    Nobody else said anything about it so I will. I couldn’t find the slider for foundation and was really confused, but if you click on a room and drag it up it will create a foundation. To get the foundation design you want, go to the foundation tool and use it like you do with wall design/paper

    @marecormier2065 Před 7 lety +1489

    Wow! Kayla, you didn't just give useful tips and show examples of how to apply them. You gave me confidence to try...again. It's important because I have a game going with my almost 5 year old grand daughter. She wants her uncle & family in our game and she's very clear on what kind of house we have to build for uncle Benny. Now, because of you...I think we can. Thank you.

    To rotate freely:
    1. Go to the camera menu in the top right
    2. Select sims 3 camera
    3. Place the object
    4. Hold alt and click and hold the object. Moving your mouse will rotate the object.

      I just did mine at 5 in the morning and finished at like 6 ( since I used every single thing she used) but I didn’t do the inside...

    Thanks for this! My rock pond appreciates it. I've never seen my sims so happy and eager to jump in the pool without being commanded to do so. Now I gotta tell them to get out of the pool. You're a VERY good noodle indeed! (All this, and I haven't even seen your landscaping video yet!) Super inspiring.
