This depends of course on the individual house. If the house is fairly modern and built to the correct standards within the last say, 30 years then it will have at least 6'' by 2" ceilings joists and 3/4'' floor boards over them. The joists span over onto the adjacent walls and are spaced every 400mm. They are strong as you are likely to need them. When you see people and baths etc falling through ceilings on TV, this is just for entertainment value. Some very old houses may have used smaller sized joists but I've yet to see a ceilings struggle under weight nevermind collapse.

Is the attic the first floor or 2nd floor?

If you are talking about a house, the attic would be on the third floor as you have a ground floor (first floor), then a second floor (upstairs) and then a third floor (the attic), However if it was a bungalow, it would be on the second floor because bungalow's don't have an upstairs.

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. :/
