Basement for an already built 2-storey house with no foundation?
Hi everyone who still plays or reads here
I've been trying for hours to successfully add a basement to a house with the GridAdjuster. From what I undertsand, it seems like it is possible to create a basement like this on an existing house. Unless I am mistaken?
I think I have finally figured out the placement numbers. Unfortunately, my house keeps stretchig down the third floor, or the third floor will retain the walls but the entire house will lose its floors, etc.
Here are some screenshots to show what I'm talking about, but first, here are the numbers I used for this attempt:
Levels - (I can't recall, I kept trying different things)
Depth: 12-18
Width: 3-8
Pattern: Basement
Elevation: -14 (I have tried -12 previously but that also did not work)
The house is 2 floors, no foundation, on a 1x1 grid lot. I have read the square count posts multiple times and after many failures it looks like the ditch is in the right place, it just sinks my whole house and I'm not able to build any floors, walls, or go below ground level even though there's a canyon beneath.
If anyone could please point me in the right direction, I would truly appreciate it!!
ETA: The Top down view is how the house should look without any basement attempts.
