Barn Style Roof

[Breanan]

I can't figure out how to build houses with the bar style roof. It is very frustrating as I have tried multiple attemps with terrible results. Anyone know how to build houses with these style roofs?

that is a hipped or Mansard style roof.  It is possible to get that made in the game by using the boolprop constrainFloorElevation cheat, or if you are REALLY lucky, you can sometimes manage to get the roofslopeangle cheat to do it in in an unpatched version of the game with Open For Business installed.

Neither method is really satisfying or perfect.

Yes! That is the type roof I am talking about. I have sat at my game for hours trying to figure out how to do it. Ever want to pull out all your hair? That is how bad it has bothered me. I have all the expansion including Bon Voyage. Please explain to me how it is done. I think the style is beautiful and want the satisfaction of being able to build one myself.

Thank you for taking the time to help me on this. I appreciate it and look forward to seeing your examples.
