I was able to add a basement to Parkshore in Willow Creek (the house next door to the Goths) -- I uploaded it as Parkshore Revisited. I shrunk the downstairs bathroom from 3 tiles wide to 2, then was able to squeeze in a stairway between the bathroom and the original stairs going up. I didn't furnish the basement; it can be used for just about anything (I added a room to the side for collectables like insects and frogs.)

I want to thank everyone for sharing their pics, they gave me great ideas for my newest unfurnished starter (Streamlet Family Starter)
I have a thing for starters, especially what I call mir* starters. *mir = move in ready: kitchen - counter(s), stove, fridge; and at least one bathroom - toilet, sink, shower/tub.
I did the stairs through the foundation similarly to how we had to do stairs through foundations in s3.
Ps, I noticed that basement walls can be taller or shorter than the main house walls.
Ok, somehow I've missed it, I guess. But how do I get the ground to delete so that I can put an outside entrance to my basement? I've tried placing walls around it to delete it like you do a floor. But it didn't work.

I recently had triplets (thanks to a particularly most download/favorited sim in the community) and there was no room in the house for anything. Now my triplet boys have basement rooms. Yay!
And the first thing I built was an underground passage from the main house to the work shed sitting at the other side of the lot, leaving that as the only way to get into the shed. It even helped me figure out how to get stairs down with foundations in place. Basements have been the big thing I have missed in 4, and the fact they just appear like a Christmas present just makes me so happy. Seeing so much creativity in this thread adds to my happiness even more. Happy Thread Time! *dancing*
Omg I'm using that idea, I don't know why I haven't thought of that before. Sometimes when I look home designs here in the forums it makes me feel dumb for not exploring my creativity lol

I just remembered, I tried to make Redwall Abbey a while ago. Now I can add the wine cellars! The gatehouse in the corner was the tiny house my Sim was trapped in for the Room Challenge. The Abbey was how I managed to get the Mansion Barron Achievement. But with two levels of basement available, and another floor going up, I might just start a new one from scratch. (Plus, without the restrictions from the Room Challenge I can get actual apple trees, and try to make a better pond.)

You got me excited for a second.. then I remembered this isn't TS3 anymore and we don't have a WA expansion for nectar making
Here's an idea if you have GTW: you could fill your basement with those bubbly tanks. They did say you could put things in there, and that you could make the manequins look like real sims. Soooo... put fake people in the water tanks plus have a couple of cloning machines in the lair, you could totally live out the scenario from the movie The Island.

Yeah, it would be nice
I really should try to make Redwall Abbey in TS3, I'd probably be able to get it a lot closer. You can't make the Abbey without the wine cellars! ^_^
Honestly, I've not been happy enough with TS4 to purchase the camping pack, and I will not be purchasing GTW, either. They need to add a lot more than basements and fix all the glitches before I can bring myself to spend any more money on this version, even if they did to a WA type pack.

The first thing I did with basements was make a bunker-type house, where there's a small entrance shed that leads into a large house underground. Can't wait for lockable doors- four floors up and two down would be great for apartments

Even more possible when I get GTW and can add prison bars to the underground corridor, and conceal the main access with a hidden door.

I have never been in love with the dark separation of basements so last night I tried something new for me.... I added a "room" one square wide down one wall, sky blue wallpaper and added lights so then in my basement I could add windows and it looked amazing.. right up until I play walls down, then it just looks like a bunch of lights hanging around on the outside of my basement. Hey, at least I tried.
That's cool I am going to make a underground club and call it The Dungon after the club in Southampton Inalso have a club called KAOS after the sadly closed club now ( it was. Loses down then some guy baught the property changed the name and reopened it as a gay bar) so that's what I am doing

which Sim is that?

You can engrave your loved ones urn/headstones. It's almost the same thing. When you mouse over them it says what you typed.
Yeah, it would be nice

Your signature is so relevant to that crypt!
