Default basement pool
Trying to build an "alien" lot, I want to make a pool & garden area as a basement. I've built plenty of basements, with walk outs, etc, but never tried to make an extra DEEP one. Suggestions? Would have to use lots of lights..
And this too: door/ windows/ bunk beds for "aliens". Seriously, I can't find!

Stand up, speak out. Just not to me..

You can make an extra deep basement - the basement is just one level, though, regardless of depth.

For the buildmode and beds, you probably need to give more detail on what kind of thing you are looking for.

"Basement is just one level..regardless of depth" what? So I could make it like TWO stories deep, so they have a nice alien garden with a pool. Normally basements are the same heights as a wall (?# clicks). As for "alien" I found one door that slides to one side, in metal colors - but that's ALL. Windows should look like port holes - maybe I could just use one of the very small "privacy" windows. Pod "beds" I found one - but only the bottom was useable. And they should not have ladders, frames, etc.

Would the cityof2morrow futuristic sets work for your aliens? Have a look at the Space-O-Rama build set which has some space doors and things, and the Glass Repo Set in case you want to build glass tunnels and habitats.

I have some very plain platform beds that match BB Niches which would go well with the cityof2morrow niche repo sets for an alien bedroom.

Dear Sir/Madame (I never know..or care for that matter): Many praises, although I was unable to find the "links at the bottom", and the first of the three links won't load. But I am happy to get the windows!

Is it maybe the links in the third of the spoilers, Grammapat? If you didn't see those you might want to take a look, because there's so much good stuff in there. I can't believe I'd forgoten about the llama lamp!! I LOVE that one.

The 3rd link is the windows with glass, where I also found those round windows with embossing (looks like metal mesh).

If I recall correctly, you can dig deeper than a single wall height (16 clicks), and the basement 'wall' should continue all the way down. You should be able to make platforms at different levels, I think.
