Are you sure it wasn't a two room redesign? I have had a couple living room AND kitchen redesigns. Those are not optional you must do both. When in Build mode read the description and limits carefully so you don't misunderstand what you are supposed to do. When you choose a gig there is a tooltip that tells you more about the gig.

@itslolagrace They shouldn't react to old things. They should detect what's new and react to that.

Could you you test a new save that didn't have mods ever just to see if you also get them to react to old furniture ?

Me again, can I complain here? Or should I open a new discussion?

I cannot add a new level, only thing I can do is add a room on the bottom floor. I should have known, budget is too low for a whole new level.

@paolaelectra For the level additions it's best to use the bug report. They seem the most problematic: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-DHD-Can-t-add-level-for-some-houses/m-p/10396313#M184825

You said you could add a new room on the ground. That means the gig did not ask for a complete new level. There are several types of gigs that mention level. Such as living room level add-on which just mean that you are allowed to move walls to have more space for in this case a living room. The tool tip of the gig when you mouse over gives more information on what is expected.
