Help! How to delete single floor tile?

I came here for the exact same thing

@YamineHears Yes, you are correct. Though it is a pain, making walls aroung the tile(s) that you want to delete, and then removing them, is the only way that I know of to do this. Maybe fences will work instead of walls, but I haven't tried that, yet. If anyone else knows of another way, please post!

Thank you!!

Found it! Use the sledgehammer tool and it will delete individual tiles (and refund cost of tile).

Thankyou for posting information about how to delete single tiles. It will be helpful. :)

The Sledge Hammer tool will delete the tiles within a room. You cannot delete individual tiles within a room of two or more tiles, it has to be walled off by itself.

My tile just keep coming back when I delete the walls

I had that problem tonight. Was redecorating the Goths back yard and wanted the tiles gone. Solved it by using the sledgehammer tool and just pulling it as a far as the floor tiles go. I also thought I'd have to smash them one by one but you don't.

I have found that if you build a room around your stairs ( where you want to build railing) then delete the floor. Then replace the wall with your desired fence ( don't delete the wall. Build straight over it with your fence). I then deleted the area of fence where my Sims come on to my landing and the floor tiles remained deleted.
Hope it helps

Really disappointed... worked hard on a colonial mansion with a grand staircase... my options are a - leave an awkward amount of flooring around the stairs that serve no purpose and ruin the entire look of the staircase.... or b - attempt all of these options to achieve desired "open to below" effect but end up with my roof appearing on the inside. Big step backward from Sims 3 over something so simple...

(Also, has anyone noticed that things beneath/behind Spandrels don't render properly when you're on a different floor? I assume the game thinks the objects aren't visible and to save memory, doesn't display them... BUT I CAN SEE IT :disappointed: )

Trying really hard to appreciate the countless hours the EA staff have undoubtedly put into this release but finding it difficult to enjoy the game when we're all running across these lost features. I realise a lot of these things are seemingly minor... but when you add them all up...
