@ChrisinLiberty , I'll admit I'm no building expert and very seldom do we get gameplay/build questions here. In regards to using mods/cheats/other programs, that is at your discretion and may render the build unplayable or corrupt your game.
If you would like my advice, I would modify your build to look like the building you are trying to recreate. Many builders modify the floor plans to conform to the game limitations no matter the version of the Sims they are playing. They quite often end up with a build that looks exactly like what they were trying to recreate without having to "break" the game to do it. Please remember that Sims 2 is an older game and trying to push beyond the limits of the game may break it or the build.
I think the original game only allowed for 5 floors in a build and the 5th floor was usually the roof. It's been awhile since I tried to build that many floors.

I can give it a try; limiting the floors needed for my building. And I know the game is 16 years old, but thought that with the passage of time and technology, it would improve better. Turns out I could’ve been wrong about the setheightallowedlevel being able to fully work in modern PCs. I’d try again building what I’m going for, perhaps. The reference is at 13 floors but it looks more than 13 floors high in-person, though.
I’m aware of the mods and hacks that can corrupt my game. I’ll keep them noted.
