How do I stop snow from getting in

I made a slanted window for a loft build I’m making and I have two questions: 1. It’s winter and snow is getting inside the house. I’m attaching a photo. There is a ceiling built and I build half wa...

    If there aren’t full walls enclosing the space, the game considers the area outside. I’m not sure exactly what you mean by “building a slanted window” - do you just have walls on three sides and then a glass roof? That’s what the photos look like to me. The problem is that because there’s no wall on that fourth side, you don’t have a completed indoor space.

    Okay, yeah I figured that was the case. Someone made a tutorial on how to make a slanted window (like it’s just slanted inwards like some loft style homes have. I can’t explain it lol) anyway, I just deleted the wall, and you make a column using the wall tool on either side and in one column you leave a wall open so it won’t delete the roof. You size the roof down and extend the roof trim (instead of using the arrow to change the length of the entire roof, you use that triangle one to just extend the trim. Sorry I’m still getting use to names. You extend it to the other column and it makes a slanted window. But the tutorial didn’t mention that it wouldn’t work in the winter without snow getting in. Which is fine, but I’d also hoped there was a way around that and a way around it changing the lighting. I figured there wasn’t but thought I’d ask to be sure. Thank you 🙂

      Ah, yeah, you have to be careful with building hacks/tricks. Not all of them are meant to be usable in gameplay; sometimes it’s just for the artistry of getting a build to look just right. It’s a cool trick if you look at it in summer (or don’t have seasons)!
