How to build pyramids
(Repost of sep 20, 2008)
To make the pyramid walls go down for easy playing, you need to use a special (but easy) way of building. First of all, you need ofcourse the Pyramid build set, but also the invisible windows and doors (http://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/sims2/sets/objects/526475/)
Important: Make sure you have the (residential and/or community) collectionfiles of the pyramid walls. You will not find the pyramid walls in the normal catalogue, only in the collection files!
The reason for this, is to not clog up peoples already full catalogues with something that is not very often used.
The technique used for the pyramids is basicly the same as for building the lighthouse.
1 Make a square with the normal walls. The size depends on how large you want to make the pyramid (15x15, 11x11, 9x9, 7x7 or 5x5).
2 Place the pyramid meshes against the inside of the normal wall.
3 Use a pyramid wall with door opening on one of the sides.
4 Use the invisible door to give sims access to the inside of the pyramid.
5 Use the invisible window to hide all normal walls.
6 Use the invisible fence to prevent sims from sticking their head through the pyramid walls, by adding the fence on the inside of the pyramid, 1 tile from the walls. The invisible fence is not part of the collection file, you will find it in the normal fence catalogue. Note: in the picture an ingame fence is used to show how to place the fence. The real invisible fence is invisible (duh ;) ).
The pyramid walls and invisible door/window/fences are TSRAA and may be included in lots here on TSR.
Have fun building your pyramids!
