You can create illumination by adding windows or electric lights. You’ll want more doors to connect the rooms inside your house, as your Sims can’t walk through walls. You can create doors by clicking on the door on the picture of the house, and, from this point on, the same goes for any other features you wish to add to your home’s superstructure. Put it near the street for easy access, and, preferably, not too far from your mailbox. If that happens, you won’t get ceilings, and you need ceilings for a roof. If you go around smashing walls with the Sledgehammer, the game may stop considering your rooms to be anything more than a collection of walls. You can delete walls you don’t want by using the Sledgehammer tool, located on the toolbar at the top of the screen. Building walls cost a lot of money, so don’t make your house too big. Drag the arrows that appear on the ends of your walls to expand or contract them as you see fit. Using this tool you can set down walls and form your own rooms or create rooms in preset shapes.
You can create walls, or even empty rooms, via the Walls and Empty Rooms button, to the right of the picture of the house. Regardless of whether you use Styled Rooms or create your own, your house needs multiple things to actually be a house.
