How to hide rooms?
« on: April 27, 2012, 05:40:06 PM »
Is it possible to make a room on a residential lot that is hidden and unaccessable even though it has a door?  If so, could you tell me how please. Also, I have WA so I can use tomb markers if needed.

I think the only way would be to use the tomb building tools to make a hidden room, because without those, any room you build is going to be visible straight away.

You would still be able to use the door and go in with just a tomb marker. I  want to make the illusion a underground structure is bigger than it actually is.  I would just put a door in the wall with move objects, but then you would be able to see the other side of door.

So you don't want the room to be actually usable? Even using moveobjects, you will still be able to use the door. You could place the door and then use moveobjects to place something directly behind the door, that way Sims would not be able to go through. Then you could use one of the tomb tools to make the room hidden until someone enters, but because they can't use the door, they won't be able to enter and so the room will always remain blacked out.

Thank you, twinmum.  Is it possible to make a unusable garage door?

Not sure about an unusable garage door. Because they open up and not in. Although, you could use the same trick, use move objects and place directly behind the door. You would have to have a few things so there is no way for a Sim to walk through (maybe a row of counters) I'm not sure though if this would stop the door from opening and then the Sim not being able to go through or if it would just not open.

Couldn't you just go into live mode and lock the door to all sims? That way sims won't be able to go into the room.

I don't know if that's what you're looking for...maybe I don't understand.

Hope I was helpful!

I shift-ctrl-clicked both doors and selected lock and it worked.  I couldn't unlock them in live mode. Thank you both.
