Remember to always turn the cheat off afterwards by repeating the cheat and changing "false" to "true."īasements can only be done in houses with foundations. The terrain will snap up around the steps and will leave you with a half step at the bottom. Then, use the cheat constrainFloorElevation false (for Sims 3) or boolProp constrainFloorElevation false (for Sims 2) and then flatten the terrain at the bottom of the steps. First, place the stairs and allow the game to adjust the terrain. If you prefer to control the exact height yourself, you can. When placing stairs to the ground, it may automatically lower or lift the terrain at the slightly so the stairs fit in properly without leaving a half step at the bottom. This type of foundation placement means that your stairs down from the foundation will not be the standard four-step height. Also, when adding a section of foundation to connect to what you've already built, drag from the foundation to the empty space, not empty space to foundation - otherwise, they won't fit together. You can build whatever house shape you like - just make sure that you start at the highest point. When you drag it out, it will be flat on top and it will change in height on the bottom according to the terrain level. When building on uneven terrain, you must place the foundation from the highest point of the terrain.
The other types of foundations (TS2's interior foundations and both the lattice ones from both games) are for special applications such as porch areas, but should not usually be the main base for your house. You should use the basic brick foundation for the main base of the house. But, they are not without their issues.īuilding foundations is the same in The Sims 2 and The Sims 3. Proper use of foundations can really improve your house: they can add detail, allow you to have basements and cellars, and they can be quite attractive too. If you're already experienced with foundations, you can skip ahead to the "Box or Not?" section. If you are new to building, you will need to know about foundations and how they work and can be placed.
