Bug with TLC objects when using platforms in TLC apartments...

So apparently if you raise or lower the floors in the TLC apartments, it will mess up the mouse holes, the grates, bugs, and other features that come with the apartment. I learned this the hard way by rebuilding the apartment with platforms, then after playing for a while, the rats and bugs started appearing, but because it was underneath the platform, my Sim couldn't get to it. No problem, just lower the platform in build mode, take care of the problem, and raise the platforms back up, right?

Unfortunately after you've raised the platforms, lowering them again simply pushes the object (mouse hole, grate, bugs, etc) further down so they're on the floor below. I can see the rats glitching through the wall in the apartment below my Sim's TLC apartment. And my Sim is stuck reacting to all the negative affects.

Tried bulldozing the apartment, the objects were still pushed down. Restored all the rooms from the default apartment, same thing. I was able to click on the rat, tried Obliterate. Sim just gave a no-path response. Called the landlord out. He proceeded to be stuck in the room until he was starving, exhausted, and smelly.

I did use T.O.O.L and Better Build Buy mods with the "moveobjectson" cheat checked. I tested on a brand new save with those mods turned off, and got the same result. 

Just a heads-up because I don't see any other discussions on this.

  • Update:

    I downloaded Unlocked Apartment Traits and Objects mod by LunarBritney which lets you edit locked lot traits and objects, I bulldozed the entire lot (which removed all the TLC objects) and rebuilt the apartment from scratch. I highly recommend getting this mod before you build on any TLC apartment so you can move the TLC objects around before you mess with the walls and floors.
