'''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 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. |

[[The Sims 3/Patch 6|Patch 6]] for ''The Sims 3'' and [[The Sims 4/Patch 15|patch 15]] for ''The Sims 4'' introduced the '''Basement Tool''' into [[build mode]], allowing the construction of basements on houses without foundations. The tool was previously used to construct the [[tomb]]s included in ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures]]''. Basements created using this tool will be considered an additional storey level under the ground, and when viewed the surrounding area will be black, rather than showing the terrain. The basement tool 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 in ''The Sims 3'' and ''The Sims 4'' can be as deep as four stories. |

To build a basement in ''The Sims 3'', the basement tool can be used to zone in an area for a basement to be constructed. Both straight and diagonal boxes can be zoned in using the tool. A basement that is constructed using the basement tool can be accessed with the camera by using the floor controls to change focus of the floor to the floor below the ground level. Additional, deeper basement floors can be built underneath the first floor of the basement using the basement tool. |
