Try either playing with the curvature, adding upper-floor boxes, or building tall chimneys to increase wall detail.That same interest has translated over to The Sims, in part because building such a small house that can fit all the basics–and that Sims characters can still use–is a difficult proposition in virtual space, too. We can fix that by making the walls taller, the roof shorter, and adding a few more details. Notice how our example build has a lot of roof compared to our wall space. Actually, this is the step that most people skip, and the step that can make even the fanciest build look bad: proportion. Now just because the roofing flows doesn’t mean that we’re done detailing with shape.
After you know where other roofs need to go, have fun experimenting with the roofs and flow until you get a good complex. Going back to the example build, you can easily tell where accent roofs are needed after the main roof goes up. If you’re working with roofs that don’t intersect, make sure that nothing is poking out, roof slopes are parallel, and flat roofs are outlined. You can tell if it’s flowing if the edges and outlines match. Raise or lower the accent roofs to match the flow of the main roof. Pick materials that can guide you through the roofing process having a dark roof color and a big outline makes determining roof flow a lot easier. Gabled, half-gabled, and hipped roofs are the go-to choices since they don’t look odd when sized up. Roofing looks difficult, but it can actually be a fun little puzzle to attempt if you go slowly and patiently.įirst, pick the style of roof that will go on your main box. Oh, roofing: a scary word in the world of The Sims. Keeping one large, main shape makes things easier later on when thinking about roofing. Notice that the box is still the main shape, and none of the additions are competing with it due to size. You can see that porches are added as well, since they can also draw notice away from the large, flat walls. In our example build, we are going to add different sections on to the main box. Notice that by adding extensions, alcoves, columns, and dividers, not only do you make the wall appear more busy, but you also make a great framework for adding decorative items later on! The two walls below are exactly the same, except for the 3D effects that are added. No colors right now, no textures, just working with the flatness of the walls. Once you’ve found areas that are a bit too big and in need of detail, you can add some by changing the shape.
