Well I did not say it was impossible, I was just telling those who would try to follow your exact instructions with foundations and be like oh it does not work for me. I was just trying to prevent that.

It does work on a foundation, it just takes more fiddling.
You need to build up two levels of walls where your terrain slope is. From that you then need to level it across (it will be far too high). Then place three connecting stairs in the floor to lower it down, and level it from that height. That will produce your curve at the correct height for a house on foundation. I may just do a tutorial demonstrating this too.

I would also like to mention that if you tried creating curved roofs via how he is instructing, it will not work if the walls are on a foundation. So you need to create the building on the ground like how it shows in the video.

Thanks for the tutorial Sims Supply and Sims VIP for posting. Maybe this will encourage others to employ new building techniques. One thing I wish that appeared for Sims 3 but at least to my knowledge has not is glass floor tiles. Then I could make creations like CycloneSue and Tiko did for Sims 2.

Nice modern barn (never thought I’d say that!). Is this on the exchange?

Thank you for finding this. This will make a great looking gym or a barn for the farm look.
