In Bridgeport is this lovely custom apartment I built. However, because Sims 3 permits only five floors, I decided to elevate using CFE (I know, shouldn’t have).
Now the building is a livid mess It had a foundation and a basement to which I can’t connect stairs. Worse, almost all the objects are “in rubble.”
I’d really love some help without rebuilding. Here are some pics.
blindude I think that's part of the point of the high-rise shells. I'm actually not sure whether there are any restrictions to placing them, as in, whether they'd work on a lot with CFE-related work or a basement or anything else. But you can make at least some changes after the fact. And if you get a message about not being able to, use the restrictbuildbuyinbuildings off cheat (after testingcheatsenabled true).
Of course, that doesn't preserve your existing work, but it's at least a consideration for the future.
I will consider it. It’s got a basement that is now exposed and I was really trying to make the building look like a high-rise. Like it’s got 16 stories instead of five.
blindude Sorry for the late reply. CFE can be a huge problem to deal with when something goes wrong. On the rare occasion I use it, I always save immediately before and back out if I see anything weird. I know that doesn't help you now, but for future reference, consider it highly experimental and liable to come back to bite you with no warning.
For now, try saving the lot to the in-game library and placing it elsewhere. This can clear up certain issues related to the instance of the lot in a particular save, rather than the lot itself.
