floating water across lot

Hello, I added a house to a 64x64 lot. it is perfect other than the floating water or green stuff floating. I cannot remove it in build mode, and my sims cannot walk through it. unless it is on the same level. It makes my workout room look ghastly. I've done a search on this, and they suggested moving the lot to a new lot. The house was placed backwards on the first lot, and the green stuff was in the front. I moved the house to a new lot, and the house is placed properly, but now the green stuff is in the back. If I delete and level the house and lot, only the green stuff stays. If I rotate the lot, it goes away, but when I lay the house again, it comes back. I can't rotate the house on the lot, for it takes up the whole lot. I am sure it can be removed someway but i just cant figure it out. Here are a couple pics of the problem.  https://gyazo.com/b6fc2cfd309001f50d9605ec786e3a5a

    Yes. the house is a download. If I place it using the vanilla testing, the green stuff is still there, which makes me think it may be with the house itself, but then I don't understand why it would still be there when you level/delete the house. seems like it should be an easy fix. I don't understand why the game would put that in there.

    GIBBANATOR​ I'm going to move you over to Gameplay Issues. If you can post what the Gallery lot was, someone can maybe test it for you.

    GIBBANATOR​  From what I can see in your pic, the green patch sort of looks like an artifact of a deleted pool that had the stagnant texture (like the pool on the Windenburg Bluffs lot).  Based on what you said about moving the house to a new lot though, it also seems to be attached somehow to the house since it stayed with the house when you moved it to a new lot.  So, my 1st suggestion is to place a household on the lot then move them and keep the furniture.  If it works and gets rid of the green patch, you'll have to refurnish the house though.  My 2nd suggestion is to place a pool in the area where the green patch is and see if that does anything.  If it is a leftover pool water texture from a deleted pool, it might become accessible, and you can delete/change it, and it stops showing up after you delete the pool again.  Downside of this is having to tear down and rebuild part of the house.

    Hope this helps.

    sorry for the long delay in replying to you. I did place a household in the house than move them but it changed nothing. The house only fits north and south. if i rotate it south the pool is there but the green stuff hovers above it. I can duplecate it by putting the same stuff in the pool water but the floating green stuff never goes away. I totally gave up on this one. It was a downloaded house that only fits on a 64x64 lot and it was perfect in every way. I think its the mod. I ended up just using another house which was not as good but at least playable.
