There are a few possible reasons, so it's hard to answer definitively without knowing the particulars of your house. For instance, you don't mention whether you have air conditioning and, if so, what type. Having said that, the most likely cause for a wide temperature range between the two levels is bad insulation. If your house is a Cape Cod-style dwelling or a split-level where the second floor has little or no attic above it, it may be chronically hot in summer (and cold in winter) because the living area is directly below the sun-drenched roof. If there is an attic above it, it may be poorly insulated or ventilated, or both. Make sure you have plenty of insulation placed on the attic floor, and ensure there are adequate fans and vents to keep the attic temps down to reasonable levels. There should be at least one exhaust fan and two vents, one on each side of the house, or in the soffits. Keeping the attic from overheating will not only make the second deck more comfortable, it will prolong the life of the roof. The insulation in the attic will also help keep the second floor warm in winter.

Why is it warmer on the top floor in your house?
Heat rises, so on the top floor of a house, warm air from lower levels accumulates, making it warmer. Additionally, heat from the roof can radiate down into the top floor, further contributing to the higher temperature.

It is colder at the top of a refrigerator because cold air sinks, causing the lower portion to be slightly warmer.
Are top floor apartments typically hotter than lower floor apartments?

Why does the person in the top floor will get less amount of water than the person in the ground floor when their taps are opened at the same time?
The person on the top floor will receive less water because they are against the force of gravity, which creates less pressure in the pipes. As water is pulled downwards, the pressure decreases with height. This results in a lower flow rate for the person on the top floor compared to the person on the ground floor.
Why would the top floor of a home usually be warmer than the lowest floor of the home?
The top floor of a home is often warmer than the lowest floor because heat rises. As heat rises, it accumulates on the upper levels, making them warmer. In addition, the sun's rays may hit the top floor more directly, contributing to the higher temperature.

Should you build a basement or a second floor?
Normally when a basement is poured, there are no provisions for putting a roof on top of it. Structurally, it isn't a problem to build a basement larger than the main floor. But if you don't build on top of it, you have a major issue to deal with. You will need to determine how you will keep ground water, critters, dirt, etc from entering the basement from the uncovered side and coming into your home. If you properly seal the top of the uncovered side of the basement, I don't think you will have any problems.
Why do people choose to place their heat on the floor and their air conditioner on the top of their houses?
Because heat rises, and conversely, cold falls. Heat on the floor will rise and warm the whole house, not just the upper level. Air conditioning will fall and cool the whole house, not just the basement.

How do you make an upstairs on the sims 3?
Go to Build Mode, then find the little icons with house images on them. There will be two of these buttons, one on top of the other. The top one will lead you to the floor above and the bottom one will lead you back down to the main floor or to the basement if you have one. Anyway, click on the top house image and it will bring you to the top floor. First, get rid of the roof for the moment so you can place things upstairs, then build rooms and walls upstairs and add flooring and wallpaper. Then, you can rebuild the roof and you will have an upstairs. Hope that helped. :/
