Oh, I know that, but I meant that you can have a basement that lines up with the main level and you don't have to use a foundation in order to get a basement in Sims 3. I don't know why it doesn't feel like a basement to me if you can't "cut" into the ground. The way to do it in Sims 2 feels like a sunken level rather than a basement. Nonetheless, it is still minor thing that doesn't compensate for all the other things, which is why I stick with Sims 2. Now if Sims 4 can do split levels, that would be cool.
