THE BASEMENT

A packaged lot for the Sims 2 video game produced by myself on a Macbook Pro running Sierra Version 10.12.3

Ever feel like going underground? Now you can do it in style...


     This packaged lot was just finished today, March 8, 2017. It is completely untested. I decide to experiment with building basements in the build mode for Sims 2 running on a Mac. I did research and found out about connecting stairs as a tool for building basements. I created a new neighborhood just to experiment with a home with a basement. I built a residential lot that  has an outdoor pool at about three floors below ground level, not counting the lower level of the pool itself, as well as a four level basement inside the house. That house was built on the largest lot size available. It also has five floors above ground, well furnished. I still haven't tested that one yet either. I decided to set up a neighborhood to experiment with extremely large basements. This is all underground. There are no other lots in the neighborhood. I lowered the terrain as low as it would go, and leveled the bottom. Then, after of lot of difficulty and experimentation,  I managed to hook up a connecting staircase that reached from the level ground at the top of the lot all the way down to the bottom. It is tricky using connecting stairs to build radical basements. I'm new at this but learning fast. I managed to reach about nine or ten floors below the level ground at the top before I couldn't get it to go any lower. I used the wall tool to make walls around the bottom floor. I made a doorway that transitions from the super long connecting stairs into the bottom floor. I added a pool to the bottom floor, which went even lower than the floor  already was. After I finished the walls, I went up a floor and put down flooring. Then I added walls to that layer, and kept doing that procedure until I ended up with five total basement floors, with the highest floor I would estimate being about four or five floors below the default level ground at the top of the lot. The game wouldn't let me build any more floors than that. The top floor has walls, but no ceiling or roof. It will make a good open air below ground deck. The basement is unfurnished except for minimal lighting on each floor, and a pool, phone, and burglar alarm on the bottom floor. The only way to get into the basement from outside at street level is to walk all the way to the bottom floor using the long connecting stairs. Once you get to the bottom floor, you can navigate up and down the five basement floors choosing either normal stairs or an elevator. Once you decide to leave the basement and go up  to street level, you have to go to the bottom floor, go out the connecting transition door, and climb all the way to the top of the super long connecting stairs. You can go up and down each floor level to view any of the five floors very clearly. It looks like it will work great, if the characters aren't afraid of depths. Even if it turns out to not work well with characters, it is worth it just to be able to go from one floor to another, choose floor and wall patterns, and add articles. It is easily the coolest house I have ever built, even if it doesn't work as hoped. You can always add a new neighborhood to test it first, before you use up all the space in your neighborhoods. It is expensive. It lists for $124,357. So,if you want to set up a new family in this lot, you will either have to pay cash, get a loan, or press control shift C, enter the word motherlode, and press enter, which will give you another $50,000 each time, until your family has enough to buy the basement mansion and get out of the family bin or vacant lot. I haven't even tested it on Mac yet. I have a PC running Windows 7 that I use to play Windows XP games like Postal 2, Sims 2, etc. that I plan to test this packaged lot with. If it doesn't work you can always delete it. Or think up your own methods. It should be interesting to see how Terriers react to the underground estate.
