The sims 3 stairs in foundation

This is slow enough for you guys to kind of realize. 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.

Head to Build Mode by clicking the icon on the top right or pressing B on your keyboard while in Live Mode. From there you will see a new Basement Tool, right near the Build Room tool. You can use the console to enter cheats. But I will make another quick tutorial for already built and furnished houses.

I've chosen another pre-existing house, in Appaloosa Plains as well. Again I started by looking for a good spot instead of demolishing the house and crying. I dislike double stairs, so I changed them to single and used the remaining space for the basement stairs.

Now if you follow the steps in the "Using the Foundation as a Basement" section, placing the stairs will be a piece of cake, no cheats required or anything. But I'm going to try something different here. I'm going to start with removing two squares. Then I'm going to cover them with tiles on the ground level. Now I'm going to move outside of the house, and place 3 sets of stairs to go down 3 stairs levels for a standard wall height.

Then go to the Terrain Tools in the Build Mode, select the Level Terrain and click and hold on the lowest point and drag to the desired basement location. Back to the foundation level, I removed 4 more squares horizontally starting from the bottom landing square of the previously removed foundation. Then back to the ground level, and placed the stairs.

Must place the basement stairs before the foundation stairs. On the ground level start removing the foundation walls to get the size of the basement you want. If you have a small house like I do in the pictures, I recommend removing the foundation all the way to edge, including the outer foundation. Then cover the open area with walls instead. And that's your basement. But that's still about the interior, I'll move now to the outside and show you what you can do with the basement.

I'll keep it simple. You basically have walls now, which means you can do whatever you want with them. And with using the Level Terrain tool you can set the path to turn the basement to a garage if you wish.

Or make a balcony, and even build another basement underneath it and many more ideas you can try. I built a couple of quick small houses without the tool to demonstrate the various methods to use and build real basements. If you have any questions, contribution to my guide or requests for other guides, feel free to ask, I will be glad to help.

MyahsGoldenTrust Just look around the menu in build mode and you will eventually find it. MasterTHG 31 Mar, am. It does not work for me. EcoLesbean 8 Dec, pm.

Then delete all but the outer blocks of the foundation. I suppose a good way to show you what it means. 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.

Stairs: This is the default tab when you open the stairs selection. From here you can select what stairs to use, how wide they are and if they will have a railing or not.
