Acrostacking Objects in "The Sims 3"
So, yesterday I found a way to cover objects with terrain. Today, while experimenting again, I managed to find a way to cause objects to FLOAT. It was really an inverse process, so, it wasn't that hard to discover. Anyway, I whipped up a tutorial for you guys to play around with. I have noticed though that you can't stack plants, both decorative and real. Enjoy!
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
Step 6
Step 7
Step 8
Again, PLEASE test and play around with this, I wanna see how it works for yinz guys!

It is summer and I discovered these while writing for the site - I figure it was the nice thing to do by sharing my findings, it's what the site is for

Hmmm never thought of using it like that. I usually use that terrain thing to hide fountains in pools so you can just see the ...uh... fountain... you know the water sputtering... geez, missing some words again here, lol.
Means I'm using some sort of inverted version with lowering the terrain, putting a fountain in and closing the gap above it.
Just a plain undecorated version

Better now?
. (Now that I put some objects where I wouldn't have been able to put them without "geoblending" the pool... lol)

Well, I have this perfectly working swim-through arch...
Hmmm so maybe the pool might be the key?
Ah stupid me wasn't precise enough with describing my problem. I can store the stones pretty high one on each other, the problem is that I cannot get them to be "closed" on top, without ruining the walking-through ability. I had them about twice as high as a sim is, but as soon as I tried to close it, the way was blocked.
And then I had a version where some of the top rocks fell through even below the floor and blocked the way from there...
Hmmm maybe I'll do some more tests... Just thought you might know something or maybe someone else who experimented with that.

AH, I see what you mean, it has to be at LEAST 16 clicks high for a sim to pass under it

Ah... *scratches her head*
Oh my, that will end in some stupid counting with those rocks... *laugh*

Thanks for the info

Thanks... very clear, so the TS3 objects won't be readjusted by the grid level layers, cool. 
I wish there's a thanks button if good.
