'''Basements''' are stories of a building built partially or completely underground, or below the ground floor of a building. Basements can be built underneath some buildings in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' by using the [[foundation]] tool, or by using the dedicated basement tool in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4]]''. |

Basements in ''The Sims 2'' and unpatched versions of ''The Sims 3'' can be created by leveling the [[terrain]] to the lower height, below the default elevation lot setting. After that, a room can be built in the lower elevation with connecting stairs to give Sims access. |

| ⚫ | Basements in ''The Sims 2'' and unpatched versions of ''The Sims 3'' can be created using [[foundation]]s 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. This makes the basement a fully usable space accessible by Sims, so long as the Sims have a means to reach the basement. |
||
| ⚫ | Basements are not possible at all in ''The Sims'', as that game lacks both foundations and a dedicated basement tool. The basement tool was not included in [[The Sims 3 (console)|''The Sims 3'' for console]], but a basement can still be constructed using foundations in the same manner as in ''The Sims 2''. |

{{Tip|One of the easiest of way is doing this is by pacing down a modular stairs (or more, one after another) on the ground. Then, after removing the small stairs (with the sledgehammer tool or selected stairs with {{key|ctrl}} key held down), the terrain can be leveled down with the leveling terrain tool.}} |
