Re: building questions with pools - sims 4

@kingpeterking The pool diving platforms are pretty specific about the type of clearance they need both on the surface in the pool for proper placement and use. I have re-created the area in my game and even tried extending the deck in both directions. I even tried making the pool deeper by increasing its wall height. It gave the error "Object is intersecting the floor or the ceiling" when trying to place the "Jump And Splash 8000" diving platform.

It turns out after all of my testing and another helper as well we found something I overlooked checking on... I think that if you go to your build and go to the next floor up (to the 2nd floor) you will see that your 'deck'/platform area that you are trying to add the "Jump And Splash 8000" diving platform to has still got a ceiling above it. If it does, please use the sledgehammer tool and delete that ceiling, and your "Jump And Splash 8000" diving platform will place properly.

Edit.... per the comment(s) below. (Thank you, @Sashas0nic :eahigh_file:!) I have decided to re-add the workaround ideas I had posted at first (before I discovered the ceiling above in my re-creation.) If deleting the ceiling does not work for you in your game, you could try these alternative options:

Workarounds:
I was able to add the "Jump And Splash 8000" diving platform very easily in pool that has no foundation (see screenshot).

 
I did find that if I added the "Jump And Splash 8000" diving platform with moo activated it was placeable in the area the way you wanted. My test was also able to properly use the platform also (sorry it's at night for them).

To use the Move Objects On (MOO) cheat: 


With your lot open in build mode, press Shift+Control+C to open the cheat console box (upper left of your screen)

Enter the following in the cheat code box (all three in this order and press enter after each one):

    @kingpeterking I have updated with my findings.... please see the post above. I will check with other helpers and let you know if this is a bug, a function intentionally not allowed, or if they know of another way to make it place properly. If I find out additional information I will let you know.

    @kingpeterking Sorry for any confusion but we did further testing. Please re-check the posting that I made with the instructions, and let us know if this was the issue. thank you!

    @kingpeterking I'm so happy it worked! That's what we're here for!

    Just out of curiosity, was there a ceiling on the area? Anyway, thank you @Sashas0nic for your input - particularly since that ended up being the method chosen!

    @kingpeterking Thank you for letting us know. Then it is excellent that @Sashas0nic brought that up or it would have taken more posts to get there. Thank you both and enjoy your home!! 🙂
