A '''shell building''' is a [[buydebug]] object, that serves as a large fixed-exterior that acts as shelter. In practice, they're used to give a complex yet aesthetical architecture look, that would otherwise be impossible to create. Because of their varying size, some come with a fixed height and are useful for alluding persistent size that is the interior.
'''Shell buildings''' is the name given for buildings which have a large exterior, but with a smaller playable interior.
 
Examples of these buildings include the pyramids and the dragon cave exterior in ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures]]''. The [[penthouse]]s of ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'' are also shell buildings.<ref name="simguru tweet">[https://twitter.com/TheSims3/status/19858608426 TheSims3 tweet] - The apartments are extensions of shells from ''World Adventures''. Big models, but with some floors that can be built and lived in.</ref> ''[[The Sims 3: Showtime]]'' adds shell buildings. In ''[[The Sims 3: University Life]]'', university buildings are also shells. In ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]'', many [[community lot]]s are covered in futuristic shells. In ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures]]'', the rooms in the tombs are pitch black if not explored. ''[[The Sims 4: City Living]]'' added [[apartment]] shells that are similar to ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[penthouse]] shells. ''[[The Sims Mobile]]'' introduces various shell buildings for careers.
Anything that's within a shell (an object, wall segment and flooring) can only be modified with <tt>RestrictBuildBuyInBuildings</tt> cheat enabled.<ref>Making any alteration in it (i.e placing an object in it) will render the hand tool useless for picking up the building.</ref><ref>Therefor, the only possible way of deleting is through testingcheats on and by shift-clicking on it</ref> However, creating a smaller interior and utilizing hidden room markers for outer halls is completely optional. All shell buildings are fixed with their own entrance doors.
 
Examples of these buildings include the pyramids and the dragon cave exterior in ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures]]'', penthouses and apartments in ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: City Living]]'' respectively, private and big show venues in ''[[The Sims 3: Showtime]]'', and futuristic shells in ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]''. ''[[The Sims Mobile]]'' introduces various shell buildings for careers.

'''Skyscrapers''' are shell buildings that were shipped with ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]''.<ref>[https://twitter.com/TheSims3/status/19858329424 TheSims3 tweet] The tall buildings can actually be lived in.

Skyscrapers can be placed in build mode, though, as with any rabbit hole, it has to be placed before a family moves in. Although many shells can be obtained from the [[buydebug]] catalog, some of them are unroutable due to broken door entrances.<ref>https://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=613589</ref>

Shell buildings are present in the expansion introduced [[Starlight Shores]] world. However, not all of them are available in the build mode section of [[buydebug]]. Based of the examinations of modifying few of these buildings, all can possibly hold the maximum of five story height with a flat roof on top.
