The sideways garage was a bit tricky. First you have to understand that the direction of the light from the sim "sun" has a lot to do with how the garage door and extension piece will rotate. One you understand that, it will save you a lot of time.

First, figure out what size lot you want to build on, then find a four quadrant road in your neighhorhood. Then place four same sized lots down on the quadrant (you might have to move some lots in your neighborhood around, but you can always move them back).

Enter one lot, type in the cheat moveobjects on select a floor tile from the build mode and then delete the sidewalk across the street. Once it's deleted, select the garage door from the build mode. It will rotate. If that's the way you want it rotated ... great! If not, then exit that lot and repeat the same above steps on the other empty lots. Once the door rotates the way you want it to, don't save. Exit the lot. Now enter and place down the driveway piece and build the garage. Now, delete the sidewalk and rotate the garage door and extension piece. Tada! A sideways garage!!

Sorry about rambling. I hope the above makes sense. I'm just so glad I finally figured it out!

I am always impressed with houses that don't use CC. This one I am REALLY impressed with! Great job!

That's incredible, the amount of work you put into this and it shows, especially with the garage. I'm surprised this wasn't featured because it's one of the most amazing lots I've seen! :D
