Post the pictures of sim houses in your game
Cinamun:
Thanks everyone! Im working on another loft as we speak/type ;)
Comical I adore the industrial theme you have going, I like the clean lines.
How do you get the cars parked out front?
I have a nightclub in Veronaville called "Stilletos" LOL I actually tried to design it like a shoe (a stilletto) but failed miserably and withered it down to a nifty little one story rectangle. Im going to try the shoe idea again tho... one day lol
Jenna:
Thanks, Cinamun! It's funny, most of my industrial attempts usually end up as a little rectangle themselves :P
As for the street parking/sideways driveways, it's drop dead simple to do. I went ahead and wrote up a little tutorial on how to do this:
Sideways/On the Street Parking
Note: This tutorial requires the Nightlife expansion pack.
First, turn on the cheat "moveobjects on", and place any driveways you need to first. This is important, because you won't be able to do so after performing the next step. See the notes below for more information.
Secondly, select a floor tile (any), hold down control, and delete the tile as directed by this picture. Replace the tile afterwards with the "Discrete Concrete" tile, found under the 'Misc' category in the floor tile section.
(After performing the above step)
Now, select a driveway extension piece, and you should notice it's horizontal. Congratulations! That's all there is to it. Now place the extension pieces wherever you need/want them.
Some Other Notes
- Once step 2 is performed, it becomes permanent. You'll never be able to revert any future driveways on the lot back to their normal vertical state. Also, moving any pre-existing driveways will cause them to turn horizontal as well.
- Placing cars on the street can potentially block any NPC services (maid, pizza delivery, school bus, carpool, etc) that visit your house.
- The direction the extension pieces face seems to be random. Experiment with corner lots to get the direction you desire.
- Just for a bit of clarity, the above changes only affect the lot your performing them on. The rest of your neighborhood isn't affected.
Hope that wasn't too confusing. Do enjoy!
Cinamun:
WOW!!!!! Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much for that!!! *prints this page*
And you're right, that was incredibly simple LOL I'll definitely be using this technique in my homes. Again, THANKS!
Jenna:
You're welcome, Cinamun! Have fun with it!
Dinki:
Oh wow, thanks for that, Sis! I`ve seen some tuts about it, but never tried it in game. It`s perfect for small lots.

Guess what I was doing instead of working :P
