With regards to split level houses and multi height foundations there is zero reason why they would not function in the game. Yet im unable to place half walls connecting to my deck so that i can have a blocked off garden. I know we can use fences but the point is we should not have to. With each subsequent release our build tools should improve. Why can we not yet do these simple things? What im asking for is not game breaking and despite my head scratching cannot fathom a single reason why this cannot work. Considering with all DLC this game is over half a thousand dollars in canadian currency (let that sink in) what im asking for is nil

I'm simply trying to make a little pool next to the house wall on the foundation getting conflict block cluster error and it's not even conflicting with anything it should work ..

If it means anything, I've sometimes had to sort of "fake it" with creating fencing and foundation at odd angles to make it work. If it doesn't work the most straightforward way, I sometimes have had to knock out the wall temporarily, place the foundation as I wanted, then recreate the wall over it.
It's a workaround more than anything, but sometimes it can get around the painfully stupid issues that the tools end up putting in front of us.

I know how frustrated you are, like one time I didn't know if I should delete the game, or if I should have just cried. Okay but anyway, its a really easy fix. all you have to do is redo the foundation. Some items may go to your inventory but just redo the foundation. OH VERY IMPORTANT: make sure you redo the foundation all the way from the first floor. Otherwise, you may still have the same problem. okay yea then build your wall that was struggling and hopefully it'll work this time 🙂) good luck

I am trying to build two small houses on one lot - all I want to do is add a bathroom upstairs in the house on the right (see uploaded pic). It will not let me place a wall anywhere on that house level. It says 'can't connect blocks from different levels' but:
a) the houses are the same foundation level
b) I am not trying to connect them
Anyone able to help?

@elliebreton Can you share your home to the gallery? Give it a name (like '"Block Cluster Problem") and let me know if you have a the same User ID/name there as you do here. Or you can include a link to it in the browser here. This way I could download it and test in my game. Thank you!

If I'm understanding your frustration correctly, I'm assuming you're frustrated that the 'block clusters' (sections of walling) cannot connect if they have a different foundation height. This is by design for reasons beyond my understanding, if I interpreted the video narrators correctly when they brought out this feature (separately adjustable wall/building foundations).
Can you please confirm for us if this is the issue that you're referring to? If not, please clarify so I can address your concerns correctly. Thank you!
Though it will not solve your frustration over not being able to join the 'block clusters' in the way you want, I've made you a video that may be helpful in demonstrating a few workarounds that you may or may not be aware of. I hope it helps. Thanks!
