the result is always the same. Now I'm going to start moving the rooms individually, because that works at least. But I'd still like to know what I'm doing wrong.

  • Every time this thread gets bumped up and I see it, I get Ed Sheeran's song in my head. I know the song is "castle" not "house" on the hill....but I don't control my subconscious brain.

    I'm wondering how did you place the rock climbing wall? Does that require a mod or is there a trick?


    I imagine with bb.moveobjects on cheat code. Or is there something about the placement that makes you think there was more to it?

    Unless you meant just being able to place it on the lot in the first place. That's a mod. You can get it over at MTS.

    SweetieWright_84 That's usually my preferred order to do things, too, but in this particular case, I had to build the lot around the climbing wall to keep it functional, so I figured I'd start with the hill for once. (It's not Forgotten Hollow, by the way, that's just where the premade house is from. It's the big lot in the snowy neighbourhood of Mt. Komorebi.)


    I haven't ever thought of using the climbing wall as a retaining wall. That's a great idea.

    After going back and looking at the picture, I do see that is Mt. Komorebi. It looked like Forgotten Hollow because of the darkness.

  • For anyone wondering about the climbing wall: That is a mod made by Bakie. You can get it here:

    Make sure to read the instructions, because getting the walls to look and function properly can be a little tricky.

    I searched for them in debug and live edit mode before downloading this mod, but couldn't find them, so I don't know if they're available there.

  • @GrumpyGlowfish Whenever you're done this build, to your satisfaction, I'd love if you uploaded it to the Gallery. B)
