Once you have established that your lot is flat, you can start to build your basement. You can build the house first, but it may make for some rough going when it comes to placing your stairs.
The basement tool is located in Build Mode in the top-right corner of the pane. Once you see your basement, note that you can make another basement below that. You could make the surface of your house just one tiny room barely large enough to encapsulate a staircase, then have this huge underground multi-room multi-floor mansion below the grass.
It would make for a pretty cool effect, although it makes for an awful design from your neighborhood screen. After you carve out your large sections, the game is unrestricted on what you do with them.
You can add walls, carpet, ceilings, and objects like you could above ground. See, the staircase tool seems extra finicky this time around: stairs look like they have a smaller footprint than they actually do.
Each floor the staircase touches will need to have a 1x5 clearance, but a different clearance; the whole staircase is essentially 1x7. The stairs will also need some clearance around each landing to make sure your Sim can walk away from it. Further, the stairs cannot go through a foundation. That means basements should probably only be for houses that are actually on the ground terrain itself rather than a foundation.
I loaded up the Schultzes' house, and you can see the floor plan below…. Man, I really need to do something about that gaudy wallpaper…. See how the basement is breaching the wall and is also under a bush? All we care about is that we have enough room to stick a staircase in there, and as you can see I carved out the entire row of tiles closest to the external wall just for that purpose.
Okay, I drop down a level, and I deck out the basement floor and internal walls. After that, I ready my stairs…. All right, the tool is playing hardball. The only objects seem to be windows, so I delete those. I hit Page Down and try again…. Ah, that was the problem.
Now, oddly enough, even though the game complained about the windows, after I placed the stairs, I can put the windows back exactly where I had them and the game lets me. Remember that, in case your stairs are ever refusing to place correctly. I run out of room, so I expand the basement toward the back of the lot some more. With the extra space, I throw in a bookcase, some loveseats, a phone, some lighting, and even a fireplace.
Check it out…. You can build the basement anywhere inside the grid area unless there is a pool above even if it is larger than the rooms above. The second orange tab in the house section of the home store is basements. Hold and drag anywhere on the ground to build a basement. Green means the room can be built.
Basements in The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 can be created using foundations by placing an area of foundation that is hollow in the center, then lowering the terrain inside the hollowed-out foundation so that the area in the basement is the equal height of a typical floor.
You can use the console to enter cheats. Type moveobjects on to enable Move Objects mode. This allows you to place objects anywhere, including in walls and on top of one another. You can also use Move Objects mode to move Sims that are in the way of an object you are trying to place. Steps for How to add a Foundation Select the wall tool and use it to create a room. With the help of the Select tool H , click on all walls one by one. The entire room will get selected.
Use the up arrow to lift the foundation and choose the height for the foundation. You move that up or down to raise or lower the foundation. You can however use the foundation tool to build such a level. To build a basement using the foundation, start by building the foundation to the desired size.
Then delete all but the outer blocks of the foundation. In build mode select your wall and a popup contains options to rotate, move, and adjust height. Sims will usually prefer taking the elevator over the stairs. The Sim will enter the elevator and then shortly afterwards appear on the selected floor.
U-shaped stairs consist of two parallel straight staircases that have a degree turn.
