How do you create a second floor on The Sims 2?

Question

I just created a second floor (put walls and floor) but i cant get the roof on. It wont let me make a roof. HELP!!!

Answer 1

there IS a roof...

you dont see it though because they take it away so you can control your sim while moving in your house or if your adding furniture you can see where you put them...

Answer 2

If you are adding a second floor to a house that is already built, then you need to remove the roof from the first floor in order to place a roof on the second floor.

If you are building a two-story house from scratch, all you need to do is choose the roof pattern and style you want from the roofing menu and then start at one corner of the top of the second floor while holding you mouse button down and then drag the roof across to the opposite corner and then release the mouse button.  Remember that you have to be on top of the second floor (where you see the tile grids) in order to place the roof.  If you are trying to place it while inside the second floor (you see the first floor tile grids), then this is your problem.  Also, in your console in the bottom left-hand corner of your screen, make sure that you have the roof option clicked on or you won't see the roof even though it's there.

If you are still having trouble placing the roof, then you can always use the auto roof option and it will place the roof for you.

Good luck!
