Re: Can't finish building second floor on Sims 4

@allana1975

I can't tell from the pic how many floors you have. I can tell that there's more than one though. There is a limit of 4 floors above ground. And the ceiling of the 4th floor is the floor of the roof. You should be able to get a stair up to the roof. The game does let you put walls up there, but you won't get a ceiling, so the space is open to the outside. Imo, that is just so you can put an ornamental fence like many historic homes have that use mansard roofs. What I think I see in your pic is that you've hit the upper limit and can't go any higher. So, how many floors are there on the building?

Hope this helps.

Attached below is the screenshot of my different levels of the building with the walls up. I think it's 2 floors above ground, not including roof.

Ok, thanks for the pic. You're not too high so that's not it.

So, try this. Use the Custom Wall Tool to redraw all the walls on the second floor. On the second floor, just start at one corner and trace over the walls from corner to corner until you are back to where you started. It'll wipe out any wall paint but that's easy to fix. After doing that, you should be able to place floor tile.

If you still can't do it at that point, then drop down a level and select a room, go back up a level and click on the yellow outline around the top of the room below. If it says build ceiling, then click on the message to build a ceiling. Do that for all the rooms below. Then try to place floor tile on the second floor. That should work and let you place the floor.

Hope this helps.

Thank you. It took some playing around with the wall tool, but I finally realized that the issue was I didn't have a light in the room so the flooring didn't show up correctly. Once I realized where I was able to add staircases to, I realized I had another level I wasn't aware of. Hopefully my sims people approve of the new room & furnishings!
