How do I put shops etc on a pier?

[Natasha]

It says Obstructed when I try to place a shop on a pier. Is there another way around this instead of deleting a large tile of the pier?

Obviously your pier is made up of a path or path grid. You cannot place shops at the same level as a path or else you get the obstructed warning. Shops have to be elevated about 4 meters above a path to aviod being obstructed by the path. You will have to either cut some holes in the pier in order to place a shop entrance at the same level as the pier, or you will have to place your shops on a second level obove your pier with a path stairway going down to the pier level.

you dont want to make the pier out of a path. you want to build it out of the wooden flat roof. It looks identical to the wooden path. The name is “modern wood roof flat” under Buildings. When u add paths add the one identical to it. when your done placing all the paths u can turn the curbs off so it just looks like they are walking on the wooden roof.

you can see what it looks lke on youtube by Masked Bandit “Surfside pier” 19 epi so far. My fav pier series.

Hope that helps

you would have to remove the checkmark, while editing the path, to remove curbs then you would have to click on all the paths again. Then they will be gone. It’s a pain but its nice to be able to have the curbs on when building so you know they’re there.
