There are some exceptions to this rule, however. This is because Sims are unable to walk (or climb) over the top of half-walls. As a general rule of thumb, staircases and ladders cannot be placed in the same area as a half-wall. It is important to make sure that half-walls placed in front of platforms do not block access to a staircase or ladder. Storey levels can only be connected to one another using stairs or ladders. The only exception to this is if your Sim is attempting to move between two storey levels. Whenever you select a room, or a piece of flooring, you will have the option to raise/lower that room or flooring piece to create a platform.Īlthough you are able to use stairs and ladders to connect platforms of all heights, if there is only one step between two platforms, or between a platform and the floor, your Sims will be able to move between the two areas without the use of a staircase or ladder. You do not necessarily need to use the Platform Tool to create a platform. Regardless of height, all platforms placed on the same floor are considered to be on the same level as each other and can, therefore, be connected together. Unlike foundations, however, platforms of different heights can be placed next to each other. Just as with foundations, you cannot place windows or doors on the side of a platform. This means that it’s possible to create a space that is only accessible to child/toddler Sims. Interestingly, the Game does accommodate for different Sim heights. This is easily achieved by building with a Sim on your lot and playtesting the build as you go. The ability to do this is super useful (allowing you to create things like display podiums, shelving, and raised planters) but it does mean that you will need to double check that a space is accessible if you intend your Sims to utilise that particular area of your build. The Game will allow you to create spaces that are inaccessible to Sims. One thing to be aware of when building platforms is Sim accessibility.
