    Addition

    In order to properly appreciate the Cabin 1 bathroom, I've added the needed poster pics to the zip file, attached.

    I've also done a video walkthrough of this build if you're interested. Very basic

    Welcome to the Bates Motel! I've tried to make this as true to the original movie (Psycho) as possible but compromises had to be made due to this being from a movie set. A hole will have to be dug to accommodate the basement of the house, and if you want to recreate the house as in the pictures, the wallpaper file is included here. I've also included a list of credits to the creators of blueprints I used for decoration.

    Those with a sensitive sensibility might want to avoid Cabin 1, Norman's closet and the house basement!!

    I hope you get some enjoyment from this.

    You mean the small red lantern? Or the black/grey square lantern? ^^ Does that mean you want to change the color of the flame?

    Either of those lanterns. Not the color, I'd like to be able to change the brightness like I can do with the bulkhead lamp. Sometimes the lanterns are too bright for a smaller space. I prefer the warm light to the colder white light.

    I love that you can adjust the brightness of the bulbs but I'm not a big fan of the white light. I wish you could adjust the lantern light as well. If I'm missing something please let me know!

    I see that when I try to place any clothing all I get is a "package". I assume that's because there is no picture associated with the item? Will this be available at some point?

    Terraforming is brutal. I do much better with the rake for evening ground. If I have to lower the ground I sometimes use a pick to make a hole then rake from there, but I no longer ever lower the ground. I'll build the lowest part and add to it for higher ground. To raise the ground I carefully add a hill then rake it even, add another hill and rake, just to get the height needed to bring the ground up.

    I'm not entirely sure I understand the question correctly.


    If the problem is creating a mansard roof, it's essentially two roofs stacked one on top of the other. You simply apply the method twice, changing the spreadsheet settings and deleting the unnecessary blocks at the end. Once you've finished the lower part of the roof (green and blue in the previous post), the edges of the blocks at the top should still be aligned with the grid: You build 4 new walls using the grid and run the method again.


    If the problem is the roof section with only two triangles, I place a temporary "green" block aligned with the roof's midline, place the first triangle, delete the temporary block, and then place the second triangle.

    Once I've built one wall with squares and slopes, how do I get the next wall to fit if I have to build it again from scratch

    Thanks so much for getting back to me. I'll use the simple one for sure. I notice that on top of your roof blueprint you have two mansard roof pieces and 2 triangle pieces. How does that work? So, do you have to rebuild the wall 3 more times or is there a way to copy it complete.

    OK, I've got the sizing and slope. I'm using your example figures while I practice, I get the piece sized and sloped, I then use surface edit to shrink the top, when I do this the pattern warps. How do you keep it straight?
