Sims 4 Tutorial - Functional Attic & Roof Windows | Kate Emerald

In this The Sims 4 tutorial I teach you how to build a functional attic that your Sims can use including roof windows and a roof balcony. Weather does not affect the Sims inside the attic so it's fully functional. In this video I explain step by step how you can not only build the attic but also how you can add skylights/roof windows and the roof balcony.
By default attics do not exist in The Sims 4 but with this little trick you can make your houses more realistic and let your Sims move into the attic. The roof balcony is a special eyecatcher that make your builds more unique.

honestly I think the most mindblowing part about this is that shift trick! How did I not know about that before!

Hey, my first house was a box-ey nightmare, but it gets easier! I love to casually watch videos like this whenever or while I play and you pick up all sorts of tricks. And if you're a hands on learner - I sometimes watch tutorials for a build technique and then go to the property in the gallery and place it so I can take that piece apart and mess with it in the correct context

@chemi7591 5 лет назад

Im sooo mad I never knew about the shift only doing one side of the roof. Thank you!

@magdalena_dewinter 4 года назад

For ps4 players, hold square when bringing the roof back for the window, keep you finger on square when you press x to set it, works like the shift key.

@wild_gypsy_rose 4 года назад

I think it's genuinely hard to make good tutorial videos, or at least I find it hard to find good tutorial videos haha, but this was SUCH a helpful video. The info was laid out so so so well and really helped me follow along at a perfect pace without having to pause/replay or having to sit through any rambling that made it difficult to focus, and I have difficulty parsing info like this sometimes. Such clever building too, the amount of times I actually gasped lol. Love the balcony option too. Thank you so much!!!

@cuhhheesecuff419 4 года назад

You guys can also hold down ALT to customize the roof height and curve. So your roof will always line up, no matter what size each piece of roof is. Just in case no one knew about that, and the shift button. If you don't want the little wall under your roof windows or just prefer to have it see through on both sides, make the glass roof wall's a 1x1 square. And use the SHIFT button to slide the roof edges. Not the wall. If you want a good example of this check out Kate's other video for angled window facades!

@moonlitxangel5771 3 года назад

That's the frustrating part about it. You *cannot* remove the roof walls (as far as I'm aware) so you have to just deal with having the room end there. The other bad part about this is that whatever you decide the roof wall color to be that'll be what the wall color of your room has to be due to the way roofs function.
