Re: Second Floor Flooring Turned Invisible

You could try building a ceiling on the downstairs room:

Select the downstairs room

Click the "next level up" button in the top right corner of the screen

Click the yellow highlight around the top of the selected room

"Build ceiling" should come up.

If it says "Remove ceiling," then click that and then "Build ceiling" should be available.

Sometimes the game gets confused with rooms of different sizes and shapes upstairs and downstairs from each other and a ceiling has to be rebuilt.

    @mightyspritesims I was hopeful since I didn't know that this was a thing, but unfortunately, it didn't work. I added and removed the ceiling multiple times, but the second-floor flooring is still invisible.

    @leanimrod Have you tried placing fencing around sections of the invisible floor? This has been happening to me (on Xbox Series X) a few times and I can't explain it. But if I fence off pieces of it it comes back as flooring. I then delete the fencing. For some reason, fencing works better than walls. I just put the walls back later. I've had all kinds of gaps in upstairs rooms and balconies, but manage to fix it that way. You can stretch the fencing into a room shape or just do small sections and it should fill in with floor tiles.
    Hope this helps, good luck.

    @simsplayer818 Thanks for the suggestion. I just gave it a try, but it did not work, the floor is still invisible. I think I might just have to demolish my progress and start over because I think the lot itself-- StrangerVille Overlook-- is broken/glitched.
  • @leanimrod I haven't fixed it, but I have figured out why it happened! I re-downloaded the original build from the gallery, then I got done fixing the structure to how I wanted it to look, and I then used the "Move House - Reposition your house" tool in the bar at the top of the screen, and apparently moving the lot in any sort of way is what makes the second floor invisible. I also noticed that there is also a weird, corner curving railing sticking out of the ground that I can't delete or interact with whatsoever. I have a feeling that whatever glitch is happening here might have something to do with that.

    I have attached a screenshot of the glitched railing in question.
