@sleepyillusion 4 жыл бұрын

Players that didn't grow up with sims 3 would say other wise. But me, (Someone who grew up with sims 3) I think that sims 4 was a mess to begin with. The packs are getting messier (We had pets then another pack for pets. They should have puts them into one pack), they removed the color wheel (We can omly use it for pets), Mermaids are useless (No morr utopia or resorts), and it just really sucks. I prefer 3.

@kiwifruitkl 3 жыл бұрын

You should use constrainFloorElevation. Powerful and very useful. You can make attached car garages, which were actually very important in the Sims 2, because Sims could drive inside the garage. Sims 3 Sims don’t need attached garages simply because Sims don’t have the getting inside or outside the vehicle animations anymore. You can also make split-level staircases and split-level homes with the ConstrainFloorElevation cheat. However, the walls will warp so you may try a solid-color wall paint for coating.

@GirlMeetsPixels 3 жыл бұрын

Yes it really is such a useful tool! In episode 3 of this series, I show how to use CFE to make a connected garage ☺️ I also talk about what kind of siding/wallpaper to use to hide the warping. Thanks for watching! 💖
