The sunken room can be anywhere you want in the house. Windows will let light into the lower area Doors cannot be placed in the foundation part of the walls, so entry to the sunken room has to be via stairs. You can add windows to the sunken room, but they can only be placed on the wall area and not the lower foundation part of the wall. The default foundation has a ridge around the top, so you may want to select a different foundation type to get a smooth wall in the lower room. Note that if you move the house later, the flooring will stay behind as it is not really part of the room. The lower room will not have a floor, so you will need to choose a floor covering and drag it out over the area.

Now we can decorate both rooms how we like. Replace the wall between the two rooms with a fence -> Instead, we will replace some or all of the room with a fence. At this point, if we remove even one piece of wall to add stairs down to this lower level, it will no longer be seen as a room and the ceiling will be removed. Once you have two rooms, you need to use the sledgehammer tool and remove the floor from one room. Now divide this into two rooms with a wall. To make a split level or a sunken room, the rest of the house needs to be on a foundation, so let's start with building a rectangle room and lifting it up with a foundation. Split Levels and Loftsĭifferent levels in a build can be an interesting feature and are not too hard to do. Once you are comfortable with basic building, why not try your hand at a few more advanced building techniques.
