I tried but I can't level the stage with the floor I've noticed two people with the same probl bit u didn't answer them pleeaaasssse help???????

[RecamZero]

cool but one question when i try to put the lower foundation on i can only put it down one space away from the higher foundation and if i try to put it up right to the higher one it says "cant level terrain"

[mchristiana09]

so i followed your directions, and it worked great. but the problem im having is that i cant see anything that was placed on the stage. i have to lower the floors the very bottom to see anything. any ideas as to how to fix this?

[cjs1189]

yea i think the problem is under the graphics and performance options you may have "object hiding" turned on and therefore everytime you go up a floor the furniture gets hidden...try turning it off and see if it works, hope it helps!

[mchristiana09]

thank you! it works now. :)

I got a problem, hope you can help me out.

I followed all of the steps, but every time when I try to make a stage in the lowered area, it gets even with the foundation, no matter how lowered I get the ground.The only way it works is, when there's at least 1 cell between the foundation and the stage, but that doesnt help me much...

[TiSMOiABLE]

Wow, cool! I thook stairs had to be atleast 4 steps long :p

I gonna try this in my next house :)

[cjs1189]

your not supposed to just put a "normal floor" if you just put tiles it will be leveled with the foundation....your supposed to place a stage over the area in which you used the level tool to lower the ground. once you place that stage in that area you put tiles on the stage

[SimsModernCreater]

lol, not really helpfull.

how did you get the higher floor in the bottom?

if you just put normal floor in,it wouldn't be like that!

[lollypop2301]

Wow,this really was helpful,thanks =)

I've always wanted to do that kind of living room,but the problem was the foundation,I liked just a little bit lowered so I could add stairs.And now,you gave me a great tutorial,and I can get out of here and go into my game to start building =) hehe

Oh,and don't forget to post more of your house designs =)
