Builders, help! Can't seem to delete exterior trim

the only thing i can suggest is delete the balcony and redo it :#

thats odd have you tried going out and back into the build? or try to replace the piece with a newer one?

Hrm.

I would say to go to the lower fence, use the one tool to make a wall. Take off the fence and wall it off. Then see if you can delete out the offending trim. half-wall and railings are just cut-away for the wall section, perhaps it is "stuck" on the non-existant wall from the lower floor.

Try repairing your game in Origin.

sounds like a glitch. save & quit and then reopen the build.
i know that's the equivalent of "have you tried turning it on and off?" lol, but it has worked for me when i've gotten these "phantom" stairs and gates that won't delete.

Thanks so much for the help guys! I ended up deciding to just ignore it for the time being, and when I went back to that side of the house the trim was suddenly brown! So I decided not to touch anything anymore hahaha. I think it was a glitch - I am now experiencing the same with fences that have suddenly disappeared and won't appear even if you try to place new ones on the same spot... am hoping that's a glitch too and the fence will reappear eventually. :sweat_smile:

This is what I managed to make of it. Still very much a work in progress, though. Haven't even started on the inside/upstairs, and am not liking the placement of those windows just yet. But if only those fences hadn't decided to disappear on me, I would've been pretty happy with the result already. :joy:

the house looks great! fences disappear like that when you hover a gate over the fence with bb.moveobjects on.. on. turn it off and place gates over the invisible fence spots and then delete them.

Gosh, thank you so much for the help! This is kind of my first time building a house, and I have to admit that I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. :sweat_smile:

Wow, makes my first time building a house look sad. I went the easy route and made a basic cubic design, but I'm quite proud of my little box house. :)

It looks fabulous, though. Since it is frustrating you, I would advise not to change anything for a time. Just continue playing your game, and when the mood strikes, go into build/buy mode and try to change the offending things. I often realize there's a 'mistake' in my build after I have Sims on the lot. I think I edited 'fixed' things three times during my game play just yesterday, in fact. Found a piece of foundation that was missing, twice, and a railing that wasn't there. Then, as it turns out the archway into the kitchen was curiously 'missing'. :o All fixed, now, until I stumble across something else. I guess I would have to say my builds are always a work in progress. LOL Don't let it defeat you.
