For ps4 players, hold square when bringing the roof back for the window, keep you finger on square when you press x to set it, works like the shift key.

Hey, my first house was a box-ey nightmare, but it gets easier! I love to casually watch videos like this whenever or while I play and you pick up all sorts of tricks. And if you're a hands on learner - I sometimes watch tutorials for a build technique and then go to the property in the gallery and place it so I can take that piece apart and mess with it in the correct context

You legitimately are one of the best builder Ive ever seen you need to get in contact with ea seriously

Sis how do you even come up with these?! This is dopeee!!!

I think it's genuinely hard to make good tutorial videos, or at least I find it hard to find good tutorial videos haha, but this was SUCH a helpful video. The info was laid out so so so well and really helped me follow along at a perfect pace without having to pause/replay or having to sit through any rambling that made it difficult to focus, and I have difficulty parsing info like this sometimes. Such clever building too, the amount of times I actually gasped lol. Love the balcony option too. Thank you so much!!!

You guys can also hold down ALT to customize the roof height and curve. So your roof will always line up, no matter what size each piece of roof is. Just in case no one knew about that, and the shift button. If you don't want the little wall under your roof windows or just prefer to have it see through on both sides, make the glass roof wall's a 1x1 square. And use the SHIFT button to slide the roof edges. Not the wall. If you want a good example of this check out Kate's other video for angled window facades!

That's the frustrating part about it. You *cannot* remove the roof walls (as far as I'm aware) so you have to just deal with having the room end there. The other bad part about this is that whatever you decide the roof wall color to be that'll be what the wall color of your room has to be due to the way roofs function.
