Unable to replace grass with stone

Working in build mode on the Oakstead mansion. I removed the trees in the backyard and installed a pool. No problems so far. I decide to surround the pool with the same bricks used for the walkway which is already there. No problem. Until I try to join the bricks to the walkway. Whenever I click on the grass strip between the two, it will put a square of bricks there, but it takes away a square of bricks from those surrounding the pool. and vice versa. It will not connect them. I have doubled checked the eyedropper to make sure it was not in copy mode, and I still cannot connect them. I have tried exiting the game and coming back in. I have tried putting hedges there. That works for hedges, but when I remove them and try to put bricks there it does the same thing. I find it hard to believe a game that has been out for 4 years still has bugs/glitches. I still cannot put a water slide "room" on this property as it still wants to put it in the basement, or above ground. Never even with the ground. And yes, I can buy each water slide room item and place them individually, but that defeats the purpose of having a room doesn't it. I bought and placed the water slide, but it would be nice to have the whole room placed correctly in the back yard.

    @Nimbindi I'm not sure what would relieve the odd behavior you're having issues with, but something you could try is to remove the path and use a spray path instead. Or you could try using the pool trims for around the pool instead of the floor tiles and see if the tiles would go up to the edge of the pool trim then correctly? (Btw... nice looking build!)

    @Nimbindi, I'm so happy that @SheriGR found a solution for you! :eahigh_file: ❤️  That is why I love posting pictures (if possible) of problems because pictures really are worth a 1000 words!  I see now what you mean about the different tiles not meeting up correctly! 🤨 

    Also I think your house is Oakenstead in Willow Creek -- you stated in your original post that that was its name, and it also looks like Oakenstead! 😉  

    @SheriGR, thanks for thinking of the spray-terrain!  😇  

    Yes, time ceases to exist when playing the Sims -- I have even forgotten to eat while playing until I was sick with a headache and nauseous! 🤒😳😃  I was more concerned with feeding my pixelated imaginary people than I was myself! :eahigh_file:

    Also, your settings for turning aging off, or playing with a long, average, or short life-span, etc. should just be per each individual Save Game.  (I would imagine if you have multiple families that you play in the same save game and wanted one family to have a long life span and another family to have a short one, that this wouldn't work unless you separated them into 2 different save games. 🤔 )  But for different save games you should be able to have different gameplay settings. 😉

    @PugLove888 Thanks for confirming on the aging thing. I wish I could not say that I can say that I have not neglected eating, sleeping or needs for this crazy game, but that would not be honest. The fact that I nearly ran out of my Imitrex last month will attest to that fact. 😉  I struggle with germ-ODC, but on screen (and in work - which is also on screen) it seems to morph into being super driven and perfectionistic. A true case of something being a big strength and a big weakness at the same time. 🤔
