Learn how to build amazing, pillar-free second stories in The Sims! Discover the trick to making your balconies float and impressing your friends with unique house designs.
Ever looked at your Sims' house and thought, "Man, those support pillars are *ugly*"? Or maybe you're going for that sleek Japanese aesthetic and they just don't fit? I totally get it. You might be wondering what happens if you build a balcony, then decide to get rid of those chunky pillars. Does the whole thing just collapse?
Nope! Your Sims' balconies will stay put, defying gravity like it's no big deal. You can literally sell all the pillars supporting your balcony, and the floor will just… stay there. Pretty wild, right?
You can take this even further. Got some Simoleons to spare? Try this: place just a ladder and a bunch of pillars, then build your entire second story on top of them. Once it's all built, sell off those pillars. If you leave just a few corner pillars, you can create a house that looks like some of the unique styles you see in Indonesia, with the main living space elevated high above the ground! It's a fantastic way to make your Sims' home stand out and spark some fun stories about why the house is built that way (like avoiding imaginary wild animals and floods!).
(As a little aside, though, wild animals and floods actually ARE the reasons why some people in real life have houses built like that!)
