1.0
Basics - Well to start... the question is what are houses? The answer is things we use in are rpgs to make them look cool and interactive,there used for other things then just rpgs though,but rpgs are the main things we put houses in. ok time to get back on topic

1.1
NCHMLD - I know what your thinking,WTF Is NCHMLD. well ill tell you what it is,its an abbreviation for Non custom house model list documentation(house models that are already ingame).Well start with the 4 color most commonly used houses note : only the house roof color varries

Ok that ends the NCHLMD Section of this tutorial,all theese buildings can be found in the structures tab of doodads

1.2
Binding houses.
What is binding houses you ask? binding houses is putting houses inside of each other without editing them in the object editor. ill give you an example

NORMALY,when you tried to do this you wouldnt be able to because of pathing tyty for the shift key (holding shift while placing doodads will defy pathing!)
go crazy making chrazy combinations for your housing structures

1.3
Basic House Decoration

note : i used WEU to make all doodads unlimmited scaling and rotating (much easier)

Step 1.Well lets start off by making are house a little bigger about +50 in all dirrections (xyz)

Step 2.Lets raise the ground a little and then plaeteu it over an put some rock tiles around the edge

Step 3.Lets put the house u there and put the door of the house to the edge of the rocks

Step 4.Lets start making stairs (i used the bench doodad in props) you could also use chair,or table! Start scaling them and raising them (control+pgup or pgdown) and make stairs by making them fit

Step 5. Lets put a fence around are house (the fence doodad will do nicely). just put them around your house in anyway you would like

Step 6. Lets put some Rocks in the yard (the rock doodad in enviornment tab will do nicely) you could put some bushes around it

Step 7.Put some flowers up on the ridge near the stairs(the enviornment flowers) and flower pots

Step 8. Yay you have your house

The tutorial could turn out good,
although you'll need to adjust it.
Example :
"NORMALY,when you tried to do this you wouldnt be able to because of pathing tyty for the shift key (holding shift while placing doodads will defy pathing!)
go crazy making chrazy combinations for your housing structures"
->
You can't place houses in each other without pressing the Shift key.
This is very useful to place doodads wherever you want.
