If you’ve ever wondered how to raise the foundation of your Sims 4 house, then you’ve come to the right place. There are many ways to modify the foundation, from removing them altogether to raising them up and down. The process is simple, and each house has its own foundation setting. Simply drag the foundation slider up or down to change the level of your house’s foundation. The height of the foundation will depend on the size of the house, so be creative and play around with the settings until you find a balance that you’re happy with.

Platforms allow you to build a mezzanine
In foundation sims 4, platforms are useful pieces of furniture that allow you to create mezzanines inside rooms. Platforms are easily placed on the grid, and are useful for creating rooms, basements, pools, and more. They come with arrow widgets, which will guide you in the right direction. When first created, a platform is one step high. Unlike walls, however, platforms are independent of foundations and cannot be shaped around them.
You can add a mezzanine to any room in your house using platforms. You can place a platform inside a room, outside of it, and in the basement. Remember to place platforms before walls, as they can tear them down. You can adjust the length, width, and height of the platform as needed. You can also adjust the height of the platform to create the mezzanine.
Half-walls prevent you from building a solid foundation
One of the most overlooked tools in build mode is the half-wall, which is not always indicated in the game’s loading screens. This handy tool allows you to make any panel of wall into a half-wall of any height, giving you limitless options for building. This feature is particularly useful if you want to add a safety rail or mezzanine level.
To avoid this, you need to make sure that your walls aren’t built against the platforms. A good example would be a platform room. While a platform room does have a floor, it can be difficult to instruct your Sim to interact with a certain object, since half-walls do not cut away the ground beneath them. Fortunately, there are ways around this problem.
You can also use the foundation tool to make sure that the main floor is on an even surface. To make sure that your main floor is level, click and drag a square on the terrain. Then, select the room you wish to build and use the center arrow to adjust its height. Half-walls, on the other hand, distort the landscape because they don’t have a solid foundation.
You can create rounded foundations with pre-made shapes
In Sims 4, you can place rounded walls and rooms inside the house to give the room a rounded shape. However, you should take note that you can’t add a wall to the foundation under a single room – you’ll have to move around the house to change it across the whole house. However, you can use a platform foundation with a thick edge to hide the clipping around the edge. This way, the Sims can walk on this area without any problems. In addition, you should also make sure to build the round room area weatherproof to keep it dry and warm.
You can also add a mezzanine to a room by creating a platform on top. Once you’ve done that, you can adjust the height of the platform by adding a ladder. If you want to create a more realistic look for the mezzanine, remember that it’s important to have enough headroom to move around it and place items.
Staircases and ladders cannot be placed in the same area as a half-wall
To place a staircase, you must first create a 3×3 square area. After that, add a 1×1 room or floor on top to make the first platform. If you use a foundation piece on top, the second platform will be the staircase. Unlike half-walls, staircases can be placed in any area, but the game can hesitate when pulling it out wider.
To make this process easier, you can use a cheat called CFE. You need a room 4×5 squares in size around your CFE platform. When using the level terrain tool, make sure to leave 2 squares in between your staircase and the foundation. This way, you can make the platform appear as a level surface while your staircase is placed in an area that is at the same height as the foundation.
Adding stairs and ladders to your house can add height to your home or increase your property’s value. You can also place stairs or ladders in an area where you have built a half-wall. A half-wall can be any wall that can accommodate stairs. A half-wall is defined as a wall that contains the highest and lowest floor in Sims 4.
