    Loved the video! Here’s a tip: when deleting the fence, instead of using the hammer tool, use the wall tool, and draw a wall over the fence while holding ctr. That will then delete the fence

    Figured out how to connect platform to foundation! (just happened by accident after watching your video)
    Place the platform in size you want on the size and then just take it and move it in the space between platform and foundation 😊 it connects, and if the size doesn't match you have to take it out on the side, resize and put back in place 😊

      Ive been looking for a way to connect foundations and platforms, so thanks for this. Ive tried it several times but the front of the platform glitches out and you can see straight through it. :( Wish they would fix this so we could use them this way. I will keep looking. :)
      EDIT: My mistake i was using the FLATSQUARE tool as you can do platforms using that as well. It works if you use the actually platform square tool. You wouldnt know ive been building since sims 1 tut tut lol. I cant use the terrain tool very well either.. Its not as good as sims 3. Thanks again. I hope someone uploads a vid of this because its hard to explain for sure.

    How to place platforms against foundation: build foundation, build platforms away from foundation, pick up each platform step (from furthest away from foundation to closet) and place them where you want them leading up to the last platform, which should be at the same level as the foundation, between the last platform placed and the foundation.

    • @EvaRotky
      @EvaRotky  Před 3 lety +1

      It’s working again wooo 🙌🏻😀 you just have to make sure there’s a gap between the foundation and platform, then build your platform somewhere else where it’s not connected to anything, make it the right size and height (this is important, raise it up to the level you’d like it to be) and then move it into the gap between platform and foundation :) if there is no platform there it’ll automatically connect to the foundation unfortunately. Also once you’ve placed it in there and it worked you won’t be able to connect or drag any walls so I recommend leaving it somewhere on the side until you’re fully done and then add it as a final touch :) hope that helps ☺️

    Did you ever figure out how you got the platform to connect to the foundation? That's one of my big gripes about the tool. I built a really cool walkway up to a house and bridging the gap with stairs ruined the look. Same with a set of wraparound stairs down to a pool. A couple more things I hate about them;
    1) you can't put stuff under them like you could with an actual platform.
    2) they only work in full block increments. So platform stairs take up twice as much space as regular stairs.

      Make sure you’re actually using the platform tool and not the foundation tool, the platform tool only changes the platform height, the foundation changes the entire house height. Make sure the platforms aren’t connected to the foundation yet when doing their heights because that can bug out. Hope that helps
