'''Foundations''' are an [[Build mode|architectural object]] in ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4]]'', used to raise the level of the main floor. They can be used over uneven terrain.{{vgversion|TS2}}{{Vgversion|TS3}} In ''The Sims 2'', unpatched versions of ''The Sims 3'' base game, and [[The Sims 3 (console)|''The Sims 3'' for console]], foundations are required for the construction of [[basement]]s.
 
The foundation tool is used by clicking and dragging an a square area on the terrain.{{Vgversion|TS2}}{{Vgversion|TS3}}, or by clicking on a room and raising it up using the arrow that appears in its center{{Vgversion|TS4}}. There is also a diagonal foundation tool. Stairs, generally modular, can provide access to floors built on top of the foundation.
 
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 use. 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".

==The Sims 4==
Foundations in'' The Sims 4'' are very different from previous games. They are now created clicking on a wall and dragingdragging it upward, causing the entire building to be raised off the ground. Foundations are no longer hollow, so the top of the foundation is part of the ground floor.
Unlike previous games, foundations can be built and adjusted to any height. Prior to [[The Sims 4/Patch 73|patch 73]], all buildings on a lot had to share the same foundation height. Following the patch, buildings that are not connected to each other can have different foundation heights, or not be built on a foundation at all. The foundation height of each building can be adjusted by selecting a room using the foundation height tool and then dragging the widget in the center. If a foundation's height is lowered beneath ground level, it will produce a crater of the equivalent depth. [[The Sims 4/Patch 81|Patch 81]] introduced a stilted foundation that allows for construction over water.
