New Country Mansion walls roof

Hello people, asking a quick question for those more creatively minded than I am.

With the new Large Country walls, there is a "hideaway" on the roof, however I'm struggling to find a way to make a way up to the roof /balcony that looks "natural".

Has anyone managed to find something that works for this, that looks in theme and not awkward?

It makes me wonder how they thought people would be able to access it on certain plots. It’s easy to do with a small, but for a large or even a medium, I don’t even know if the new staircase is quite tall enough, and it certainly doesn’t look like it matches!

Our FC has the Carbuncle house and we have a jumping puzzle set up to get to the roof, but it does have the Heaven on High tower as part of it. The hedge partitions are tall enough to get to a regular balcony, but I’m not sure if the will get you to a high enough place. I haven’t seen the large Country anywhere on my server yet to try and jump around on it.

Makes me wonder if maybe we’ll get to fly in residential areas soon? Or are they just trying to see his creative we can be? lol What I’d really like is the little door at the bottom to be interactable and pop you out at the trapdoor on the top!

I don't mind having to build jumping puzzles to get onto the roofs of normal houses, when there's nothing really up there, but with the new walls having the little seated area up there I wish there was a dedicated way to get up there, rather than having to put some random pieces around the garden to get up there..!

I have tried everything I can think of to gain access to the roof from the ground, but nothing seems to work.

The only way I found to get on roof of the medium is to place another object near the lower parts and jump on, which is not ideal.
And for the large version, my neighbor has that new furnishing (platform with stairs that has a telescope) set right next to the low part of the roof so you can at the top of the furnishing, stand on the seating part and jump, which forces you up on to the higher part of the roof, from which you can then jump over on to the area with the tree and jump up over a branch, from there you can jump straight on to the steps going up to the top.
There is no way that I found once up on the steps, that connects to or makes it possible to gain access directly from the ground (no use of furnishings).

This seems stupid in my opinion, because it looks fantastic at the top with the seating for a few people, yet to get there we need to use other furnishings.
I can't see why for example, at the back of the house, the door leading into the large tree, couldn't either automatically open for people or be clickable to open, and give access to the roof via steps.

I have an idea on how to use a single furnishing hidden from view for gaining access to the higher part of the roof, I will have to test it to see if it has been patched out and still works before I mention it.
I use this trick to hide the teleport furnishing and gardens from view.

Use the staircase, stables, or any high object to jump on the balcony. up from there it's on the roof and then across the tree branch.

I use the new stargazing plattform to get up to the balkony on a large but I dont like that you have to do it that way. I want a way to access it without having to use housing items. Just add a ladder or a staircase we can use to get up there. Otherwise its a really good looking house.

I agree. I have it on my Medium and the Stargazing platform is a good height, but it swallow up my yard. There really aren't any good ways to have a natural path to the top. Even the tall stairs are way too big and look really out of place. Many of the other items that you can jump on are too short to be able to make it to the roof, sadly.

Perhaps try using the house fence glitch to raise up a staircase high enough to reach the balcony and then use the new deck to conceal the base of the staircase so it looks like the staircase proceeds from the deck?

I put that new stargazing patio to the side. Looks and works great!

This worked, thank you! The mobile garden stairs reach the balcony and the roof has several jumping points from which you can reach the branch and then the steps to the hideaway.

Edited to add a picture.

you're welcome. enjoy the hideaway.

Such plots like mist or shiro literally ask for culling the branches and having beautiful sea view.

The only ways up onto that rooftop are either related to the HoH tower, the Island Sanc Mobile Garden Stairs or through you being lucky with your plot's zone specific navigate-able space. Or glitching either furniture on top of the stargazing tower or glitching yourself up top through the same methodology we have been using since ARR to glitch to rooftops. Unfortunately, they have not made outer doors as clicable "furniture" so you can use the actual tree door to get up top. What with the new "ladder" tech we see in the first and 2nd dungeons, you'd think there would be a way to create something better.

I find it almost offensive that they would create housing walls that are intended to be climbed, but you need to create a stupid jumping puzzle. That 1st floor door in the mansion is still not accessible.

Yeah, in early DT I bought and sold the country walls because I was super disappointed the tree staircase didn't start from ground level. Big oversight on their part.
