Basements are not possible in ''[[The Sims]]'' as [[foundation]]s are not available in the game. Basements in ''The Sims 2'' and un-patched versions of ''The Sims 3'' base game are created by placing an area of foundation that is hollow in the center, then lowering the terrain inside the hollowed-out foundation so that the area in the basement is the equal height of a typical floor, thus making the basement a fully usable space accessible by Sims (assuming that the Sims have a means to reach the basement, such as by stairs or elevator). Pre-existing buildings that do not rest on a foundation can not have basements added to them, though basements can be added to pre-existing buildings that do rest on foundations.

The basement tool in ''The Sims 3'', can only be used on buildings that are not built on a foundation. The basement tool does not create basements for buildings on foundations; those basements must still be created in the same manner as they are created in ''The Sims 2''. Basements created using the basement tool may go as deep as four stories below ground level.
The basement tool from The Sims 3 can be used under foundations, but two sets of stairs will be required to reach the basement area, as a foundation cannot connect directly to the basement floor. Basements can be as deep as 4 stories.


The basement tool was not included in [[The Sims 3 (console)|The Sims 3 for console]] but a basement can still be constructed in the same manner as [[The Sims 2]].
