[[File:Making a roof.jpg|frame|A roof in The Sims]]
[[File:Roof-icon.png|left]]A '''roof''' is an architectural feature of a building. It is important both as an aesthetic feature of buildings and also as a protective feature for the interior of buildings. Roofs don't cost anything in all games.{{confirm}}
==The Sims==
In ''[[The Sims]]'', a roof would automatically be generated when an area enclosed by walls was open at the top. Players could select a roof pitch and roof texture, which would be applied to all buildings on the lot. Roofs in ''The Sims'' are mostly aesthetic, since there is no weather in the game.
==The Sims 2==
In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', there are several types of roof to choose from. The base game has [[Wikipedia:Hip roof|hip]], [[Wikipedia:Gable|gable]], 3-Hip and Half-Hip roofs, and flat roofs. Other expansions add domes, cones, octagons, pagoda-style roofs, and [[Wikipedia:Mansard roof|mansard]] roofs. All of these, except for the mansard roof, are available in the Roof section of [[Build mode]]. Mansard roofs are made by using pieces found in the Architecture section. Flat roofs use flooring. Roofs can be chosen to be automatically generated on rooms that are on final level, just like in ''The Sims 1'', or be manually created by the player.
Roof pitch for non-flat or mansard roofs is set at 45 degrees, but can be adjusted to between 15 and 75 degrees using the ''roofslopeangle'' [[List of build cheats#The Sims 2: Nightlife|cheat]] (if ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife]]'' or a later expansion is installed). With ''[[Mansion and Garden Stuff]]'', roof angles can be changed individually without the use of cheats.
There are set of roof pattern to choose from, which are applied to every roof on the lot.
Roofs are particularly important in ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'', as they keep the elements out. Greenhouse also requires its own roof (which is found in a separate catalog) in order to prevent the kept plants in it from becoming dormant during winter.
