Um. @Takissis ... you don't need MoveObjects to use the "" grow/shrink function. I'm not sure it's actually considered a cheat.
@Eurostar1127 From what I can see in the picture, what's happening is that the wall heights are the same, but the foundation heights are different. Without cheats, this is only possible if the garage is completely separate from the house and therefore treated as a completely separate building.
If you really want different wall heights (ie, different distance from floor to ceiling, not just "one on a higher foundation than the other") then one thing you can do is this: Build your house as normal. Build a box separate from the house, where the garage would be. (NOTE: no part of the garage or the box may touch the house!) Build your garage on top of the box, so it's actually the second storey of this building. Delete the box. Now lower the garage down to ground level. The downside is that because your garage is considered a "second storey", sims can't actually just walk in from the ground level. But if the garage is just for show rather than gameplay use, maybe that's not an issue.
