The Sims 4 How to Create Split Levels using Platforms 

Agree indeed

Omg yeah and it glitched out sometimes

every expansion pack update cant be the best build update. literally everyone always says the new update before an expansion pack is the best

Yes,certainly! this.... and the update with the stairs. That was also great.

@@judas1523 I mean I wouldn't say the modular stairs or updated door/window placement were the best build updates. I agree with others that this is the best "so far". My builds will look a lot different having platforms vs when we didn't have them and I think they give more creative freedom than previous updates like the better window placement.

simgurus confirmed on twitter that you won’t be able to place platforms inside pools :(

@@plumbobpotatoes Dang it, well that sucks, but I figured as much, still lots of uses for platforms though, so all good.

@@plumbobpotatoes That really sad... I mean what processing restraint is there for them to not do it?

Maybe we can do it with moveobject cheat?

@@MsDesignDiva maybe in a future update since the community asked a lot about platforms in pools!

same! went to the comment section to start a petition! 😂😂 it looked really beautiful, tho unfinished in some spots! maybe he could also make a video where he fully furnishes it?

@@Klaranella I'll sign that petition!!

Yes im obsessed with all those high and low platforms. I could never build it myself so it needs to be on the gallery

So so pretty but oh god what a nightmare for wheelchair users!

I came here to find out where I can download the house!!! Please share it!!!

do u know his name on the gallery i can find it! :)

@@realesttty His gallery ID is JamesTurnerYT but he cant put it on the gallery as this is an early access version and he cant use the gallery. He might put it on the gallery when the pack comes out though (Nov 13)

@@eibbanahgallac9369 oh thank you! I was asking for a starter home he made a while ago

@@realesttty it won’t be up yet the pack isn’t out but I think his gallery name is Jamesturneryt

Have you found it on the Gallery?

My parents house is on a hill in Canada. The basement has access outside on one side and the upstairs is ground level on the other side. It would be nice to be able to do that in the game as real houses aren’t always on flat lots and have different t entry level heights.

We have those here in Canada too! Pretty much all the houses in my municipality have above ground type basements. Plus with this update I can finally accurately recreate my childhood house!

thats not a basement. thats a cellar or something else

my first thought exactly! finally the basements can have some windows just above the ground!

We call that a “walk-out basement” in the Midwest of the States. I’m excited to finally be able to properly make one!

SAME

Me too, but that's mostly because I'm not a builder at all haha.

Haha same because I’m not a builder 😅

Tfw you relate to buggy code more than the actual Sims. 👁👄👁

Yeah, I tend to use half walls more than the fences as there aren't very many I like to use for interiors (or not for the vibe of the house I'd be working on, or they don't match the wood tone of the stairs or have a matching version for the stairs railings). But then I'd also like a half wall without the massive ugly trims they insist on using. We have a half wall at the top of our stairs in real life and there's no trim on it and I'd hate it if there was as it would just be something sharp and pointy to walk into. LOL

platform stair for modern house front door is so sick, i seen some real architectural use wide stair platform entrance is so cool with outdoor lamp on every platform stair.

Don't doubt yourself. You can do it girl! 🤗

Ha! I see what you did there!!

That was awful. Thank you.

Right??

That’s what I thought as well

and i have a philosophy atar exam tomorrow :')

shift to architecture

Blasphemy chem was my favorite :'(

@Ravi So truuue! 😂

YES! I hate the stupid wide trims on the walls. The colours never match with anything else and they look impractical rather than looking good.

i don't thinks so unless maybe you added a platform to the floor above and bring it down.

I'm guessing that might be possible if you build on the second floor and lower the platform, then you'll have the room underneath like you would normally?

@@ADMNtek I don't think this would work because it looks like you won't be able to delete one of the 'walls' on the platform so you wouldn't be able to like see to the floor below

@@foxyproxy123 right didn't think about that. now i wonder if we can put windows/doors into them. but i don't think so.

Damn probably not 😞

I think if you start with it in your game it will be less intimdating. For me it is the same but i think if i have it and play around with it a bit it will be okay

@@lunavdds4926 Yes, I hope so. 😊

about the heights, I've seen that it depends on the sim. Adults and teens can only go so high without hitting the ceiling, but since kids and toddlers are much shorter they can reach places adults wouldn't be able to. So it's all about playing around with it. Also that could be wrong, I didn't see it from a guru just a comment on yt

What's the December update?

@@djhammers6528 Oh yeah Thanks

Yeah, he said that in the video at 8:39

@@piotrwilk1984 I know but what if you put a half wall around the platform, will it still work?

@@22Demi I think no, and also in the video when James was building lounge he said that he put a half wall over a platform so sims wouldn't walk there

@@piotrwilk1984 true but he had a half wall in the platform, i don't think you can step (not walk over) on them but it would be nice, right?

No, if there's a half wall they won't be able to walk up on the platform.
