House building
I was wondering if the Sims 4 is going to get a building options update of some sort in the future. Seeing as compared to Sims 3 it's severely lacking in options. Maybe this question has been long a...

Split levels can be done using a foundation on parts of the house. I have one house like this I got from the Gallery. I am not much of a builder myself preferring to get something from the Gallery and then modify it to suit me.
I think that the new roofs will be only in the Cats & Dogs expansion because it likely needs the higher minimum specs that comes with that.
@jpkarlsen, I have found one house in the Gallery that has a "sunken" kitchen of sorts that could be regarded as a split-level 🙂 , but I was not able to replicate this. I also tried to make my childhood friend's split-level house (it was awesome! 😎 ) but couldn't even get close to making the levels right. It was a 3 level house (not counting the attic) were the topmost floor was on top of the bottom floor, with the middle floor connecting them so you entered the house from the South (where the master bedroom and study were), went up a half staircase to dine and watch TV in the North part of the house, and went up another half-staircase were the children sleep in the top floor on the South side of the house! I'm also unable to make the Town-house my Uncle used to have nor could I make my college friend's split-level house. ☹️
I've also seen many posts from builders wishing they could make proper split-levels. I suppose some split-levels can be made, like the one I found on the Gallery, but my guess is not only are they very difficult to do, I think some types of split-levels are impossible.
Thanks for the info that the new octagonal roofs will probably be in the actual Cats 7 Dogs expansion!
If you know any info on split-levels on the Gallery, please share! ❤️
If you in the Gallery search for split-level you will get something to look at. However the possibilities are not that great currently. Maybe a future expansion will add better support for split level houses.
@jpkarlsen , thank you! 🙂
@d4rkpink, yes, many people want the return of landscaping tools! ❤️ Landscaping tools would also make building some types of split-level house much easier as well. 😉 Also,. I miss terraced lots, and I really miss being able to make your own little pond to fish in!
Fishing ponds can be done with a mod or cheats bb.showhiddenobjects and bb.moveobjects Basically place some fountain water and a fishing sign and you are good to go.
Here is a video on how to create a natural looking pond:
