I am embarrassed to admit I did NOT realize the flatten to height allows us to determine a height in the air. I am so glad I didn't get cocky and skip the beginning tutorial assuming I already knew it all haha.
With the fishing sign that goes with ponds/live mode, you have to click the sign after you build to tell it which kinds of fish to stock. For that reason I wouldn't shrink it too much, because you want it to be clickable.
Beautiful water effects and so generous of you explaining the terrain tool to people not use to using it from previous versions. Your waterfalls are gorgeous! Lovely work as always! Enjoy your Sunday!
AWE thanks heaps gorgeous!! I always feel bad when newbie builders make comments that they can't figure out how to use all the tools lol I'm always so encouraged by you and I hope YOU also have a brilliant Sunday!!! HUGS
Btw I watched this video last night and have played around all day today with different builds and overall wondering what limits I can push. While I was practicing the edging techniques I realized something that might help you figure out the green sand problems. Prior to watching this I always took a little time on details but the perfectionist in me makes it incredibly hard to say its good to go. So to save some time I would go in and use one of the darker browns to color the entire bottom of the pond so then it at least was all one (or very close to one) color. While adding a few different color browns to different spots, I noticed the water started looking less green and more like, water! I think possibly what is happening is you add so much and blend it so well that adding even the slightest bit of a lighter brown again, is just evolving the water coloration. Thanks for the amazing tips!!!!
That is so so kind of you thanks heaps love! I'm so excited that it was helpful! I wasn't sure whether to cut out the river part so I'm glad it proved useful! lol
Thank you so much for this tutorial, one of the best I watched and finally helped me to figure out this terrain system. You are the best, and remind me myself when I get stuck on build for days to make everything perfect haha I wish to see more tutorials like this on builds and overall gameplay. Huge thanks!
I LOVE seeing you do your thing in real time! I know that’s not realistic for huge builds but I would love to see more videos like this. ( also don’t worry about getting distracted, as someone who has adhd I love to see it haha)
AWE thanks so much!!! Yeah be prepared for a 20 hour video if I do my large builds in real time hee hee but I totally understand! I'm trying to come up with a new style of build video that works better for me because I actually don't like making speed builds, they stress me out and it's hard to really see what i"m doing cuz it's so fast lol but then I also can't talk through the whole thing....hmmmm maybe if i mix a bunch of everything? like do mini speed build moments for the really tricky time-consuming stuff and then talk through the other parts of the build? Also, I'm glad you appreciate my constant ADD moments - ADHD UNITE! hahahaha Thanks heaps for your lovely encouragement!
AWE wow thank you so so much that is really generous of you! also LOL Bob Ross! Were you the one that called me Bob Ross before because if not, that's the second time I've been called that hee hee I love it.....no mistakes, only happy accidents tee hee. I"m so happy that it was helpful and I really appreciate your encouragement! HUGS
@@fantasims haha nope wasn't me, I just discovered you and started watching your amazing video's. I was actually going through some of the comments to see if someone else felt the same haha 😊
This video was awesome!!! It's amazing to see all the different tools and things you've learned to create your beautiful builds! Thank you so much for sharing. Also I love when you go on tangents and things because you can always tell when a teacher is knowledgeable and passionate if they have so much they can share to the point where they can ramble past the basic knowledge. Plus that's where you can learn some of the most creative and inspiring techniques! Also I'm not sure if it works with the waterfalls but maybe if you do use a room instead of tool to lower or raise the height you could take one of the walls and move it in to get rid of the room but keep the content unlike if you were to delete the room. I saw SatiSims do it in her latest build tutorial for sheds and it seemed to react pretty well to things that were resized and changed from their normal state. Thank you again!
O goodness thank you so much wonderful that is incredibly kind of you! I'm glad my tangents aren't super annoying lol My brain tends to jump around a lot! That is an excellent trick you mention! You can try it with terrain and see but usually with the terrain it jumps back up, but it could possibly work in some situations so I'll have to test it out and see! Thanks for the suggestion! You are truly lovely!
There is a debug waterwheel that actually spins in the water, which I used to make a millhouse! Its really cool. Also the "waterlillies in bloom", you can click on them to allow frogs to spawn.
OOOO I totally forgot about the waterlilies and I didn't realize the frogs can spawn on them, that's so cool! thanks heaps for sharing and YES I love those waterwheels so much I've been putting them in all my builds hahahaha
I love love LOVE this video. I really honestly loved how much time you spent showing us how you work on the terrain tools and the little ideas you let blossom and tried - even the things I kiiinda knew, I learned SO much just watching you work! As a fellow ADHDer, I totally sympathize with having a hundred ideas you have to follow because...you have to! I'm so inspired now to build something totally ridiculous. I really appreciated, also, that you showed how to do all of this without using TOOL (except the sewers which...oooh. I may be building my vampires a sewer haven) for us TOOL newbs.
O WOW thank you SO MUCH wonderful that is truly so encouraging and kind of you! I was scared it would be too long but I know it would be confusing to rush everything so I'm so glad it was helpful. I'm glad you understand my ADD brain hahahaha That is the BEST news that you are inspired to build something crazy - those are the best builds! I love the sound of vampire sewers!! And if you want to do it without TOOL you can just cover the tiny window you size down with the [ key with like a plant or object inside the sewer and it should hide it! If ever you need help with anything to do with TOOL just let me know, I love doing mini tutorials on TOOL stuff if it will help!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I just saw your comment on Twitter replying to someone, and so I rushed over to your RUclips. I’m so happy I did. Finally I can start building the way I want to
O my goodness WOW thank you SO MUCH that is seriously such a huge compliment and encourages me so much! I really appreciate it and I hope building becomes way more fun with it now! HUGS!
I am so glad to have found this video! I'm on console so I don't have access to the tool mode wich makes it really difficult to play with the terrain tool. I can't wait to try again with the platform hack!! Your video is awesome and very well explained, thank you!! ❤
Wow this is amazing, thank you so much for this. I had no idea. Things just always got away from me and I'd get so frustrated and just end up flattening the lot and forget about a pond or river.
Hi Fantasims! I just have to say that you are one of the best at tutorials! All the extra info you wasn't planning on doing, is perfect and so very helpful. I often wonder how the other bits are done that others don't tell you. It's also great to get new ideas and I absolutely love your enthusiasm and mind. I am just the same with distractions and getting carried away, I did wonder if you had ADD and then you said you did, lol XD (I'm currently on a waiting list to get my official diagnosis). I often get asked, 'How do you think of these things, how does your mind work like that', etc. Lol. It's great how ideas just flow throughout builds and create amazing things isn't it! You have gained a new subscriber, that's for sure! Thank you so much for wanting to share all your wonderful work :)
Oooh this is so awesome!! I am making a lot for a contest and I really wanted to include some underwater elements but couldn't figure out how. :,D Thank you!
This is so cool!! With this new tool, entire cities can be made underground! Kind of! Or a post apocalyptic world but the flooding took them out. Im going to attempt this in del sol valley for celebrity builds where fans just walk into their backyards
@@fantasims i think brindleton bay is the best wold to flood cause its coastal. Maybe a mini buuld where theres a house with furniture and it looks like people just geabbed stuff and left and its like flooded and the power is out and its nasty. Then add an aligator for fun
@@sim771 HAHAHAHA you are too hilarious, i love the way your brain works! I started building a post apocalyptic junk yard ages ago, but I think I should flood it because your idea sounds awesome!
Thank you for all the useful information in this video. So many things I didn't even know about. I get carried away as well with my builds. Guess thats why it seems so hard to do a speed build and make it look good and stay within a time limit for the video. LOL 😂 I watched the entire video. 🙂
AWE yay thank you so much wonderful, that is so kind of you! I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets carried away hahahaha and YES speed builds stress me out because I can never fit the footage in either! also WOW that is some serious patience to watch the whole thing! I'm truly honored, thanks heaps!! HUGS
LOL you are too funny! I put both the left green side and the right sandy side as separate lots in my gallery (ID: simsperation84) so you all can use it in your builds if you like!
Hi. You're so good. I wish I could do that too. Do you possibly have something like this in the gallery? I would like to have such a nice time in one of my Sims worlds ... ❤❤❤❤
Fantàstic work and explanation, I have learned how to use the lakes tools and more! Thank you so much for your efforts to teaching us. You're the best Without the doubt. A great great kiss from belona3132! ;)
I really like this tutorial, thanks. It was great. I've learned a few tricks I may use in my builds. I'm glad you offered solutions that don't involve the T.O.O.L. MOD too. I look forward to seeing other tutorials that you may post.
I absolutely love this! Your mind is just like mine! & from past experiences, I think I may have ADHD. Live mode, is it like... "we all live in a yellow submarine'', or like "live from New York, this is Saturday Night"...?
I say it the yellow submarine way, because it's "Build. Buy. Live." But there isn't necessarily a right or wrong way! Say it however you like, it's just a game (:
@@SimifyMe O LOL no it's not a laptop I use an iMac so its the Magic Trackpad 2 - it makes the camera so much better to use because I can swivel it with such ease! I love it way more than using a mouse
AWE i hope you find it a bit less scary now! I find it helps to try one new trick at a time and after a while it seems second-nature to use all the cheats lol I can't build without using the Move Objects cheat now lol

HAHAHA you are so funny and honest I love it! And also don't worry, until recently I didn't really use half the terrain tools either lol
Oh my gosh!!! Putting the rock on the flooring and then lowering the flooring is just what I needed!!!! Thank you!
I'm a real novice at this, and was pretty intimidated by working with terrain tools. This video is really clear and helpful - thank you!

That is so so kind of you thanks heaps love! I'm so excited that it was helpful! I wasn't sure whether to cut out the river part so I'm glad it proved useful! lol
wow your a genious! also thanks for all the explanations it all makes sense, i need to use my draw skills on my builds more often

I love to see fantasy alchemical brain magic at work
The disappearing terrain paint is a glitch that recently started occuring for other creaters too. So you're not crazy. It's the game
LOL O PHEW hahaha glad I'm not going mad! Thanks for letting me know that is really kind of you!

@@fantasims You're welcome. And you have a fantastic week too.
I absolutely love this! Your mind is just like mine! & from past experiences, I think I may have ADHD.
Live mode, is it like...
"we all live in a yellow submarine'', or like "live from New York, this is Saturday Night"...?
I say it “Live from New York, this is Saturday night” but a lot of people say “we all live in a yellow submarine”
I say it the yellow submarine way, because it's "Build. Buy. Live."
But there isn't necessarily a right or wrong way! Say it however you like, it's just a game (:
Really interested to see the sewer bit
Thank you so much
your video give so mutch idea :O
AWE YAY thank you so much wonderful that makes me so excited!!!
Where's the world edit mod you mentioned at 1:50 that adds the water? Or does Twisted Mexi have mods that do that?
Still watching
That is DEDICATION because this is such a long video hahaha. Appreciate you tons! HUGS
The ones you didn't downsized seemed to work, maybe you just need to keep the alligators normal size to work??
Just stumbled across this... I've encountered the green awfulness before...Its nice to know I'm not going insane...
How can you set a height for the 5th tool in the beginning
The water doesnt work for me. every time, it creates this "square" water when I fill it and I cannot alter terrain without water dissapearing
How do I get debug rocks!?
Hi! Where is the best place to message you for a quick chat?
Hey love! Twitter is easiest, I wish RUclips had a way to message!
You need to get carried away more often. It makes for a very entertaining video. ;)
HEE HEE thank you so much wonderful! I wish i could do all my builds in real time, but those would end up very long videos hahaha
Please tell me you don't always build using the track oad
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "track oad" so I'm not sure how to answer that lol
@@fantasims track *pad on the laptop instead of a mouse
@@SimifyMe O LOL no it's not a laptop I use an iMac so its the Magic Trackpad 2 - it makes the camera so much better to use because I can swivel it with such ease! I love it way more than using a mouse
Im so use to building with the restrictions the game brings and using cheats to do custom builds always scared me.
AWE i hope you find it a bit less scary now! I find it helps to try one new trick at a time and after a while it seems second-nature to use all the cheats lol I can't build without using the Move Objects cheat now lol
OMG your commentary kills me
Hope you pay you I haven’t bought a pack until isle living until this because I want to debug university
I can't see my ducks. All I see is feet😭
O no, is your pond tool glitching? that's super creepy only being able to see their feet!
