TS3 Nine livable levels illusion
You can build livable 9 levels look Sims houses.
1 - build your base at maximum (5) level.
2 - on top : tile an area
3 - on level bottom tile along the wall (not mandatory but avoid further issues)
4 - each bottom level : break 1 wall

5 - elevate the ground to the maximum with the large brush
6 - starting under your tiling flatten the top. ( possible bug : may be some tiles stay at street level, use the brush , they overtake the other)
7 - delete you top tiling
8 - place as many column you need to have a tiled level above ground top

9 - build wall around. At this point you can add the 3 remaining levels, the building itself is done, (but you can do it later as a do to have better screen shots)
10 - remove column,
11 - flatten ground, your additional level is floating.

12 - close your opened walls
Now you need an access, normal stairs don't work. You need the “stealth stairs” trick.
Enter the cheat : ConstrainFloorElevation False
13 - build a 4*4 square room under your floating level.

14 - build a basement square outside
15 - flatten your square at this basement level

16 - remove a square of tiling in the center of the square
17 - place a stair in this hole IT DOES NOT TOUCH A BOTTOM WALL.

18 - from a square stayed in altitude flatten the storey.
19 - flatten the warped walls
http://thumbs2.modthesims2.com/img/3/7/1/2/8/2/MTS2_patul_974802_07.jpg
Enter le cheat : ConstrainFloorElevation True
20 - delete the basement square, (you can also delete stair walls and/or “elevator column” if needed but note with tiles where is the stealth stair)
21 - place doors.... you can test it !

22 ….Now, here is to you to finish the building adding a fence at 5th around the 6th level to mask the hole... the reason because this level starts ¼ wall under the top of the previous
Notes :
- Ground level is completely livable, further level also but not under the elevated part of the building
- In ts3 you can add height each wall with the CFE to make more impressive skyscrapers ...but only one window is allowed.
- Upper levels are inside the above level for outside light : 6th is in 2nd , 7/3, 8/7, 9/5. If you build them 2 or 3 squares inside lighting is better
Hope it help you ;)
Rar file ist the .pdf version of this tut
-FR.rar file is the french version
Update :
It is possible to add more levels :
before 20 (CFE true) if you want room to play on these level or before 12 if not redo from 1 starting not from ground but from "6th" floor where you delete the center. Redo and redo higher as possible ...

Due to game limitation, the ground elevate until 10 levels approximatively above street level, 15 levels seems to be the maximum... today...

You can build around 25 levels starting at the maximal diging level... If anyone want to do it... ;)
