Questions about Build Mode
I'm so used to Sims 3 building that I'm (personally) having a hard time with Sims 4 building. I like to personally place every wall, window, fence, column, etc. But Sims 4 seems to really want you t...

I was not able to expand the foundation by holding down the shift key as promised. It wouldn't do it correctly. I wanted a porch on the side which didn't have steps, so I followed the lessons/tips. It didn't work. I also find I don't there is no auto roof choices for a simple house. I am used to finding the one I think works best and then clicking auto roof like in TS2. I always had to turn them off in TS3 because they were on by default. I found there are many things I can't do in this game the way I could in TS2 for sure, and or even in TS3. It was annoying and frustrating for me. I'm not a great builder, never claimed to be, but there are many features from the TS2 building options and old tools I am so used to I found the new drag and drop not worth the trade off. Like placing tiles to stop at the edge of your picture there. I was unable to do many things like that in this game.
ETA: speaking of roofs stopping where you decided they should, I also had problems with trying to get one on one lot to expand to the green edge, it ended just about 1/4 inch and no matter how much I pulled it would not go all the way to the green line where it should have expanded. I just gave up on that one and bulldozed the entire house.
I am not sure I understand what you were trying to do Cinebar...if you can show me a picture, I would be happy to see if there is a way to do it. :)
No, I don't have a picture, but let me try this. When you put on the roof it has a green outline around it, right? And you stretch that green box as far as you would like it to go when placing individual shapes etc. Well, you put it as close to the edge as possible and then begin to stretch, however, on this one house, the roof inside this little green outline would not stretch all the way to the front of the house. (I was doing this sideways btw for one section) The actual roof would stop just about 1/4 from the green edge outline where it should have filled that green box/outline. This left a gap at the edge of the front of the house about 1/4 inch or less, and would not stretch all the way to the end of the house.
Out of curiosity, do you remember which roof you were using? I think I remember encountering that with the hipped roof (I think it was called that anyway). It is the one that looked like a normal roof with four sides, right?
