How to Walk (or Live) on Water
nullspacenancy replied to your photo:I think this little building with the domed roof... Wait how did you build on water?
Hi nullspacenancy! I didn’t actually build on water, I brought the water to my buildings. The trick with building the ship in the pool is to build the ship first (or island if that is what you’re looking to create, and then build the pool around it and bring the pool edges to your building.
For example; say you wanted to build a cozy little houseboat similar to this one :
Start by building your house. You can decorate it later but I’ve gone ahead and built and decorated this one for the purposes of this mini tutorial.
Next, either use the pool line tool (this is what I use), or plop down a square of pool near the house: Then you just drag the pool edges to the edge of your building, and wherever else you want them like in the picture below.
Once you’ve got the pool the way you want it, add a few pool ladders so your Sims can get out again, and enjoy your new houseboat.
Hope this explained everything. If not, I’ve gone ahead and uploaded this lot to my simdoughnut gallery so you can look at it more closely if you’d like. Just go to my gallery, hit the “include custom content” button in the advanced options on the lower left side, and look for the “Cozy Little Houseboat” lot in residential, or use the hashtags #houseboat or #tutorial.
