Help please (building The Sims 3)

Hello

I am trying to remodel a house that came in Bridgeport in The Sims 3, to add a room or two. My surprise comes when I try to build the bedroom wall and it won't let me because it says verbatim that it is covered by tile. So I say "well, I can not make new walls, I will use the existing one to expand and then segment the resulting space". Well then it turns out that neither because it does not let me move walls with "non-right angles", as I say. So I try to remove the angled wall and turn it into a common one with 90º angle. But I can't because once again, those "ghost tiles" make an appearance again. It would be great if someone could explain to me what is going on and how I can fix this. I leave a video of a part of my "operation" (sorry, I have the game in Spanish, but well, in case someone understands it or it comes to you just by watching it).

Thank you very much in advance. -SenadorX

    @SenadorX I have tried to recreate your problem in my game, using the same house, and I have been able to expand the house in the corner that you have shown in your video, by drawing a new foundation and a wall on top of it. Due to the limitations of the game, you cannot use the 'drag' arrow to expand diagonal walls or walls connected to diagonal ones; that tool seems to work best with square, box shapes. Any new walls or rooms will need to be drawn manually.

    In order to draw a wall in the place you have shown, you will first need to add a foundation. Go to Build Mode > Platforms, Foundations & Decks and select the Foundation tool. In order for the foundation to be connected to the house, you need to start drawing it from an existing foundation (one of the corners is a good place to start) so it ends up the same height. Then you can turn it into the shape you like and draw walls on top of it.
