The space creature wreck from Alien looks like the microscope of Sims4

Now we know what aliens will look like if they ever introduce them to this game =)

I was just saying this today!!! I am hoping this new pack coming out has a smaller version of the telescope!

This is something that I found a bit perplexing myself. Especially with the lack of larger lot sizes, why would they decide to make this objects so massive in stature. If you have a family with multiple careers/hobbies it's almost impossible to put everything in their backyard. More so now that pools have returned.

Originally, I started building vertically to allow for more yard space; however, since we can't build beyond 3 stories that really didn't help at all. I thought about making a flat rooftop and use it (which works nice in Oasis Springs, but looks out of place in Willow Creek).

A massive microscope and massive observatory on the roof... that's a sad thing to have to resort to :( hope it doesn't look too awful

Just to add to the silliness of this design decision is that fact that they are so damned noisy

Your house looks really nice :) But agreed, it won't work with all design types. What about my cabin scientists :(

Very well done! It looks great! I have a microscope on the balcony of my willow creek house but it takes up like 80% of the space xD

You can use the microscope by making it smaller. I have used it for my balcony and it fits just right. To scale things bigger or smaller make sure you have the cheats on: (PS4) - press all four buttons (L1, L2, R1 and R2. Then type TESTINGCHEATS TRUE (no caps). Then do the same and type BB.MOVEOBJECTS ON (no caps). To scale bigger/smaller items press L2 + R2 + left or right on D-pad. (PC/LAPTOP) its: HOLD SHIFT + USE to scale.
