It is possible to create a rooftop garden if you have a balcony in The Sims 3. If you follow these steps carefully, you will have a rooftop garden in no time.

Preparation

Requirements:

  1. Enable testingcheatsenabled true
  2. Enable restrictbuildbuyinbuildings false

Steps

  • Go into Edit Town mode while playing the game.


  • Choose the building which you'd like to build your rooftop garden.


  • Select the building of your choice, Evict the Sims and then click on Build/Buy.


  • Open the console (hold down Ctrl + Shift + C on your keyboard) and type testingcheatsenabled on then hit Enter.


  • Open the console and type restrictbuildbuyinbuildings false and then hit Enter.


  • Terrain Plants will not work in buildings, so you are going to have to get creative here. Go into Build Mode, then Floors & Ceilings and choose what you'd like to be the "dirt" or "grass" or whatever you choose for your garden.


  • Open your console again and Press Enter.


  • Go into Buy Mode then Sort by Function.


  • Click on ? button to go into debug. Then click on Gardening Plants & Seed Spawners.


  • Open your console and type moveobjects on.


  • Select the plants you want in your garden and place them in the area you've selected.


Your Sims are now able to enjoy a rooftop garden. Make sure to save your garden. You can also add other decorations to your garden if you wish too.

  • edit* since ITF you can use the garden lawn rug to make working gardens on the roof

or in a room only limit to that is watering plants has to be done by hand
