LOD advice

[sweettea]

Hello. I have created a new house which is 850 tris. I'm having a problem breaking down the building to make a proper lod with around 100 tris. The lowest I've taken it is about 520 before the shape starts to change too much. How would a more experienced creator break this house down?

New to begin with and probably used more tries than I needed to

Feindbold has some tips here: http://community.simtropolis.com/fo...sa-first-set-released/?page=5#comment-1607626

Make sure you have large surfaces - a back wall should be 1 square for example. Stairs you'll want to get rid of the steps and just have a a slope (should be only 4 tris). It might be worth grabbing the LOD toggler mod from the workshop and use the "ctrl + alt + . " option. That way you can inspect other people's LODs in your cities. For a house like that the LOD should be below 100 tris for sure.

Hope that helps
