Players can choose either a decking foundation, a patio foundation, an elevated foundation, a foundation for a stage or a brick foundation. With the ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night|Late Night]]'' patch of ''The Sims 3'', a new platform tool is introduced. It allows a player to create a flat elevated by a half-inch floor surface for Sims to step on. Unlike the foundation tool, it doesn't require stairs. It may or may not create and define contained content on it as within a "room".
Foundations were first introduced in ''The Sims 2'', and allowed for houses to be elevated some distance above the ground. The walls of a foundation can be repainted like any other wall, but they will not be treated as proper [[wall]]s by the game, and thus will not provide protection from the [[Weather (game mechanic)|weather]] if ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons|Seasons]]'' is installed. Foundation walls also cannot have wall objects placed on them.
 
Foundations will create a small crawl space between the floor above and the terrain below. Objects cannot be placed in the crawl space without the use of the [[moveobjects]] cheat. The [[terrain]] can still be edited underneath the foundation, and floor tiles can be added to the crawl space, although Sims will not be able to see or use them.
In ''The Sims 4'', foundations can be dragged to any height. Buildings that aren't connected to each other can have different foundation heights, or no foundation at all. To adjust foundation height, one can simply select any room and drag the widget in the center. As of [[The Sims 4/Patch 81|patch 81]], a stilted foundation was introduced in the game.
 
A foundation's walls technically extends past the lowest point on the lot. This can be seen when building a [[basement]] using foundations, or when digging beneath a foundation.
==The Sims 2==
In ''The Sims 2'', the foundation spans to the very low depths of the lot, as it can be seen when lowering terrain or creating a [[pond]] around the structure.
