How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.68.156.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? all
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Create a pool on a raised ground created with the terrain tools.
What happens when the bug occurs? There is a platform edge around the pool, which prevents Sims from going in.
What do you expect to see? I want to be able to use the pools created on raised grounds, like before.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The platforms update.
So I realized that my Sims were not able to use their pool anymore. I noticed some kind of border and they had that bubble above their head that I think means they can't access it because of platforms. That's why I think it's because of unwanted platforms, that I can't delete. I tried. I can't even change the color of the border so that's definitely a glitch.
I tried to build a new pool on another lot, and it worked fine, then I raised the terrain, and again : platfrom border. See pictures.
I only use the MCCC and I removed it before testing on that new lot.
I was able to reproduce what you posted. I think you are right that something to do with the changes that gave us platforms probably is causing it too. So how we used to do this won't work anymore.
I was able to find a workaround though. If you build a raised foundation first and put the pool in the foundation, you can raise the pool to any height you want pretty much. Make the foundation one tile wider all the way around the pool (otherwise, you can't place floor tiles against the pool edge). Then raise the terrain around the foundation to be even with the top of the foundation. I found that using the flatten terrain tool with the arrow placed in the pool will level the terrain to the exact height of the pool. After doing that, my sim was able to swim and sit on the pool edge. And all the glitchiness around the pool edge also went away and I was able to change the edge trim with no problem and place pool ladders.
@bilgeytz What you did to get it to work does pretty much the same thing as building the room and placing the pool in it does the same thing as putting the pool in a foundation. So you can do it by raising the terrain first and then building room too. So we now have 2 ways to go about this. Thanks for that feedback!!
Hope this helps.
