Sims 4 More Floors Mod
Ted Brathwaite
How can I make a multi-floor building so I can make sure floors are linked together and people can move between floors using elevators while statistics such as throughput and utilization are recorded separately? What would be the step-by-step process if I have a floor plan currently in the model with a grid linked to A* navigator and want to add either empty plane or CAD drawings to add more floors.
To create a second floor that people can move to you need to add a second A* grid and add an elevator bank object. This section of the user manual has step by step instructions for how to set up the elevator bank.
You can add more CAD drawings to provide a visual for the floor. You can also add visual planes to mark the floors or to drag objects into, but they also block your view of objects below them which can be annoying.
I'm relatively new to Sims 4 & familiar with the build features. However, when I try to create a floor for the second floor (the house started off as 1 story), nothing happens when I try to select flooring. I can change the flooring on the first floor though. I have already removed the roof & added a staircase and outer perimeter walls for the second floor. Am I doing something wrong or is there a glitch? I currently have a Sim that needs more space for all of her possessions. I'm currently playing using a PC with Windows 10. I tried to add a screenshot, but it said the file was too large when I tried to add it here.
What happens when you click on the floor of the 2nd story? Does it outline a room? If not, then the space is not fully enclosed. So, make sure that there are no missing wall sections. If it does, go up a level with the room selected and click on the yellow outline. If it says build a ceiling, then click it and build the ceiling.
If you click on a wall, does it select just that wall? Again, the game is not seeing the space as a room, and you'll need to make sure you've enclosed the room.
And for screenshots: Screenshots taken by the game camera are usually too big to load here. Usually, if you hold the Windows button and hit the Print Screen button, the pics generated that way will be small enough. Or if you just want to upload a snippet, then its hold the Windows button, Shift - S. If you still can't get one that is small enough, then you'll have to take the pic to your photo editor and resave it in another format. I save mine as a JPG when I need to upload a pic here.
Holding down the Windows button just brought up the windows menu when I tried to use that button with the print screen button. But I was able to resize it & attached below. The level above this I was able to add a roof, but the staircase didn't go to that level before I added a roof.
I can't tell from the pic how many floors you have. I can tell that there's more than one though. There is a limit of 4 floors above ground. And the ceiling of the 4th floor is the floor of the roof. You should be able to get a stair up to the roof. The game does let you put walls up there, but you won't get a ceiling, so the space is open to the outside. Imo, that is just so you can put an ornamental fence like many historic homes have that use mansard roofs. What I think I see in your pic is that you've hit the upper limit and can't go any higher. So, how many floors are there on the building?
So, try this. Use the Custom Wall Tool to redraw all the walls on the second floor. On the second floor, just start at one corner and trace over the walls from corner to corner until you are back to where you started. It'll wipe out any wall paint but that's easy to fix. After doing that, you should be able to place floor tile.
If you still can't do it at that point, then drop down a level and select a room, go back up a level and click on the yellow outline around the top of the room below. If it says build ceiling, then click on the message to build a ceiling. Do that for all the rooms below. Then try to place floor tile on the second floor. That should work and let you place the floor.
Thank you. It took some playing around with the wall tool, but I finally realized that the issue was I didn't have a light in the room so the flooring didn't show up correctly. Once I realized where I was able to add staircases to, I realized I had another level I wasn't aware of. Hopefully my sims people approve of the new room & furnishings!
Is the prize worth it? Yes, there are some really nice elevators and escalators available but you do have to buy them, it also is quite tricky to complete the quest within the time limit especially if it takes you ages to save up and build the community center.
The game says I have to complete the multi story renovations quest to be able to build the community center, what is the problem?
There is no problem, you have to start the multi story quest and the first goal is to build the community center so you cannot build it until you get that first goal in the quest
Some times are slightly different on my game, why is this?
Times may vary depending on the star rating of the item you are using, as the higher star rating an item has the quicker you will complete a goal
Some times are really off/ different goals show for me, why is this?
This will be because the quest has been updated recently, I try my best to keep these posts up to date but it is difficult as I cannot redo every quest each time the game is updated. If you notice any changes please let me know so I can update the post
You can only use the elevator to get to the floor above, so if you have more than 2 floors to your house and have an elevator on the ground floor you will need another elevator on the second floor to be able to reach the third floor and so on.
You cannot miss main quests, they start automatically when you can complete them so you must be on a previous quest at the moment, that will need to be completed first and any other quests that come before this one as main quests have to be completed in order, this post shows you the order they have to be completed in: -sims-freeplay-main-quests/
I am confused. How can I complete the multi story quest by sending a sim to the community center if I do not have a community center and to build a community center, I have to have completed the multi story quest.
I do not have a community center. It says to build a community center, I must have completed the multi story quest. However, I cannot start the quest until the community center is built, which I cannot even start.
The first task is to build the community center so once you have completed this task you will be able send your sims there. You cannot start building the community center until you get the task to build it in this quest. You will be able to start this quest once you have completed all the previous main quests.
By default, The Sims 2 allow you to built up to 5 levels. This means houses like basement + 3 floors + roof or terrace. You can eliminate the basement, or built an underground floor inside basement. There is a TRICK that allow building 6 levels: put a dormer on the highest level, but this will not allow anymore stepped roofs taller than one floor.
University Expansion Pack allows to change the floor limit: press Ctrl+Shift+C when you are in Neighborhood (NOT in a lot), type sethighestallowedlevel 16 (or any number up to 255), then open any lot and you can built more levels. If the height limit was reached, just put a dormer to unlock the limit.
In neighborhood views you will not see floors tiles higher than 150 steps from street level. Each floor have 16 steps and foundation normally have 4 steps, 16 steps x 9 floors = 144 steps, you can use raise ground or use foundation of max 6 steps, however ground floor raised at levels not divisible by 4 cause a ugly look in neighborhood, so when you are building skyscrapers you should stick at 4 step foundation and 9 floors.
You can also create a huge hole in the ground and by this way you can have the floor tiles displayed even at 16th level (the game crash at 16 levels regardless of the height from street level), but again will look ugly.
The Sims 4 allow you to build up to 4 levels above ground and 2 levels under ground (basement). Foundation does not count as level, it is added automatically over entire house and you can adjust its height from 0 to 9 steps even after the house was built.
I started playing The Sims in 2003 and The Sims 2 became my favorite game, I built over 50 houses in The Sims 2 and few houses in The Sims 3 too, which I offer for free download on this website.
This website was originally strictly for content made by me, but since 2018 I added more game information such as individual pages for each The Sims 3 world with list of lots, which turned a successful way to increase website traffic.
Contact me via LiveChat (in lower-right corner of screen) or email [email protected] if you need help regarding my content (houses I built in The Sims), have suggestions for new houses that I can build, report broken links or errors that need correction, etc.
Smart thermostats are a significant step up from standard thermostats thanks to added accuracy with settings, remote access capabilities, and impressive energy savings potential. However, no thermostat will serve you well if it's not set correctly. This can be a bit of a challenge if you have more than one floor to sufficiently heat and cool. Master Mechanical is here to help with this dilemma with advice on setting your thermostat if you have a multi-story home.
