Am trying to build barns with basements (quite common in NE US of A, and so far no go. Not the basemen as such, but the sloping sides of the excavation. None of the standard issue tools enable either a vertical land cut or a means to connect the barn to the terrain outside. Yes, I could put the barns on regular foundations, but the overhanging provision for floor tiles prevents making a ramp to gain access. Connecting stairs may work for sims, but not wagons, cows, etc. All help gratefully accepted.

That and it will help avoid them having a different mental picture of what you want.
Or a link to a page that has an image of what you're looking for (letting us know which image if there are more than one on the page).

I suggest you try experimenting with it on another lot to see how that goes, before applying to the lot you want to change.
ETA: You can look at MikeInside tutorial (pictures, too) of how to build with a slope around the buildings (house inside a mountain slope) and go from there.
I built a pool against the house, then built the basement. Initially, the basement walls weren't as big as the ground floor and only bordered the pool. I then was able to adjust the size of the basement to suit my purposes. I haven't tried this method without the pool, but perhaps building a small basement room then adjusting is the workaround this issue. Good luck!
