Before I bought AL, I had those 1 tile squares available for downloading here on MTS, which functioned like ceilings, but made it impossible to see the room from above, so they annoyed me sometimes. Now I'm very happy about the ceilings in Al, and besides, they can be decorated the way you like, just like floors. I always play with the walls up and the ceilings on.

I put them in for contest pictures, but then the Downloads folder died and my husband asked how badly we really needed them back. I conceded that abortable bed making and the batbox were more important than ceilings.

Put floor tiles under the roof, that's what I always do.

I usually play with the default ceilings because that white is exacly what I see if I look at my ceiling at home. For luxury houses or community lots like pubs or expensive restaurants I change them. I must admit, while playing I seldom notice the ceilings although I always play with them turned on.

I play with walls down--just the outer walls (along the perimeter) up. I put them up to take pictures. I agree with the others who say the ceilings are great for picture-taking.

You can, but make sure you add the roof FIRST! I usually make starter homes single storey but want to have ceilings for picture-taking purposes, and that's how I put them in.

I don't use ceilings (or walls for that matter) during regular gameplay, but both make the houses look more realistic when I want photos!

No need to use my full name, "Selly" will do just fine.

But most of the time, I play ceilings off and walls down, so that I can access indoor and outdoor things easily; kind of a 'god mode', really. I can see it all! XD
