Line 1:
'''Basements''' are underground floors that can be built underneath some buildings in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3]]''. Basements were originally created using the foundation tool, and were sometimes difficult to create until a patch was released for ''[[The Sims 3]]'', which added the Basement tool into the [[Build Mode]]<ref>[http://llnw.thesims3.com/content/global/gameupdate/ep1/gameupdate_v1_5_en_us.pdf ''The Sims 3'' game update 1.5 release notes]</ref>; this tool was also included in ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures]]'', and can be used to create [[tomb]]s.
 
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.
