Building a roof in Sims 4 is not difficult and is done quickly. To do this, first build the house and then place the desired roof on it in build mode.
How to build a roof in Sims 4

- First, go into build mode and click on the roof in the small house overview.
- You now need to go to the top level of your house. You can do this either by clicking on the symbol or by using the keyboard shortcut “Page Up”.

Tips for customizing and refining your roof in Sims 4
After you’ve built the basic roof in Sims 4, there are plenty of ways to customize and refine it. Here are some helpful tips to perfectly match your roof to your house:
- Customize Roof Height and Pitch: Use the arrows that appear when you select the roof to change the height and pitch of the roof. Drag the arrows up or down to vary the height and achieve the desired aesthetic.
- Overlapping roofs: You can combine different roof types to create more interesting-looking roofs. Place one roof on top of the other and adjust the size and slope to create a harmonious transition.
- Roof materials and colors: Go to the roof material selection to try out different textures and colors. Experiment with contrasts and tones that match the style of your home.
- Create dormers and skylights: Use the building tools to add dormers. These not only provide more light inside, but also give the roof an interesting design. Place skylights strategically to bring more daylight into the rooms below.
- Add decorative details: Use decorative elements such as moldings or chimneys to add additional details to the roof. These small additions can significantly improve the overall appearance of the house.
