This tutorial will teach you how to make an arched bridge in a very easy way. Even for a beginner. There are a few things to think of after you have built your bridge and those are:
- As we are using a cheat, remember to turn it off
- Always test your bridge with Sims
- Also test your lot on another
location as it has been said the bridge doesn’t work properly if the lot
is moved.
So let’s move on to the building:

Step 1: Build 2 1x1 foundation blocks with an uneven number of tiles between them. Uneven numbers makes the best result.

Step 2: Build another 1x1 foundation block in the middle, 1 tile out on the side. This allows you to place floor tiles between the 2 blocks

Step 3: Drag the floor across and then delete the extra foundation block.

Step 4: Choose some stairs you like and a fence you like. The fence can be added later when you are finished if you prefer that.

Step5: Now use the raise terrain tool with the smallest circular brush and maximum strength and raise the terrain a few clicks 2 tiles from the bridge. Just so you create a small hill.

Step 6: Build a 1x1 foundation block over the hill

Step 7: Now bring up the cheat box and enable the cheat “constrainfloorelevation false”
![]()
Use the terrain levelling tool and start on the foundation and drag it over the bridge, leaving 1 tile on each side.

Step 8: The result will be like this. Remove the foundation you just placed.
