How do you get the diagonal half tiles for flooring?
I'm working on updating some of my lots for my story, so they don't look nearly so set-like (and I might actually be able to take pictures with them :joy:). However, I'm having difficulty with putting down diagonal half tiles, where they aren't going down with a diagonal wall and room (don't get me started on room functionality >.< I can't even add-on to the room I want to.), so both sides have it. I can't remember if there's a hotkey that I can press when placing the tiles or not. For those curious, I'm currently updating my vampire council lot and making the outside look kinda like a courthouse. Floor tiles inside the flowerbed with a tree just looks wrong.
Henford-On-Bagley and Down the Hogwarts Rabbit Hole I Go
Join me in my descent to a place I did not expect to go this year. :) I sent my sim on a trip to sell vegetables in Henford and had them explore the land later. There is a 64x64 property and I was wondering what I should put there. It then crossed my mind that it would be a perfect location for Hogwarts. But Hogwarts was the problem. As much as I like to build, Hogwarts would probably take a lot of my time. Fortunately other simmers don't have that problem, so I went to the gallery. Wow, this is convincing enough to draw me in. But being a builder myself, I immediately began changing things. First deleting details I felt were unnecessary. This build has wonderful details, but too much. I need the place to be playable, so I removed enough stuff to make it still feel nicely detailed. Then I added some portals to blend in Realm of Magic game play. Never mind that "no one can apparate into Hogwarts" rule. Albus and Hogwarts Students. You can't have Albus without students, and you can't have students without teachers. How am I going to play this without it feeling really lackluster? Albus Dumbledore, 7 students, no teachers. But this office... so nice... More Hogwarts Tweaking. This build is really wonderful, but as I played, I found myself wanting to change things and add things. (rabbit hole descent) First off, one of my changes needed to go. This convenient portal is great at getting my sims deep into the building quickly, but also anyone else who happens along. I put it inside to keep out trespassers. Gameplay It is really strange to have a school of magic where the majority of student time is spent in Muggle Studies. I guess I could pretend they are off to class with Hagrid, or out in the fields and forest with Professor Sprout. Yeah, that will do. And being the only educator, what does Dumbledore do? The Real Deal. I downloaded a temporary set of Potter characters, but I could not help tweaking them. These may serve as the ones I use with more tweaking. Where is Ron? It Figures. He has the Foodie trait. Nice call by the creator. I hope it doesn't make him overweight. I may have to install a gym. November 15th, 2023 The Expansion pack, The Sims 4: For Rent will dramatically change what I can do with the following, making things I thought were impossible, possible.
Saving lots to own library broken?
Made some house lots that are worth keeping for future use and tried saving them to the my library part of the gallery. Even got the green box that says the saving was successful. But, when going into library to fetch one for use none of them were there. Am I doing something wrong, the green box notwithstanding, or is that function broken?
