Interior decorator career problems

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I'm having real problems with any interior decorator career gig that involves an addition - the game won't let me add walls that are attached to any current walls, but I HAVE to add a room to fulfil the gig demands. Which means that all of my clients now have a very inconvenient basement as their 'addition', even when they asked for a bedroom closet...

Is there something I'm missing?

Edit: I've been experimenting, it keeps saying 'you cannot add walls to an existing structure, add them to a new room off an existing structure'. It will let me add a wall off a current wall, however as soon as I try and turn it into a room, it goes red and that error message comes up. Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong in the world of what is considered an 'addition'? It also won't let me change anything about the current structure including new stairs, doors etc.

  • I know that used to be a bug, but I thought that was fixed in a recent patch. I looked through the old Laundry Lists and the only thing I saw was that "Level Additions" were supposed to be fixed. Is that what your gig is for?
  • No not a level addition, a room addition. I did some trawling through the EA help section and there's a thread on this issue that says it's been fixed in a patch but uh... nope clearly not lol.
  • I am wondering if you can make a room that isn’t attached and then pull the side by the other wall you are adding it to, to the original wall.
  • I'll try that but usually the error appears whenever I try and 'close' a room onto the original structure, no matter how I'm trying to connect the walls. I did manage to successfully build one actual room addition on a house that only had the very minimum foundation, so I'm wondering if it's an issue with builds that have foundations (which unfortunately is most of them).
