Hi SpikeMike,
many thanks for the tip. I tested the building with 2 other copies in my neighbourhood and on another computer, too, without this problem. So I hardly believe it. I'll try again.
Concerning the "secret":
There is no secret but only a puzzle of several cheats! Everybody could do it.
I can't descibe it by mind, so I'll build another basement garage and write down the several steps. I'll post a description here within the next days.
Greetings, hexameter
Here we go:
20 Steps to your own Basement Garage
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Make sure to save several times after using the cheats, you never can tell ...
1. Build a basement (7x9) in a distance of 8 squares from the sidewalk
(and as far away from the left border of the lot as you want)
- view from the street -
2. Put a driveway leading to the basement on your lot
3. Delete the basement (5x8) from the future garagedoor
4. 1 level down
5. Put the "parkingplace" into the empty garage
6. Lower the ground outside where you deleted the future garage (wallhight);
best to use a wall as a mesure
7. "boolprop constrainFloorElevation false"
8. Flatten the ground from outside to inside of the garage;
1 row of squares in front of the garage has also to be flat
9. Go on modelling the downway to the garage as you like (lowertool);
Make sure the first row of squares in front of the basement is the same level as the garagefloor
10. 1 level up
11. Flatten the top of the garage/basement
12. 1 level down
13. Delete the wall serving as mesure and flatten the outside terrain; correct the basementfloor (1 level up + flattentool)
14. "boolprop constrainFloorElevation true"
15. Build the frontwall for the garagedoor
16. "moveObjects on" (maybe not needed)
17. Put the garagedoor in the frontwall
18. 1 level up
19. "moveObjects off" (to be sure)
20. Choose a floorcover and put it on the floor
That's all - you got your basement garage! No secret - no big deal.
Congratulations!
It's up to you to build the house of your sim's dreams around.
(If requested I would offer this with some pictures)
Thank you for being curious to learn how it works.
