Tutorial - Sunken Rooms
« on: February 25, 2012, 01:20:43 AM »
Hello and welcome to my second necessitorial! This one will focus on sunken rooms, I know you are excited! Because this technique does utilize the CFE cheat, you should read my first necessitorial on CFE. However, it is noteworthy that this technique is not too difficult and thus you do not need to understand the idea of CFE in order to utilize it.

Let us start! First build a room of normal wall height as well as a two story guide wall. Your guide wall does not need to be so far from your structure, but it really does not matter as long as it covers the entire distance of one side of the room.



Next build the second story. This story is going to be the sunken story. Go ahead and color the walls and floor tiles as well, although because everything will remain straight and uncovered doing so beforehand is not necessary. At this time, you must also build the inner walls of this floor for where you would like the sunken rooms to be. This must be done before sinking the story!



Lastly I built a third story wall so you could see how the sunken room will look.



Here I underscored the floor that is to be sunken so you can see it (right now it is of normal wall height). Next I lowered the guide wall by 8 clicks. Now I am going to discuss this bit even though it is incorrect. The correct amount I found out is 6 clicks. However, we can fix this in a moment.



After I lowered the guide wall, I evened the guide wall and then leveled the second floor of the house to this new height.



Here you can see an image of the new structure. I underscored the sunken floor again so you could see it now. This height is what I call foundation wall height. However for whatever reason the game does not let you create 4 click stairs in sunken stories like you can in foundation. It only allows 6 click stairs.





In this image, before fixing the height, I also went ahead and deleted the floor over which I had built walls in the second story. This is how the sunken room is created. At this time I tried rather unsuccessfully to build stairs hah.



So! Now we must make the wall 6 clicks tall. This could have been done right off the bat just by lowering the guide wall by 6 clicks instead of 8.



Now we can see the new sunken room height. I went ahead and created the stairs from the first floor to this sunken floor as well.





Now you can also create the stairs from the sunken second floor to the third floor and from the third floor to the fourth.









Lastly I just furnished a bit. These sunken rooms can be utilized as any kind of room. You can build walls, half walls and fences around them. They are also the technique you utilize to create multilevel stairs (which you can see we did here).
