If you want to build an unusual multi-level house in "Sims 4", then for this in the game there is a function of building basements. With its help, you can create both ordinary rooms and secret gardens, labyrinths, bunkers or other rooms.
Basement construction
Before you start creating your ideal underground room, you need to understand how to make a basement in Sims 4. To do this, you first need to select the construction mode by clicking on the icon in the upper right corner in the form of a hammer with a wrench, or press the F2 key in life mode. After that, you should select the basement construction tool, place the cursor on the plot and start pulling. The basement will be created a floor below. To look at the result, you need to click Page Down on the keyboard or the arrow "Go to the floor below" in the upper right corner.
Only two floors can be built inland, but they are changed and adjusted in the same way as ground rooms. This means that it is possible to change the height of the walls or tear down the floor between floors. In addition, in "Sims 4" after building the basement, you can lay the foundation on top and adjust the height of the stairs.
Open basement
The ability to easily build an open basement is a unique feature of the Sims 4 game that sets it apart from the previous parts. Here's how to make the basement open in Sims 4:
- First you need to build a regular basement.
- Then go to the floor below and select the built room.
- Upon returning to the floor above, you will see a yellow line that needs to be selected so that the "Remove ceiling" button appears.
- When you click on this button, the ceiling disappears and an open basement is obtained.
Please note that the “Remove ceiling” button will not work for the second level of the basement. To make a pit in 2 floors, you need to use the Sledgehammer tool and remove the floor at the top level of the basement. If you want to remove only part of the floor, separate it with a wall or hedge and apply a sledgehammer to the area you want to remove.
