Wall patterns applying to both sides of exterior wall

Hi, I'm new to the sims and need some help. I am trying to apply wall patterns to seperate sides of exterior walls but when I apply the wall pattern to one side it changes both, can someone tell me how to fix this? I've attached some pictures so you can see what I mean.

    @AlexHorton95  This ususlly happens for me when the  'room' of the house is not fully closed/enclosed. Try using the 'room' tool in Build/Buy mode and draw the room once again. Also look at your build from every corner, for any irregularity.

    If you want you can also upload the build, and I, and perhaps others, can take a look

    @AlexHorton95 you can also hold the alt key while applying the wall pattern and then it will just do that side and part of the wall you've selected.

    @AlexHorton95 I agree with @DonroaAkashu , Try re-drawing the walls of the room having the problem. You may lose the wallpaper/paint but it sounds like it's not fully enclosed. This can happen on some of the more... non-standard... room designs.

    If you want to see if it's just that room or a bug in your game, try drawing a new room in the back yard or somewhere. Make it a normal square and see if the wall patterns work properly there. If it works in the new room but not the old one, then you'll have to recreate the room or figure out where the walls aren't properly joined.
