question: garden inside
jjsy:
I have this problem with "internal" gardens.
I built a house with an enclosed (but no roof) area which I wanted to reserve for gardening, however, when I tried to plant, I get rejected by the message "must be outside". Is there anything I can do to make the exposed plot be recognized as "outside"? Or is there any debug command/cheat or mod that I can use to plant stuff "inside"? Or is it even possible to be changed via modding?
Any helpful info/advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Can't you knock a piece of wall out so it's not completely enclosed, then plant, then put it back on when you are done or something like that? If that doesn't work then maybe try that and taking the roof off?

One of the tricks used to create an "exposed" enclosed courtyard is to first, jack the entire house up on a foundation, then blow a hole through the foundation, so that on the ground level, it is unwalled, but the house appears visibly enclosed.

Yep, this. Exact;y the same trick I used on the current piece of property I'm building. Has a basement level for the manor that has both a pond and a sunken garden. Sinking the garden a bit was necessary so that trees planted there didn't show up through the floor above.
jjsy:
thanks all for the replies. It confirmed that what I am attempting is atm impossible. The foundation trick is good when the hole can get covered with stairs, but unfortunately, it does not work for houses without (the theme I am using will be spoilt by foundations :) ). I guess I am only wait for some greenhouse expansion. In the mean time, back to the design plans to see if a "hole or two" can be introduced discreetly.
thanks all again!
