Have you ever wanted to build a lot with a no-slope basement - but the Grid-Adjuster confuzzled you?
Well, now you can!

...With these new, handy-dandy, No-Slope Basement TEMPLATE lots.

There are limits of course... the big one being that you can NOT change the foundation - at ALL.
But, there are 3 sizes/shapes available.
All are built on regular sized Maxis lots
...with the sun coming from the front.
They come with the standard 4-step foundation, or in a 2-step foundation version.
And each has space for a driveway (the gravel is just a placement suggestion!)

  • Small = 2X2 with a square shaped foundation
  • Medium = 3X2 with a "L" shaped foundation
  • Large = 3X3 with a "U" shaped foundation

Each lot has an easily identifiable custom thumbnail.
They have been cleaned/compressed with Chris Hatch's Lot Compressor.

One of the biggest benefits of building No-Slope basements is that the ground around your houses will not be deformed in hood view:

I hope you have fun playing around with these foundations! Here are two important tips/tricks to remember:

link

  • You can attach fences to the foundations; but NOT walls.
  • Do not use CFE with these - unless you know what you are doing.
  • If stairs won't place, you may need to turn on the "MoveObjects" cheat.
  • REMEMBER : The "undo" button is your friend!

Note - Large dogs are going to need Simler90's Stair Mods to be able to access these 2-Step foundations.

No Custom Content Included

Have fun building! ;)

I have example lots available too - just to give you some ideas for how to use these templates. Feel free to "reverse engineer" any lot I have ever built (tear it down to the bare foundation and rebuild it to your hearts desire!)

Links to the example lots: (Whose names are completely UNinspiring.)
The "small" lots - Little Pink House and The Cabin
The "medium" lots - Suburban Ranch and Stop & Play
The "large" lots - 8 Apartments and the New Mall
