Build a foundation
In The Sims 4, you can adjust the height of your foundations by using a slider to set them higher or lower. Unlike in previous games, you can adjust the foundations of any house independently of the rest of the structure. You can also change the foundation height of individual rooms without redoing the whole process. Read on to learn more about foundations in Sims 4.
The Sims 4 foundation tool allows you to create tall custom houses, rooms and indoor environments. However, the tool is hidden and not in the game’s build menu. This is why it is important to learn how to build a foundation in Sims 4. Fortunately, TechTudo has created an instructional video showing you how to build a foundation in The Sims 4! After reading the guide, you will be well on your way to laying foundations for your home.
Place half-walls in platforms
There are many benefits to placing half-walls against platforms. First, they allow you to place almost any type of wall covering on them, and they help to match other walls. The second benefit is that you can use the platform in conjunction with Terrain Tools, making the entire process much simpler. Moreover, if you are already familiar with building houses in the Sims series, you can start using platforms right away.
To place half-walls in platforms, first create a platform. Then, place a wall in the middle. The half-wall will start at floor level, but it will stick up above the platform. This way, you will have a realistic looking mezzanine space. The same is true for fences. Unlike walls, fences cannot be placed around a platform, but they can be built on top of it. They interact with the foundations, which can result in some unique styles.
Place stairs
In order to place stairs in the Sims 4 game, you first need to build a two-story house with four walls on one end. From there, decide where you want to place your L-shaped staircase. You can place the staircase against the wall of your foundation by placing floor tiles on the floor level. You can also place four walls on the foundation if you want. You can then place the stairs against the walls.
You should then place a staircase on the foundation. You must have a floor on which your sims can walk. To build a basement, select the Basement tool and drag the shape of a basement to the foundation. Do not delete the floor squares, as doing so will create a small stairway to the foundation level. You can also hold shift while placing the stairs to make them go through the foundation and floor squares. This will also work for spiral staircases.
Create a mezzanine
In Sims 4, mezzanines can be added to your home in several ways. One of the easiest ways is through the All Mezzed Up Discovery Quest, which lets you build a mezzanine. A mezzanine is basically a partly open floor, like an indoor balcony. You can create a mezzanine by touching the floor and dragging it up. You can also click on the mezzanine tab to see various mezzanine sizes. You can then click on the green tick to accept the changes or the cross to reject them.
When building a mezzanine, you can place a wall against a platform, half walls in the middle of a room. The wall barriers need to stick above the platform. Half walls come in 19 different sizes, so you can build a unique style or even a mezzanine floor. Using this method, you can create a mezzanine floor without worrying about the size of your roof.
Lower the foundation height
If you want to lower the foundation height of a room, you can easily do it in Sims 4. The game allows you to change the height of the foundation by dragging the slider at the bottom of the room. The foundation can also be raised by moving it up or down. As of now, rooms with different foundation heights cannot touch. However, you can raise the foundation height of a single room. Read on to learn how to do this in Sims 4!
The foundation tool is available from the building menu. It includes a slider to change the height and a selection of finishes. As of November 2018, foundations and terrain work together. Raising a section of your home or altering the height of other parts will allow you to make your home look more realistic. You can use this tool to adjust the height of other parts of your home. You can even make a mezzanine, or an upstairs porch or balcony, in your home!
