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: Adding a Garage to Lowered Foundations with the Grid-Adjuster

Cross-posted to MTS2 on March 15, 2022.

This tutorial shows how to attach a garage to a "lowered foundation"
- or, actually, ANY foundation - with the Grid-Adjuster

YOU WILL NEED
Mootilda's Grid-Adjuster Tool ...obviously!
Simler90's Stair Mods to allow large dogs access to a 2-Click/2-Step Foundation House.

AND I SUGGEST READING
Moo's own G-A Tutorial
My other Grid-Adjuster Tutorials...

This tutorial assumes you are already familiar with TS2 building techniques and the Grid-Adjuster (somewhat familiar, anyway!)

Instructions:
The house built for this tutorial has specifically a 2-click/2-step foundation. BUT, the same technique can be used for regular 4-click foundations, or any height you need. Just modify the Grid-Adjuster settings accordingly.

You could've also used the foundation tool to create the foundation level.
In fact, if you are building a 1-click/1-step foundation, I recommend using the foundation tool - because you must use HL's SimplePassageModularStairs, to allow sims access to the 1-click/1-step foundation, and they must be added while the house has a 4-Click foundation.

No need to "count out" the areas of the house - unless you are making a no-slope basement (which is not what the tutorial is about!)

(Just leave the red-lined items alone. Don't change them at all!)


Don't worry about turning the cheats off. They will reset when you exit and restart the game.

The G-A setting for a regular 4-click foundation is: Elevation = 20 ...(16 + 4)


- Numenor's Unlevel Wall - #90.

If you have any Grid-Adjuster questions, please post below or shoot me a PM.
I am continually learning how to use it! And, I'll help if I can! 😽

I'm not done building this house yet, but when it is uploaded I'll post a link here in case someone wants to reverse-engineer it to see what I did.

Good luck!
