Build tools
So I've been playing around with building houses a lot lately, and I've been having a heap of fun with creating some interesting houses. But I've found that the build tools are good for building small to large family homes, but not so much penthouses and mansions.
I came across this as I was trying to undertake a build inspired by this house I found on google.

So you can see there's a lot of split level things going on, different sized walls on the same level etc. So here are my suggestions.
1. Instead of having building decks or raised foundations confined to the bottom level of the building, allow us to build these things on any floor.
2. Allow for splitting of levels in larger rooms, or even raised foundation areas within normal rooms (e.g: stages). This would mean we wouldn't have to delete floors inside rooms just to make a split level room. I don't know much about programming but perhaps making raised areas within a room could be similar to the half walls tool.
3. This is a small issue really but it would be cool if we could create fountains on any lot, at any level. Because it's a little bit disappointing I can't make a fountain in my penthouse.
4. allow for two rooms of different heights on the same level.
5. Allow for an option to create a skylight when placing roofs down, or even a roof with no ceiling. (picture below)

So these are just my ideas, I'm not really fussed about whether or not they are "realistic" because as I said I know nothing of game programming or if there would be any obstacles within the program of this game to making these things happen.
What does everyone else think? Does anyone else have any ideas for how we can improve the build tools?

Spoiler
Also sorry if some of my points make no sense, I have a really bad sinus infection going on right now and I have trouble thinking clearly
