Re: [FIXED] Roofs can't be placed in enclosed rooms

I'm having the same issue! I can no longer build higher than the first level. No rooms, no roofs.... nothing can be built that's above the main level. The grid is there to build on but it won't let me place a roof or second floor walls. First I tried repairing my game, didn't work. Then I removed all my game saves and tried to start fresh... still had the problem. So I did what I didn't want to do (which was uninstall and reinstall) and IT STILL WON'T LET ME BUILD!!! I'm so completely frustrated. I have spent so much money on this game and the best part of the game for me is building and designing the house. Please, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!! fix this issue.

    Could you send this started home to the Gallery? Name it Test7 and give me your nickname on Origin. I will test it.
  • Yes of course. I uploaded it and named it test7. My origin name is Pinxkitty89. Also I have attached a screen shot of the issue.

    EDIT: It seems to occur mostly in the neighborhood located at the top of Newcrest. It happens other places occasionally but always with these lots.

    EDIT: EDIT: I have found that if I rotate the camera at a certain angle I can actually place it without a problem. Thats more than it was doing before so maybe they are already working on fixing it?? uggghhh I sure hope so.

    I can reproduce, it's the TS3 camera. When you pan the camera to view at the wall almost it pops up when you place the roof.

    Moving the camera fixes it though. The lot or build doesn't matter.

    I can also reproduce, exactly as @Phantomlover1717 has stated, it's the angle of the Sims 3 camera.

    It's entirely preventable by using the Sims 4 camera or simply changing the camera angle with the Sims 3 camera.

    Switching to Sims 4 camera as suggested in this thread didn't help you ?

    I'm getting some clarification on this before adding.  You can encounter similar errors using the TS4 camera as well, if you use CTRL+ to change the camera angle such that it is facing below ceiling level.  I would tend to see this as expected behavior, since the behavior allows you to place objects at a lower level than the level your camera is on, based on the angle.  If this behavior was changed, you would need to drop down a level to place objects on a lower level, which could be quite inconvenient (think working on an outdoor space).

    @BryonyRae 
    Personally I think the hight of where this error shows is too high still. But the main issue is, it shows the roof on top of the room, not inside of it. 

    On this angle you can place the roof on the edge but not in the middle on top of the room. 

    I'm impressed you got your camera to that point with the TS4 camera, I can't seem to even get close.
