How can I build a basement in a pre-existing house that has foundation?

Please someone help, when I moved my sims in I just have renovated the house and made it bigger and better. I want to add a basement but I can not get stairs to work... I know from google searching that it seems to be a bug. I have tried guides that involve using truelevel cheat or whatever but I am either not doing it right or it doesn't work for me.

Can anyone help?

  • I think how I did it was I deleted the foundation and then re foundated around it? I know I've done it I'm just not sure how.

    It is a very tedious task that requires a thorough tutorial.

    Are you familiar with the forums on TheSims3.com ?

    There are several advanced lot creators in the community. You may find many of their threads here.

    My best advice is to simply build a small shed containing a staircase in the backyard of the lot to the basement below

    Hey

    I've attached some pics here for you, explaining how to do it. I hope it's clear and makes sense - the pics are pretty self explanatory. I've taken a premade house from Dragon Valley and created a basement. 

    Here is a link to the slideshow: http://s1277.photobucket.com/user/Andromache18/library/. I really hope it works and you understand. 

    Please let me know how it goes
