Talk:Basement

Misleading Info
"The basement tool in The Sims 3, can only be used on buildings that are not built on a foundation. The basement tool does not create basements for buildings on foundations; those basements must still be created in the same manner as they are created in The Sims 2. Basements created using the basement tool may go as deep as four stories below ground level."

This statement is misleading as you can actually have a basement under a building with foundations. It is just that you cannot have stairs going directly through the foundations. What you need to do is either have the stairs outside the house or delete some of the foundations inside the house (for example in the middle of the hallway) and have the stairs going down to the ground and then to the basement.
