Platforms are difficult!

The gamechangers made it look so easy. I can put a platform in a room but as soon as I let go of the platform tool I can't select the platform again, the whole building goes up and down on a foundation.

  • I've managed to make one of those Tiny Home things, with the bed above the kitchen and bathroom. There is just room for the sims to stand in the kitchen, and only about one place they can stand in the bedroom. And they have to scoot in the double bed so the one on the far side has to go to bed first. I wish we could upload images, I can't face the hassle of working out how to host and link to it.
  • Oh gosh I was never a builder. I get too easily frustrated with it but I was trying out making a raised porch in front of the house with platforms. This is so complex ?..... I hope to see a lot of gallery rooms with platforms!!
  • Success :D I could upload, thanks! :)

  • I like that sunken floor.

    Imgur works well for images, I just copy/paste the BBCode in messages here.
  • Platforms are also a great way make the floor around a bed to stand out from the rest of the floor in a bedroom. I did a raised platform in the master bedroom and placed king or queen size bed on it.

    @Jazmi1396 Make sure you are using the up and down arrow on the wall tool to make the platform. using the arrows you have showing in your picture in the middle will just raise and lower the foundation which does not create a platform. There are up and down arrows in the same box that shows up to let you choose the wall height. Those are what you need for the platforms to work.


    Thank you! I had only one problem with platforms: uploading these rooms to a gallery as a room, but maybe it resolved. ;)
  • I've now made 3 builds with platforms & have learned to be very careful clicking the up & down arrows in the platform tool. Also, to have a divided platform it works if you make one section of your house a room then use the platform tool & you can delete the inside wall to make it more open. For example, the kitchen & livingroom.
