Grid-Adjusting for a Slope: Tutorial
You will need Moo's Grid-Adjuster
and possibly her Lot-Adjuster
my Completely Invisible Floor tile
and Numenor's Unlevel Wall #90
The last 3 are optional - the Grid-Adjuster is a must!

The floor plan comes from this book: One-Story Homes, published by HomePlanners, Inc in 1991. An on-line archive of the plan is HERE.
This house was built as part of my Tutorial: Adding a Garage to Lowered Foundations with the Grid-Adjuster

Have you ever tried to build a swimmable lake - and stressed about hiding the floor edges?
Or built a nice CFE'd roof - only to find it's not weatherproof?

AND I SUGGEST READING
Moo's own G-A Tutorial
My other Grid-Adjuster Tutorials...
This tutorial assumes you are already familiar with TS2 building techniques and the Grid-Adjuster (somewhat familiar, anyway!)
Instructions:
The house built for this tutorial has specifically a 2-click/2-step foundation. BUT, the same technique can be used for regular 4-click foundations, or any height you need. Just modify the Grid-Adjuster settings accordingly.

~ Classic Split-level ~
If you follow my tutorial exactly (Building Basic Split-level Houses,) THIS is the house you will have built. If you'd rather not bother building it yourself - download this one!
It is a very basic house - with 1 included CC, and 2 other required CC items.

My Maxis Makeover #66 ~ Bin House: Bonny Bungalow
(Check out the other 65 remodels in my MTS profile) 😁

Well - this is how to keep that perfect made-over lot, so the next time you have to restart your hood, it is already there, ready and waiting, for your sims to come play.

Change Max Slope Value
Do you want to place lots where you want them? Regardless of a steep slope? Then this trick is for you!
- When you place one of the game's empty lots down in your hood - this mod allows lot placement without changing the terrain. Empty lots will no longer automagically flatten; you will be able to build according to the lay of the land.
You can build off the side of a cliff with this mod!
- When placing lots from the LotBin (pre-built lots) - you can place them on slopes, and uneven terrain without issue. This will not change the terrain inside the lot; it will conform the terrain around the lot to match.
You can populate the "ridge" in Belladonna Cove with houses now!
I've had a few people ask about building "into hills" or on "uneven terrain" - so I thought I'd do up a quick pictorial. This can all be done with straight CFE, but I like using the Grid-Adjuster.
The 10 pictures below will show you how I do it...

Mootilda's Grid-Adjuster Tool 
...obviously!
I was asked a while long, long, time ago to write up a tutorial about how I go about building split-level houses...
Then, a year later, another person gently reminded me that the first person had asked... so... I finally did it.
Sometimes it takes me a while. I'm sorry it took this long! I hope this information is still useful?
