The walls are too thin in the basement. I made some experimenting and was able to edit the arches so it give an illusion of thicker walls.

I started with my own single arch and after some experiment I found it works.

I also tried to extend one of EA's arch, the Egytian one.

It works too but I have some problem with the texturing. Maybe it is because it's something special with that arch, I don't know. As you can see in the picture the texturing is something special as you can recolor just the border on one side. I think it's great. The disadvantage is that the texture is stretched on the extension. But I think it works well if you dont't use geometrical patterns. I think wood works best.
Another disadvantage is that you can see the extension if you look along tthe wall because the wall is so thin. I can live with that!
The single arc cost 150$ and the Egyptian 195$. Both can be found among the other arches in the catalogue.
Polygon Counts:
Single arch: 388 vertices and 480 faces
Egyptian: 162 vertices and 164 faces.
Additional Credits:
As usual, I want to thank the developers of S3OC and S3PE and all the autors of different tutorials here and there.
This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below for more information.

Install Instructions
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.
For Package files:
1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Fileswiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
For Sims3Pack files:
1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
