in SIMS3 can you build a house into a hill without issues?

In SIMS2 it was almost impossible to build a house into the side of a hill so that you could enter at the top of the hill and the bottom. The terrain would not actually come up close enough to the house and lining up the bridge between the top of the hill and the top entrance just didn't happen for me.

I am trying to build this house:

front where main entrance is (http://pics.livejournal.com/lilibat/pic/0006b02y)

Hahaha...no.

The build tools are almost identical to Sims 2.

Edit: BTW, I wasn't laughing at you, I was laughing at the hope of trying to recreate that house with those build tools. The walls would autoflatten the hill for one.

Yeah, tell me about it.

Oh well, no SIMS3 for me I guess. Thanks for letting me know!

You can easily build a walk-out basement though, just as you can in TS2. All lot edges in TS3 are flat, though, so you'd have a funky slope along the lot edges due to your hill sculpting, but if you do it on a big enough lot that you can make it look natural, it'd be fine.

If you take a look in our creator guidelines for lots (http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=MTS2:Creator_Guidelines/Sims_3_Lots_and_Houses) for sims 3, you'll see a house with a walk-out basement that I built in TS3. I'm by no means a master builder but it was quite easy. You do have to deal with the same limitations of the 1 tile slope on a basement (I don't know if the same no-slope basements trick works for TS3) but it works, and you might be able to convert a house like that to the same idea.

Possibly. Thanks for the info!
