This is a quick tutorial detailing how to use the Grid-Adjuster to make a sloped area like the house has. It's too long to post the whole thing here on tumblr - but click through to either MTS, Simblr, or my Blog to get the whole thing. Thanks!🦚

The house will be Downloadable when I'm done with it. ;)

I’m not much of a builder, but I’m pleased with this. I wanted a playhouse that looks like a playhouse, not like a smaller house or tiny build. My first one had a cute playhouse look. I gave the big house a dummy level and big plants and the little one the “same” siding but downsized. The contrast was cute, but it had a play issue. You could not see into the playhouse without lowering the house to the foundation. :P The houses needed the same number of levels, at least up to the play level.

The second one is, I hope, still cute. I used Grid Adjuster, so the playhouse now has a 2-click foundation so it plays better. But, then, I wanted more contrast between the big house and the playhouse, so I went and made the big house a 5-click foundation. It’s a bit much, architecturally, for this small house, but I think it works for contrast. I also fixed an issue with the regular Unexpected siding where it was making a ridge between levels. All much tidier. Anyway, it’s cute, and it’ll play better now. It’s a guilty parent present from Trent Traveller to Tina. She wanted a tree house, but Trent, the former lawyer, didn’t want the liability. :)

Found this lot I was working on before I took a 6-month-long break from it: attempting a science centre with a secret basement (using GridAdjuster). 

No-Slope Basement TEMPLATE lots - in 3 sizes - DIY your own building

Have you ever wanted to build a lot with a no-slope basement - but the Grid-Adjuster confuzzled you? Well, now you can! ...With these new, handy-dandy, No-Slope Basement TEMPLATE lots.

There are limits of course... the big one being that you canNOT change the foundation - at ALL. But, there are 3 sizes/shapes available. All are built on regular sized Maxis lots ...with the sun coming from the front. They come with the standard 4-step foundation, or in a 2-step foundation version. And each has space for a driveway (the gravel is just a placement suggestion!)

- Small = 2X2 with a square shaped foundation - Medium = 3X2 with a "L" shaped foundation - Large = 3X3 with a "U" shaped foundation

Each lot has an easily identifiable custom thumbnail. They have been cleaned/compressed with Chris Hatch's Lot Compressor.

Building Tutorial - How to Build Into a Hill with the Grid-Adjuster

I've had a few people ask about building into hills and on uneven terrain, both here and on MTS; so I thought I'd do up a quick pictorial...

Please click through to MTS to see more. :D

The Sallinger

4 bedrooms - 5 bathrooms (2 are half baths) - garage - roof deck, porch, fishing pond - 6-Click Foundation with a No-Slope Basement)

~~~ Absolutely NO CC ~~~

This is a pet-friendly, pet-ready, and pet-tested home. Enjoy!

This is the original floorplan. I only had to make a few TS2 adjustments... like the step-up from the foyer to the main house - that didn't happen. I also added the no-slope basement. And, I really wanted to use that lovely flat roof as a deck. I hope your sims won't mind  ;)

Building this one really strained my brain  But, I think I have a pretty good understanding of how the Grid-Adjuster works now (at least as far as foundations and split-level construction goes!) . Thank you, Mootilda for the awesome Grid Adjuster tool. This lot was also shrunk with her Lot Adjuster - even though it is a standard sized lot (I started out on a bigger lot, cuz I wasn't sure...)   Please scroll through all the pictures at MTS to see everything this house has to offer. The house is lightly furnished, and decorated. All appliances, plumbing, and lighting are included. The stove and grill both have a smoke alarms. The front door is burglar alarmed. Both levels have a telephone. There is parking available for two vehicles: one in the garage, and one on the driveway. Pet items are in place - specifically for a dog. Everything was thoroughly tested with my "Big Dog" tester, Seaphus. He much preferred sleeping on the Master bed, to sleeping in the doghouse. And his favorite bone was the one in the yard. This is a clean copy of this house/lot; no sim has ever lived here. The package has been cleaned with Mootilda's Clean Installer.
