    Looks awesome, I'll come for a peek later if it's still standing.

    If you're being forced to remove something as nice as that... guess I should abandon the idea I had of making a tall structure out of blocks and chimneys.

    You should be able to easily jump the wall from the ground or the lot stone if not by holding spacebar to charge to full jump height. My laptop has problems cuz its laggy/weak and can't jump high though :p

    I may have missed something but why is such a great creation like this going away?

    I can take a guess but I am not privy to any details so this is purely a guess.

    The OP made a nice staircase out of growing planter beds on his lot that went around his greenhouse... the stairs went fairly high up hence calling it Sky Gardens. His post suggested he was taking it down unwillingly.

    I'm guessing the devs told him he had to take it down. I am very curious as to why that is because I have been working on my own 'creative lot build' and don't want to spend the time making it just to be told it must come down. I hope the reason was 'too many planter beds' which could be used to allow a lot more growing space than if they were properly placed and not because they dont want people making creative lot builds of any kind.

    I wasn't considering using planter beds in my build, until I saw that picture!, so I wonder if my build will be ok to proceed with. I hope this thread produces the answer to "are we allowed to make creative lot builds, or not?" If were are, what are the limitations to our builds to be acceptable? It appears too many planter beds may be one of those limitations.

    When you load Rift's End the first 92% is 100+ pavers and the last 8% is the Sky Garden ;)

    (Likely not as I believe the housing decos load later but I'm trying to take some heat away from my well documented paver insanity)

    That's amazing Xeen Dread. I would love to see it before you take it down. Perhaps you could consider a career in building to contract to build for others. It would make a terrific public planting garden area ;). I am the worst offender at times with my thoughts to create something like an obstacle course that never got done and my sign house. ;). Great job what you have created is beautiful and whimsical. :)

    I'll always remember the sky bar I built on top of a duke's founder city home before persistence. Sorry you have to take this down!

    I will remember this structure as one of the things that Womby's short play spoke about the sky beer garden gifted to the citizen's of Owl's Head.
