Build sims 2 house step step

Up-to-date versions of The Sims 3 allow construction of basements using the basement tool, but building basements using foundations is still possible. Note that this tutorial details building basements using the foundation tool. As such, basements cannot be added to buildings without foundations with this method. For the purposes of this tutorial, an empty lot has been chosen to demonstrate the construction of basements.

If you are remodeling an already-existing house, move to Step 2. Ideally, Basements should be built on flat lots, though there are exceptions to this. For beginner builders, level out the lot before building the foundation. To start, lay down the foundation for the building, as you would if you were building a house without a basement.

You can begin to build the above-ground portions of the building right now, or you can choose to wait until the basement is complete. Use the foundation tool and hold the Ctrl key to remove the foundation, excluding a one-tile-wide foundation around the perimeter of the future basement.

The basement does not need to be as large as the house above it, so you can leave some parts of the first floor foundation alone if you do not want a basement built below it. Note that if you're adding a basement to a house, you may want to copy the floor tiles with the Eyedropper Tool, since removing the foundation will also remove the floors on top of it.

Find a wallpaper or other wall covering to place on one or more sections of the foundation inside the hollowed-out area. The covering chosen does not matter, except that it should have a pattern, a baseboard or some other feature that will allow you to determine the height of the wall. Use the patterns or baseboard on the paint you've chosen to help you find the depth of the hole you're digging.

If the foundation is the usual height above the terrain, the approximate number of times clicked to make the ground for the basement the correct level to add a staircase is Once you are able to get a tile of land inside the basement to the correct level, use the level land tool to lower the rest of the land inside the hollowed-out foundation to the same level. Afterwards, look around the outside of the foundation perimeter to make sure you didn't create any holes.
