[@Gryphi]

FIRST!!!1! This tutorial covers the BASICS fo roofing in the sims 4. Might do a more indepth tutorial in the future if you guys would like that. Also planning to do a landscaping tutorial soon - so please leave all your landscaping questions down below! Hope this is helpful for some of you. ❤️

[@heatherfaron8997]

:D

[@Atomicroxi]

Im having so much trouble with victorian style roofing :( i wish you could do a video on that

[@ivanamiravalle2331]

Nice tutorial 👍 do you know how to get the 3 dots on ps4 maybe? Anyway I am thrilled to see the landscaping video cause you are the best one at that in my opinion.

[@SaigeBoddy]

Thank god xD Roofing isn't such a struggle for me but any house looks so empty without landscaping. I feel like whenever my builds get to that point, I just bulldoze it because I don't know how to do landscaping without it looking either too much or just really random

[@alyssavallier9368]

MsGryphi I love how you yelled first 🤣

[@PhantasmalBlonde]

Omg thank you for this! I'm struggling so much with roofs 🙈🙈

[@Gryphi]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@phoebejoebell8189]

BLESS FOR A ROOF TUTORIAL!!!!! I NEED THIS SO BADLY! (Also I’m a huge fan and think you are a wonderful builder! I hope to be as good as you one day ❤️)

[@Gryphi]

aw thank you so much Phoebe! :)

[@aidanziegenhorn6631]

I thought I knew almost everything about roofing, but I never knew about the alt/pitch thing and the ctrl+c/three point thing! Awesome video, it’s so helpful but also entertaining! Next do you think you could do one on clutter, specifically on how much or how little clutter to alt place and what looks good? I think I’ve kind of got it but it would be cool to se your opinion😊

[@Gryphi]

Glad this is helpful! and maybe! :)

[@djnrp2002]

I'm just now getting into building in The Sims even though I've played the game since the first version. I learned so much from this! Thank you!

[@Gryphi]

Aww thats amazing! So happy to hear this was helpful for you :)

[@oshinsims]

This is the roofing tutorial I NEEDED. You really explained in detail and from scratch how to roof homes and this was incredibly helpful ! 💗 I've been binge watching your builds lately

[@misspenguin2269]

I honestly didn’t think I was going to learn anything new but I WAS SO WRONG!!!! Thanks so much for making this tut!

[@Gryphi]

Glad you learned something! :)

[@cathyfahey1780]

This is SO helpful!! I have hated dealing with roofing for so long because I couldn't figure out how to get them to work. Between this and your other tutorials, I feel like I can make a half-decent home now! Thank you!

[@miyaemma]

This is the best, most comprehensive roof tutorial I have ever seen. Thank you.

[@HenSt-gz7qj]

4:42 So THAT'S how you do it... I've been wondering why everyone (on youtube) had that 3 dots that they can use while mine is just 1... XD

[@raeb9934]

Right I have played the sims for 5 years and never knew how to do that

[@vince_c]

Using the tables as a roof was actually very smart. Smart utilization of items, wow.

[@spacewalkerrr]

roofs were such a trouble for me, thank youu

[@josefine635]

you’re my favorite simtuber and i don’t even own any sims games. So relaxing

[@Gryphi]

❤❤

[@alyson6040]

By the way, you can use the “Gravel Delite” roof texture on any floor that is above ground level!

[@Gryphi]

This ^^

[@ameliaadhiswara1173]

I just found this video and its really helpful for a newbie like me. Thank you so much😭❤️

[@mandyrene]

I’m new to the game.... yes new.... and I’ve just found you..... you’re amazing!!!! I’ve watched many Sims channels over the last couple of weeks and I’m so glad I’ve found you.... you’re my absolute FAVE!!!! This is only your third video I’ve watched..... I MUST and will watch them all! :D THANNKYOU!!!!!

[@broccolycowboy3016]

I didn't know about being able to change the length of the eves independently! I always run into issues with them sticking through where I don't want them. now I can fix it! thank you 😊

[@meliekanicole8152]

I can’t figure out the flat roofs to save my life 😩

[@Zoliagaming]

Dont add a roof and just use the lowest half wall on the top and change the wall colour to match your building and in half wall trims just change the colour to your desired one

[@ButteredFlied]

You are so articulate and to the point! Thanks for this amazingly helpful tutorial ~sims newbie

[@wiktoriasowik1978]

"Of this simple shaped house.." I can barely build a two floored house 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@Gryphi]

Aww don't say that! Just gotta practice :)

[@purplesimmer4985]

Same

[@pokeaish]

Thank you so so much for this Video! I finally know how to build roofs which I didn't even know when I played Sims 2! i am so happy right now!

[@ChaosCub-is9sj]

This just solved a HUGE problem I was having. Thank you so much!!!

[@buggus5190]

Thank you! I bought a premade home an I thought I’d just remodel, but remodeling the roof was my full on down fall. I think I’m gonna sledge hammer the whole thing and start fresh. The roof, that is, not the house lol!

[@poetrythief828]

This was the most helpful roof guide and it was only 15 minutes long. The other roof tutorials are 20-30 minutes & made me fall asleep.

[@jhenyffermarques9486]

I love your tutorials because of the details you give, like the simple keyboard tips. Thank you!!!

[@microslavery]

Thanks for the halfroof idea, instead of putting a bunch of tables I just raised the floor till it was almost level!

[@VampyressKyttie]

Omg this video is so freaking helpful! Thank you so much!!

[@neecxle]

thanks for this video, i'm someone who highly struggles with roofing so thanks for all the tips

[@Gryphi]

Aww of course! :)

[@kelseelarue]

Thank you!! Roofing is definitely where I struggle the most. Can’t wait to try some of these tips.

[@Gryphi]

Aw of course! Glad it was helpful :)

[@SecretSakuraRose]

[@Gryphi]

❤❤

[@tomrosenbaum6952]

This 15 minute video has taught me more than I’ve learnt in the past year

[@SoSkepticalFox]

SHIFT C!!!!! I always forget that command!!!

[@edwinjlr1345]

I've had the roof-clipping glitch thing happen to me. IT was very annoying, but after some scouring on Reddit, someone wrote that I had to re-do the rooms and it fixes itself, somehow. Now, I try to do the roofing way at the end of my builds, specially if they're clipping through the walls, because you know, sometimes they just look better. Thanks for this vid, by the way, I didn't knew about those three-points of modification, nor about adjusting the height in a free way.

[@evamarie3568]

13:47, Omg, the roof looks like an ice cream sandwich or an Oreo!.....just thought I’d say that

[@adambrosche5894]

Thank you! I have been trying to build roofs for my modern homes for Newcrest and this was driving me up a wall! You are a life saver

[@Gryphi]

Glad I could help :)

[@freyataylor9240]

Damn I thought I knew the sims 4 xD I love ur vids btw

[@Gryphi]

❤❤❤

[@KyleGarnet]

This video was really helpful!! I haven't tried building much in the Sims 4 because I'm a Sms 3 youtuber. Thank you for all the tips and tricks! It's very encouraging! 💛💞

[@Gryphi]

Glad this was helpful! and oooh! Sims 3 is amazing :)

[@KyleGarnet]

@@Gryphi I really love Sims 3!! Have you ever played it? Or have you only played sims 4?💙

[@Gryphi]

@@KyleGarnet Yes! Spent so many hours in that game. Started my channel on the Sims 3 back in...2012?

[@KyleGarnet]

@@Gryphi Woah that's forever ago!! I feel like such a young channel!! I started my channel 2 months ago I think? I really like your videos!!! 😁💛

[@evinkawolfbrooke3117]

Yes finally now I know how to make a greenhouse with a glass roof

[@elujardi]

This was so HELPFUL!!!!!!! I really love the idea of the Get to Work item! I looooove all your builds! And the A-Shape house you are building atm... omg. ♥♥♥♥♥

[@Gryphi]

So happy to hear that! and yeah haha that table is the best

[@crazycordy]

I didn’t know about the three points option for the roofs. That’s awesome!! Thanks so much for this, would love more in-depth tutorials too if you decide to do that 💕

[@Gryphi]

Happy this was helpful! :)

[@radioserrelind]

Yayyyyy roofing tutorial! I feel less silly now, knowing that there really are tricks I've been missing out on. :)

[@Gryphi]

I'm so glad!

[@danishmom8191]

I am new to your channel. :-) I have been playing Sims since the very beginning, and I build houses and stuff for the most part. And I always struggle with the roofs. So I love this tutorial !! Thanks for it, and keep doing what you are doing, because your tutorials are so good !! :-)

[@Gryphi]

Aw thanks so much! :) Glad you found it helpful!

[@viechaya9983]

Cool tutorial, thanks! Maybe you could talk about roofing wrap-around porches at some point. I always struggle with those, especially when I build victorian houses and I use half hipped roofs (that I don't want to clip through the wals).

[@Gryphi]

Of course - glad you liked it. Hmmm maybe!

[@bekkaanneee]

oh goodness this is so helpful thank you!

[@Gryphi]

So happy to hear it! :)

[@paulasheets113]

Thank you so much I'm terrible at roofing lol

[@Gryphi]

[@valeriemoesslberger9007]

[@chuckles6812]

God this is good - I literally knew none of this and it is incredible to be able to use!!!!! So so helpful, you’re amazing 😍

[@Gryphi]

So happy to hear that! I wasn't sure how clear I was being haha. Happy this was helpful!

[@vwoop4468]

Thank you so much for the tips! I love your channel so much! I watch you every day!

[@Gryphi]

Aww of course - thank you for your support!

[@Babydoll2880]

I love when simmers create tutorials on things like roofing. What I wish is that someone would do basic video and then a advanced roofing tricks.

[@Gryphi]

I think this covers both. I could definitely do one that is more detailed in the future and shows how I address different styles of roofs, though!

[@auravrm]

You genius I would show it to all my friends if I had any

[@Iristoddlewis]

Once more, some added info for me! Many thanks...

[@Gryphi]

Glad to help!

[@tonyarenee531]

Thank you for sharing!

[@lenae5535]

I always have a problem with the roof. maybe it will change now ☺️

[@harmonymiller1211]

One small tip - make sure you set the walls so that you can see them or you won't be able to see the roof when you add it :)

[@kikusilo6237]

The platforms making fine roofs as well

[@anthonyhenderson2305]

i soooooooooooooooo needed this lol! thank you so much!!!!

[@Gryphi]

Glad it was helpful! :)

[@MissAyeJay]

Lmfao not me thinking a flat roof was waaaay more difficult that just another floor and the smallest half wall trim 🤣🤣🤣 thank you!

[@mycats7321]

Thank you! This is very cool. I wasn't aware of what you could do with holding alt or shift. The barn style roof is called a "gambrel" roof.

[@tees1231]

Thank you so much!!

[@Takeemall12]

Your are a goddess!!! Thank you for this tutorial!!!

[@BethPlaysSims]

yes this is very helpful

[@danielletouchstone9702]

Im so early and thanks for posting this

[@Gryphi]

Of course!

[@FallenAziraphale]

I came here to see how to make 2 perpendicular gabled roof sections meet at a point, but I learned a lot more than that! Basically, what I'm trying to do is build a roof on a rectangle build. I want the center to just be a flat roof and have the four sides connected to the build so that it stays flat in the middle. I'm unable to get the gabled roof from one side to meet the roof on the adjoining side to meet at an angle; they always just go through each other. I feel like an idiot because it seems like it'd be easy enough to do, but it just won't work for me! Any clue how to do this?

[@angelinasantos2047]

Ayee New England gang

[@l4vinm4n6]

I’m just wondering, how do you make your game run faster? Because I’ve been looking at a lot of youtubers doing it and it just doesn’t make sense to me but I feel as tho you might be better at explaining so if anyone else agrees with me could you possibly make a video on how you were able to make your sims 4 so clear?

[@Gryphi]

I just have my game on the highest settings :)

[@LauraSanchez-wj5nn]

which is the modern build you placed?? i want to download it ^^ btw you make the best and more helpful building tutorials I've seen (and trust me, I have seen A LOT)

[@Gryphi]

It's called "Elmsgate Place" and aw thank you!

[@alexflosho]

"A little bit of shape *that's a tree* A little bit of shape"

[@humandisaster18]

Does using flooring for your roof, like you did for the flat roof, keep out weather when you have the seasons pack? I feel like I attempted to use flooring in the past to make a flat roof, and it snowed inside my house as if I had no roof at all.
