How to Raise Foundatation in The Sims 4

Everyone has different reasons for playing games like The Sims 4. Some like real life simulation, some like character creation. A third group plays the game just to build great houses. If you’re one of those gamers who can’t make their inner architect listen, this guide is for you. In this article, we will answer the question of How to Raise Foundation in The Sims 4.

Building a house has been one of the most fun parts of The Sims series since the first games. Especially with the unlimited money cheat, it is much more enjoyable. Cheating or not, knowing how to build a house is essential in The Sims 4. For this, you should make good use of the game’s build editor.

Let’s say you decide to build a house where your new Sims will feel happy. Let’s build a beautiful house foundation as a first step.

The Sims 4: House Foundation Guide

What you need to do to change the base height in The Sims 4 is quite simple. Move to the center of any room while in construction mode. You will see a transparent box with up and down arrows. You can raise and lower the foundation of your house using these arrows.

It is quite normal that you cannot find the arrows at first glance. For some reason, the developers designed these arrows to be transparent. You have to be a little careful to see it.

Raising the foundation in just one room will be enough for the whole. So you don’t need to go to each room separately and repeat this process. However, foundations on some terrains may be of different heights. It’s all about your project.

How to remove foundations in The Sims 4?

The game does not allow you to remove the foundation. But we can still find a practical solution using the build editor.

As we explained above, go to a room in the editor and find the transparent arrows. Use the down arrow to change the value of the foundation down to negative. So even if you didn’t actually “delete” it, in practice it will no longer appear.

We hope our How to Raise Foundation in The Sims 4 guide will help you. In The Sims 4, you don’t just build houses. Sometimes you want to go to work, tend your garden or get a wonderful pet. Be sure to check out our The Sims 4 guides on these and more.
