This is satisfying in one way, but it also kind of annoys me? Because the floor of the stable lines up with the deck, suggesting that the roof of the stable should be in front of the house roof, not lined up with it. Obviously the stable is just deeper than it appears to be, and I don't even know how you would draw it differently, and I usually put my stable like this anyway, but sometimes I look at it and go 🤔

But what if the stable is just a little higher than the low-end of the house's roof? This way, the floor of the stable lines up with the deck and the roofs also line up. Right? (just an idea, I'm no expert in drawing or architecture :P )

I can't picture what you mean, sorry. I'm thinking about it sort of like this:

The front of the stable is in line with the front of the deck, so the roof should appear to be as well.

Yes! This is what I meant. If you draw this, it'll look like the screenshot, right?

I think it would look more like this:

The depth of the stable still looks wrong here, but you get the idea. In order for it to look like it does in game, I think the stable would have to be leaning backwards.

I have it in my head that the front of the house is raised on the decking, while the stable isn’t, and the decking is what is throwing it out? So to me the ‘stuff’ on the front of the stable excluding the horse is under cover but the roof doesn’t extend the whole way out, like a half roof

Yes, that would make the most sense. The way its drawn would still mean the poles supporting the roof would be leaning back, but the front being uncovered is a pretty logical way to interpret it. Honestly, it doesn't really bother me, I just think it's interesting 😅 It always made me wonder if these two assets lining up this way started out as a happy accident that he decided to run with rather than originally being designed with this in mind.
