}}A '''floor tile''' is an item in [[build mode]] that covers the floor of a building. Tiles can be placed on terrain, a foundation, or on or beside supports such as a [[wall]] or [[column]].
'''Floors''' are a type of object in [[build mode]] that can be placed on terrain, a foundation, or beside supports such as a [[wall]] or [[column]]. Sims will prefer walking on floor tiles over bare terrain, and can only walk on floor tiles on the upper stories of a building.


There are several types of floor tiles: tile, linoleum, stone, masonry, carpet, poured and wood. In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', the road and sidewalks also count as flooring, as they can be erased with '''[[moveobjects]]''' cheat enabled and such titles can be purchased from the Miscellaneous catalog of Floors & Ceiling category.<ref>It's worth nothing that the titles of the end edge of the road is, however, not available for purchase</ref>
Flooring comes in many different types, including tiles, linoleum, stone, masonry, and wood. Outdoor floor tiles, such as the pavement on roads and sidewalks, are also considered to be a form of flooring. The price of flooring typically varies from §2 to over §20 depending on the type of flooring.


Floor tiles can also be used to create flat [[roof]]s. This can be done simply by building floor tiles above a room. A room that is covered with a flat roof constructed out of floor tiles will still be sheltered from the [[Weather (game mechanic)|weather]].{{vgversion|TS2:S}}{{vgversion|TS3:S}}{{vgversion|TS4:S}}
The prices of flooring in ''The Sims 2'' may range from §2 to 19§.<ref>In mind with almost all expansion packs (with the exception of [[Bon Voyage]]) installed.</ref>

Floor tiles can also be used to create flat [[roof]]s. It can be created, either automatically via a button under Roof section of build mode or manually by placing and dragging floor tiles above a room. Just like with roofs, it's important to cover the weather-exposed rooms (that don't have any roof of sorts) with flooring, in order to protect inside environment from the elements.


===Ceiling===
===Ceiling===
Visible ceilings were introduced in ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]''. Before that, ceilings were assumed to be present, but were not visible. Ceilings can be created by placing floor tiles on the floor above. A generic "popcorn ceiling" floor tile is used as the default ceiling, although players can customize the ceiling by adding any floor tile they wish to it. As ceiling tiles are technically floor tiles, they can also be used as regular floor tiles. ''Apartment Life'' also introduces a "45 Degree Angle Tool" that allows the player to view the ceiling more easily.
A '''ceiling''' (from beneath) is a part of a house that separates the roof from the room, or one floor from another. Visible ceilings were introduced in ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'' [[expansion pack]] and from there onward continued in later games. Before that, ceilings were assumed to be present, but were not visible. Ceilings are also visible in ''[[The Sims 2: Pets (Console)]]''.


Ceilings are also visible in [[The Sims 2: Pets (Console)|''The Sims 2: Pets'' for console]], and the feature was carried forward into ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4]]'', where ceilings are automatically created when a room is built. ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions|Ambitions]]'' reintroduces the ability to customize ceilings in ''The Sims 3'', although the 45 degree angle tool was never reintroduced.
In ''The Sims 2: Apartment Life'' and ''The Sims 3: Ambitions'', the player can change the ceiling to be whatever pattern of flooring they wish.
