===Why cannot i not edit the terrain height?===

:It is probably because you haven't activated the CFE cheat which is needed a lot in this section, you need to press Ctrl+Alt+C on your keyboard to open the cheat box, then type in "boolprop constrainfloorelevation false"; now you should be able to change the terrain height, just remember to turn the cheat off after you use it!

===Why is my game crashing so often?===

:You probably haven't turned the CFE cheat of, so open up the cheat window as shown above and type in "boolprop constrainfloorelevation true", this should prevent it crashing.

===Why won't the game let me add diagonal foundations?===

:Well more often than not it is just the game being annoying, no suprises there; to resolve this, place a normal square non diagonal foundation where you want the diagonal and then half the foundation using the diagonal tool to give the right diagonal shape.

 :This is a simple fix, simply pick up the drive and delete it, then click the undo button, this will cause the driveway to snap to the terrain no matter what shape it is.
 ===I added a garage to a foundation but i have an ugly wall on both sides!===

		+	:Unfortunately there is no fix for this, most builders just use a wallpaper that has no pattern on it so when placed it does not look like there is a split in it, you can also try adding a tree or tall plant in front of it so you cannot see the split.

+:This may be because you may be required to use the "MoveObjects On" cheat, simply enter that in and you should be able to place the object whereever the tutorials asks, to turn it off just change the On for Off.

+:This would be improper use of the CFE cheat, you need to do a bit more research into using CFE, a good section to begin that will teach you a lot about it is split levelling:
