Column

A column is an item from The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 in build mode that can be used instead of walls to support floor tiles. Columns can be one or two stories tall. Some columns, when placed near each other, will create an arch. This allows the player to construct buildings inspired by Roman and Greek architecture.

The Sims 3: Ambitions added the ability to create multistory columns to The Sims 3.
