Anything, anything at all to make roofs easier in Story Mode

With the lastest update we've changed how the roofs are placed in Story Mode:
- Building now takes 3 clicks instead of 2, and is more precise
- You can build another roof without exiting Fly mode
- Flying to build or edit a roof should be less confusing (added tips how to fly, auto-fly height is lowered etc.)
- Exiting from flying drops you directly below where you were, so you can easily edit the roof again
- New roof profiles and roof bend settings which let you make East Asian roofs, domes and more
Please let us know if these changes helped 😊

I just hate everything about it: the controls, the camera angles, the way the starting point moves, how you can't pick them up and move them around like other resizable building parts. Roofs honestly take all of the enjoyment out of the game for me. Especially when all this feels like an easy fix?

Roofs are even harder in sandbox because you can't adjust them with the arrows like in story mode, which is baffling to me. Same with stairs. It's hard to estimate where you are placing the first corner, too.

Agreed. Please fix this.

Right???! Height, width, length clicks are available for stairs and the new architectural pieces, but we’re supposed to be able to cover a huge area, often bigger than the field of vision on screen, with just one click??!

Sarah Scott when you put a roof down in story mode you go into a flying mode like in sandbox mode and you can fly around and resize the roof to your liking. and besides, you can then edit the roof with the flipper tool and resize it again.

Pvydroww yep, I know this, but it's still such a pain. I mean, I'm used to pain with roofs from the Sims, but if I raise a roof pitch to make a bigger attic space, for example, in Story Mode, I have to go back and forth and back and forth to the roof to make sure I don't have extra brick remnants on the roof and then come back inside and then there are little gaps from what I just demo'd. The best is if you're at the exact perfect angle and double click a spot right along the roof and it just adds the mini triangle, but it takes me a good hour or two to replace or edit an existing roof or add a roof for an addition and then fill in all of the gaps.
