Re: How to keep walls from extending up through roofs

@crashleigh1842 What a lovely home!  Thank you for sharing that image.  I made a second attempt to recreate your home based on that.  It's not exact since we are limited by what the game can do.  I ended up extending the bay window by one tile to accommodate a larger window, otherwise the roofline is the same albeit a bit wider.  Instead of using half gabled roofs, I was able to just drag a gabled roof across the whole structure and extended the eaves so they align with the uppermost roof. (Note: This isn't in the video but I just noticed the upper level wall is covered by the roof wall covering, so to avoid this you can use the half gabled roofs like the first video I did.)  I also added a room to the right of the front door as seen in your image.  I wasn't sure what the roof looked like there, so I used a half hipped roof for that.  For the windows, I used some from Cats & Dogs and one from Spa Day.  Those are the only ones I could find that resembled those in your image.  I tried various columns trying to match the trim on either side of the front window.  I thought the rounded columns looked better than the square ones.  Anyway, let me know if you have any questions about this.

Edit: I forgot to mention this build is on Hallow Slough in Willow Creek which is 30x20.  If you would like to have it, just let me know and I can share it to the gallery. :-)

  • Aw I love all the effort and landscaping that you put into it for such a silly question! Thank you! 
    I've built out the house following these recommendations and it's as close as I think we can get (: 
    Now I'd like to just demand more flexible roof functionality in future games xD

    Thank you so much
