[NEEDS SAVES] Issue with placing stairs in a basement when raising foundation

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.63.136.1010
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? I own and have all of the pack,stuff and expansions for the game.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Build a room big enough for stairs to be placed. Once done, build a basement below that and then raise the foundation up. I tend to raise it up to 4 just for a ref. Once done build stairs so they go from the basement to the main floor. With that done. You can easily use the fence tool to cross it over the stair top on the main floor to delete the space behind the stairs. I do this all the time in second floor to the first floor to look over the first floor. It works on the 3rd and 4th floor. It also has in the past worked on the basement to mainfloor. Once you delete behind the fencing 'floor' so you can overlook the basement it causes the issue.
What happens when the bug occurs? The ground raises to meet the foundation height on the outside and on the inside where you had deleted the 'flooring' from behind the fencing to make it look like a balcony overlay. It used to work 100% fine till the small patch update before the Eco update.
What do you expect to see? The floor where the ground shows on the inside of the building should vanish so you can see the basement. So it is like a balcony overlay. Along with the ground not leveling up to how high the foundation is.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

So I have played the game for years and I've never used mods/CC and I still don't want to ever use mods. I've noticed after the short small update before Eco got released that is when this surfaced for having a basement. It needs to be fixed immediately.

I have repaired my game 5 times, checked for updates around 10 times though I know that wasn't needed. I have checked it on multiple game saved files. Multiple 'worlds' along with tons of lots. I have made a video to show what it does.

I made a youtube video to show exactly what it does EVERY time. I've tried basically every stair formation along with other loaded game files. Still the same issue.
