Help please? I must be doing something wrong here 'cause when I put in my garage door the wall cutting through it is visible, kinda like what can happen if you place windows with "moveobjects" still on. (And no, I don't have it on) Any ideas ppl?  Will be so grateful

I have the same problem as princesskitty where only part of the door is visible with part of the foundation showing through the door. Please can you help solve this problem.

Great tutorial!  I was wondering, is it possible to add an attached garage to an exsisting house (providing it has a foundation and leveled terrain around it)?

This was an awesome tutorial, but in TS3 it can't be used as an attached garage simply because of the questions listed in this comment section.  The bottom of the garage is the only thing that shows and you can't overlap the garage to get a full garage.   I searched for a tutorial on split level housing which was a bit more complicated than this one.  This is great for split level or sunken rooms.  You can overlap the windows using the "moveObjects on" code.  If there is some workaround, I would love to know, but for now, as a newbie to building houses, I guess I'll have to stick to adding unattached garages or building them under the house with a sloped driveway.

princess kitty156 and Isis-Nefe:  The problems you're having are probable due to one (or more) of three things:  1) your garage isn't wide enough - you must have at least one extra tile between the house and garage for the angled wall; 2) you're trying to place your garage door too close to the house, you cannot place it in the one tile space directly adjacent to the house; 3) you didn't remove the foundation clear up to the house so your angled wall isn't in the space directly adjacent to the house.  If you check all of these things but continue to have problems, please pm me and we'll see if we can work through it together.  Jackie

pinecat: none of those things you listed have anything to do with the problem with the garage door. my boyfriend just did it and the top wall is overlaping the garage door.

I hope that didn't come off as rude. wasn't trying to be.

Oh how wonderful.  Tried to do an attached garage not long ago, and was so so frustrated!  Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!  Can't wait to start building!
