Build a house in the sims 2

The garage wall you originally built has been leveled to a smaller size, so it cannot hold any objects, including a garage door. To remedy this problem, delete those sections of the lower leveled wall where the garage door will eventually go. Make sure the constrainfloorelevation cheat is still active, or this will not work.

The addition of a full wall for the garage door forces the upper wall to rise, creating another spiked wall problem. Go to the second level of the house and use the Level Terrain Tool to flatten the spiked wall, like you did in Step 5. If successful, the walls on the garage should be flattened and at the same level as the walls on the rest of the first floor of the house. Enter the following code into the prompt: boolProp constrainFloorElevation true ; this will re-engage the normal wall placement rules.

The way the garage walls connect to the house causes a distortion of whatever wall covering is used on it. This effect is very noticeable on coverings with noticeable patterns or lines, such as brick or siding. The house used in this tutorial originally had siding, which is now visibly distorted click to enlarge the photo.

This issue can be avoided by using non-patterned wall coverings, like paint or stucco, or the issue can be quietly ignored. In this tutorial, the house was repainted with a stucco wall covering to correct the issue.

On top of this, making additions to the house may not be practical or desired, due to lot size, desired architecture or aesthetics. Fortunately, from The Sims 2 onward, it is possible to build a basement under a house.

In up-to-date versions of The Sims 3 and The Sims 4 , basements can be built using a dedicated basement tool. Unfortunately, unpatched versions of The Sims 3 and all versions of The Sims 2 lack a basement tool, but basements can still be created through the use of foundations.

However, the process to construct basements is not explained in-game. As a result, some players may not understand how they are constructed. Fortunately, building basements is quite simple, and can be done to any pre-existing house on a foundation, or to any new construction.

Note that the images included in the tutorial below demonstrate building a basement in a new lot. The steps listed out for building a basement in a pre-built house versus a house being constructed should not differ, unless otherwise mentioned. Be aware that the methods of construction outlined here will only work in The Sims 2 and The Sims 3. The Sims does not feature foundations or a basement tool, so it is not possible to build under the lower level of any lot.

The Sims 4 handles foundations in a different manner than The Sims 2 or The Sims 3 , so building basements using foundations is not possible in that game.
