How to build a farmhouse ramp
Wow, my first tutorial. Please give feedback! 😊 I don’t think I’m a tutorial-making type, but there was clearly a need for this in the TS3 equestrian community, and I happened to learn how to do this a while ago after serious trying and failing, though it was super easy, when I finally got it. This is the basic idea, but I’m sure there are ways to alter it for two storey ramps and whatnot.
To make it a little easier, flatten the lot if it’s not already. Build the first floor of your building.
Build the ramp-to-be. With a slope angle like in the first picture, it has to be at least 12 tiles long, 13 if you want the ramp to end a little below the ground. You could have a steeper and shorter slope, or have a ramp with differently sloping parts. It doesn’t matter if the ramp-to-be is taller than needed, but it's easier to build it long enough than too short.
Build floors to the ramp, and build a room to the side of the ramp.
Press ctrl, shift, c to open the cheat box. Type in "ConstrainFloorElevation false" to the cheat box, and press enter. This cheat allows you to level the ramp. Now use the terrain tools to lower the ground. Take the biggest or middle sized square shaped tool, and click once under the room you created next to the ramp. (This is the weakest part of this tutorial, no clear picture and no knowledge of the game in English 😂) Go to the second floor, and level the ramp-to-be walls and floors to the same height. Start from the extra building and cover the ramp until the first ramp tiles, like in the picture.
And ta da, the first tiles are sloped! 🤩
Then repeat: lower the ground under the side building with one click, and level the ramp, but leave two tiles from the building unleveled, then three etc… Eventually you should be reaching the ground. The ramp won't level excatly to the ground level, it will either be a little above (11 tiles long) or a little lower (12 tiles long). In here I made it a little lower. It’ll be unusable anyway. If you want there to be a wall in the end of the ramp, build it before leveling the second to last tiles.
Open the cheat box again and type "ConstrainFloorElevation true", delete all the extra walls and level the whole in the ground back to the ground level. You can see in the picture below that you won’t be able to raise the ground under the ramp without the cheat, and with the cheat the ramp would also raise.
