Basements are a great way to maximize lot space, or a welcome addition to any home if you have a paranoid Sim that needs a secret bunker! Unfortunately basements can sometimes be a bit sad with no natural light. We need basement windows!
Adding windows directly to a basement doesn’t work, since you’re just looking outside and straight into dirt! A great hack around this problem is to add pool windows – follow these easy steps to brighten up any underground space in The Sims 4!
How to add basement windows in The Sims 4:
- Locate the basement tool in Build mode
- Place your basement
Put your basement wherever you’d like it to be
- Locate the pool tool in Build mode
- Place your pool
Make sure the pool is inside the basement you placed in earlier steps.
- Choose your pool windows
Drop down the basement level and select your pool window. Note: bigger windows let in more light
- Add your pool windows
Let there be light! Add windows to your pool and see how your basement becomes a much brighter place
Now you know how to add windows to your basements. Check out these Tumblr posts for some pool inspiration, or start one of these fun challenges and build a basement pool to suit the different themes.
Happy Simming!
