The Sims 3 Building A skyscraper Tutorial.

[Kathy5583]

Ummmm, and when you bring the ground level up use a wall to make sure it is totally even or the bottom door will not go in.

[Kathy5583]

Thank you so much for this. Now, if we can figure out how to get an elevator in. I made a building and re-posted it to the Sim site and yes, I pointed everyone to this tutorial that you made.

[TuReal4Lyfe]

@Kathy5583 I really appreciate that thank you. I dont think you will ever be able to make an elevator in these kind of buildings or be able to occupy them. It would be cool though.

[Kathy5583]

@TuReal4Lyfe Yes you can! Go check mine out at the sims 3 site. I am Simcousin there. Just add the elevator first AND do not delete the foundation. :)

[Kathy5583]

@Kathy5583 And also I added just the shell to the building for anybody wanting to make their own thing from it.

how do u get the walls to connect with each other

[ElmigoMUSICS]

You forgot to tell people to turn on the cheat ContrainFloorElevation False (or is it just me that it doesn't work without that code?)

[TuReal4Lyfe]

@ElmigoMUSICS You only use that cheat when you creating certain things such as a "garage". Using that cheat on this will distort things a little. What part are you stuck at?

[ElmigoMUSICS]

@TuReal4Lyfe Well, if I have ConstrainFloorElevation False activated, then I create a full square room (with no missing parts), then I raise the terrain in the middle of it, and when I put a foundation on it the walls automatically raise! :O

[TuReal4Lyfe]

@ElmigoMUSICS You can do it that way but with that cheat, it tends to make things more difficult and become "haywire". I use to actually use that cheat when creating buildings until I discovered you didnt have to. To each their own.

[ElmigoMUSICS]

@TuReal4Lyfe as I see in the video. I forgot to have a further look after I managed to raise the walls. Now I watched the full video an I'd like to say thanks, it works even without the cheat! =)

[TuReal4Lyfe]

@ElmigoMUSICS Lol no problem,, thats why I made the video. At the time I created the video, I didnt know you could record over 60 seconds in the game. Thats why the video moves so fast so sorry about that lol.

[ElmigoMUSICS]

@TuReal4Lyfe it's understandable, no problem :P

[MisterAlexadner]

uh no no no

[Chipexcess]

Nice tutorial for the super fast reader. Could've made the messages slower for goodness sake.

[TuReal4Lyfe]

@Chipexcess Bitch stfu, thats why theres a pause button.

[amlive66]

what do u have to do to have people live in a builing i created pleaseeee tell me!!!???

[TuReal4Lyfe]

@amlive66 You cant live in them, there just for show. I made this tutorial before The Sims Late Night came out.

[amlive66]

@TuReal4Lyfe oh k thanxs



[HaloMaster441]

what do you mean "LOWERING THE WALLS" PLEzzzzz tell me ={

[TuReal4Lyfe]

@HaloMaster441 When you lower the UPPER level walls (depending on how many "levels" you made) it just helps you SEE the foundation because you have to delete each foundation square. That is all. So once the ENTIRE foundation is deleted, you rebuild WALLS in the same outline as where the foundation was which will create tall walls (the building sides). Hope that helps.

[TheGreengirl14]

well how do u deleate the foundation and put the walls up?

[YouStoleMyTube]

But can the sims actually go on each level?

[TuReal4Lyfe]

@YouStoleMyTube No none of the buildings are non habitable unless you just create a 6 or 5 story (on a foundation) building.

[LEIREANN]

Thanks for that. Works well. Anyone who claims it doesn't work isnt doing it correctly. When done correctly it works.

[akinkhoo]

the problem with the terrain raise method is it screw up the outdoor lighting, u can't light up the building created in this method because the wall still think it near the ground while the light think it is way up in the sky. if you build a normal 5 storey building next to it and stick alot of light you will see the wall on the tower light up... that the only way to get lighting on tall towers... =\

[antomartyenico]

It works but I can't get the reflecting texture! the metal material works for indoor walls but for outdoor it looks dark grey without reflecting! could someone help me???

[TuReal4Lyfe]

@antomartyenico Its not going to be reflective like a mirror. Change the color to like blue. Make sure you use the most reflective metal pattern. I want to say they silver one is and just change the color. Or the black chrome one.

[RayMaster67]

Now I'm going off to build on other people's lots to turn Twinbrook into a city xD

[TuReal4Lyfe]

@topgear905 If it "fails epicly" then why is everyone else saying "it actually worked"? Maybe you just dont know what your doing. Furthermore, I'm not going to sit here and try to explain to you how to build it. The video is there. Slow it down, rewind it, do what you need to. But to say it "epci fails" because you dont know what your doing is stupid.

[TuReal4Lyfe]

@topgear905 Lol the video is SHOWING you how to do it. There is other people testimonials exclaiming how it worked. But your saying it doesnt work? LOL

[bladelovers]

wow amazsing it actually worked, fantastic!!! so FREAKIN' COOL

[TuReal4Lyfe]

@bladelovers No doubt! Thanks for watching.

[lollmao222]

I need this game.. I been playing Sim City 4 for the longest time & its confusing as hell.. this looks more easier.

[TuReal4Lyfe]

@lollmao222 This is Thesims 3. Simcity 4 is easy once you get use to it.

[lollmao222]

@TuReal4Lyfe yeah..I guess. I tend to over spend my budget & put myself in debt lol

[TuReal4Lyfe]

@lollmao222 Do u kno how to install custom made buildings? Theres a building on simtropolisDOTcom that can give you $50,000.00 in increments for free.

[coochi6]

How did you know how to raise the terrain to a height that the floors below would simply fit in?

[zellski1234]

hey but how high should you RAIZE terrain

[TuReal4Lyfe]

@zellski1234 Which ever height you like. There's a limit so it doesnt matter. The higher you go, the taller youre building gets.

[ID40651]

Works 100% thanks very much !!

[princeeboy1]

i tried to make the tahj mahal once

[zellski1234]

they kind of look like londons skyscrapers

[TuReal4Lyfe]
