Experiment · EXP001
Two-Click Foundations
Can a two-click foundation be created and extended entirely inside the unmodified The Sims 2 build engine, without LotAdjuster?
Status: ongoing · public documentation: draft · final conclusion: not yet recorded
Why it matters
Shallow foundation techniques affect how accurately dense, uneven or split-level architecture can be reconstructed. The experiment is intended to distinguish a repeatable in-game method from memory, assumption or an undocumented one-off result.
Evidence discipline
Public platform copies are useful for access and review, but are not automatically treated as preservation masters. Raw source material, edit decisions and exact file mapping must remain distinguishable.
Current record
EXP001 remains open. Its procedure, observations and final conclusion still need to be reconciled into a reproducible record; no conclusion should be inferred from this draft page.
Media scope
The early built-in-recorder tests were reclassified as EXP000. They test a capture method, not the two-click-foundation hypothesis, and are not presented as evidence for EXP001.
Canonical record
The live experiment record, procedure, observations, limitations and eventual conclusion belong in the ANHQV-TS2 repository.
