Adding walls removes objects

PLEASE HELP THIS IS PISSING ME OFF

every time I try to add a wall for a room it completely changes the platforms even though I don’t have any platforms on the house and it deletes objects. The wall isn’t there but it casts a shadow as if it were

  • @Libbiexox Do you have any Mods or CC? If so, please move your Mods folder from your "The Sims 4" folder [Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4] to your desktop (save it for reference) and delete the localthumbcache.package file in your “The Sims 4” folder. Then check in a new game save to see if this issue is still occurring. If the issue is gone, please re-add the Mods/CC one at a time until you find the one causing the issue. If you have a lot of Mods/CC you can try the 50/50 Method.

    Edit: Dose this post seem like your issue? https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Feedback/Building-walls-raises-platforms/td-p/9887168 I would be happy to test your lot in my game if you want to upload it. Also, if you could perhaps include a screenshot(s) of the issue that would be super helpful. Does this happen only on one lot or on all lots? If you save this lot to the library and begin a new game save and add this lot is the issue there then?

  • @Libbiexox are you working on a new build on a empty lot, or did it have a structure you bulldozed down that had a platform in it?

    I think you're posting about several issues, going to try and break it down:

    I don't understand how a platform can change but you don't actually have a platform in the house? Do you have a screenshot?

    Could the shadow be a piece of wall of ceiling on a higher floor?

    The objects being deleted, does this happen with MOO enabled? Or disabled? Does it happen when you close the room, paint the wall or place flooring? There is a bug report here for something similar https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-SAVES-Stuff-deleted-when-painting-walls-half-walls/td-p/8673542

    @zoiee2020's question is really helpful. There is currently an issue with the game thinking that a platform is still on the lot even after it has been bulldozed. This causes objects and building tools to not work properly. Exiting to the map screen sometimes helps, as does bulldozing the whole lot then quitting and reloading the game.
