Answer: YES!



This is how it would look like.. You need the gozas there to make the floor level even with the stair level, although decorating on top of the raised "floor" you've made I haven't tested yet.. The two extra arches are holding up the floor above it, since they couldn't be connected.



This is where you would enter the house, since the mats are raised four times you'd need another few sets of the single stairs to get ya up there, otherwise.. Teleporters.

Here are the CONS of having a "sunken" room. (I didn't test a raised one, although I got the inspiration from Kimmy's design on her thread.)



Con #1: Since the floor is raised four levels with the house tool, you would not be able to access the telporters. You'd be able to go up, but not come down. So, I made "stairs" with different levels of the gozas, and placed more underneath, so you wouldn't see the wood floor through the raised "stairs." (I hope you're understand this, because I'm two seconds away from confusing myself!)



Con #2: This is the view while standing on the stairs in the "sunken" room. You're able to see the floor above you, because as we all know, you can't place floors over any four tiles of a staircase. Which leads to our next on the list..



Con #3: This is the view of the room ABOVE your "sunken" room. You're able to see two rows of where you couldn't place the tiles. I played around with normal goza's seeing if I could place them on a different tile to overlap the empty space, but it wouldn't let me. So the conclusion I came up with was to just put walls to overlap where the holes are. (I'm using circle transparency in most of the pictures if you didn't notice lol.)

WARNING: EVERYTIME YOU CUSTOMIZE YOUR HOUSE AFTER THE GOZA'S THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY RAISED WILL BE MOVED INTO YOUR MOVING CRATE! (I learned this the hard way, having to raise ALL the mats four levels FIVE times. The best way to pass the time is to click with your tool in rows and hum your favorite song.. lol!)

.. Not the best, but it IS possible!

Special thanks goes to Kimmy for the inspiration on spending 4 1/2 hours maybe trying to get this to work. And my new hatred towards goza mats! Thanks

Nice Zynia...looks like that took you some time to do too!
I think if you lock the gozas down they will stay put when you go into customize mode rather then the moving crate.

Sure nowwwwww somebody tells me lol. Thanks for the future tip Celsius, but I probably won't end up keeping this design, just like the others hehe.

and the floor above had to be open or you cant walk on the gazas

On the raised level on your design?

I can walk on all the goza's fine in mine.

Wow that's pretty cool!
Thanks a bunch Zynia!

i mean no tiles on the floor above

Ahh yeah I tried the raised living room, but needless to say I just entirely recustomized Decorating now, and thinking of something. *whistles*

Np Flutter, was just answering your question Glad you enjoyed it lol.

When I am feeling better I am going to try it for a display area.
Might have to play with it a little to maybe get some way to just show off certain items...
If I can lock stuff down and raise them up over the gaza mats that is... or place on top...
Eh... have to play with it some time.
Gosh I hope I am up to it next week!

Flutter hun, there's quite a few examples of displaying using the new option, as well as a few even I thought were exceptional. It's on stratics, here's the link, posted by Sarsmi. There's many pictures in the thread but it's about, almost halfway down the page for display cases. Some amazing pictures in here hehe.

And I hope you're feeling better too!
