Welcome to my Sims 2 Blog!

This blog is to keep track of all my Sims 2 (TS2) stuffeths. I mostly "build" - houses, apartments, recreational, and community lots - but, I also create walls (and murals), floors, terrain paint, and various other recolors. And I've written a few tutorials too. 😁

All of my items are available through Mod the Sims - MTS2: CatherineTCJD.

Most of my stuff is also posted on Tumblr: A Peacock's Tale.

And I'm slowly adding things to Simblr: CatherineTCJD.

I also have an archive of everything I have made on SFS: CatherineTCJD.

Thank you for visiting!

Tutorial: Grid-Adjuster for Basic 2-Click Foundations and/or Flat Roofs

This tutorial gives the Basic settings to use in the Grid-Adjuster to create 2-Click Foundations, 2-Click Flat Roofs, and a Combination of both

YOU WILL NEED...
Mootilda's Grid-Adjuster Tool ...obviously!

AND I SUGGEST READING...
Moo's own G-A Tutorial
Shasta's Little Decks Tutorial (Similar tutorial, but with a different approach.)
My other Grid-Adjuster Tutorial - which goes waaaay 🥱 more in-depth!

__________________________________________

This tutorial assumes you are already familiar with TS2 building techniques and the Grid-Adjuster (Confused by it, maybe? But, you've looked into it before.)

General G-A Instructions: (how to read/understand the G-A tool)

 


>>> To create a house on a 2-Click Foundation.

These are the basic settings:


This will create a house similar to this one: Anne

*NOTE: Large dogs can only get inside a 2-click foundation house with HL's SimplePassageStairs, (which must be added to the house while it is at 4-Clicks.)OR if you have Simler90's StairMods. All other Sims will be fine, however.

If you are building a 1-Click Foundation - ALL sims will need HL's SimplePassageStairs to get inside.

 

>>> To create a house with 2-Click Flat Roof.

These are the basic settings:


This will create a house similar to this one: Black Pearl Sunset



>>> If you want a combination - 2-Click Foundation AND a 2-Click Flat Roof:
These are the setting for a 1-Story House -

 This will create a house similar to this one: Studio 1162 SFH


If you are building a 2-Story house -
instead of "20", you would use "36"
Here's the math...
foundation = 2 clicks
1st floor = 16 clicks
2nd floor = 16 clicks
2-Clk Flat Roof = 2 clicks
Added up, and you get 36

A 3-Story house would be... 52 clicks? You got this


If you have any Grid-Adjuster questions, please post a comment below. I haven't learned everything there is to know about it yet, but I'm gaining lots of experience, and I'll help if I can!

Thanks for this tut! I hardly use the grid adjustor but 2 click foundation homes are really darling and this helps me to understand it! Someday I will try my hand it! I'm just really slow to get started.
