Platforms are difficult!

I'm having trouble with bowling since the patch has anyone else had a problem with them not finishing the game and just standing there? I don't use cc or mods I never have so I know that's not the issue.

If I make a room with platforms, i can't upload it as a room? :( :(

You might have to knock all the walls down and re-draw them, if you just redrew a few at a time when you placed your platforms, because initially placing a platform creates its own defined "room" area

I deleted and redrew them, but not working, i got 1 platforms this way (in same level)... but... thank you in any case ♥

@Jazmi1396 Make sure you are using the up and down arrow on the wall tool to make the platform. using the arrows you have showing in your picture in the middle will just raise and lower the foundation which does not create a platform. There are up and down arrows in the same box that shows up to let you choose the wall height. Those are what you need for the platforms to work.

@babajayne and @TomasGrizzly My sim has level 10 knitting skill and she had both the bag and basket in her inventory. She lived in Newcrest and I had her travel to a empty lot in Oasis, she couldn't knit at home or on the empty lot.

I downloaded a sim from my gallery that had zero knitting skill but level 10 in several other skills. I took the knitting bag from her inventory and made the downloaded sim pick it up. I told him to knit and he went to a bench sat down and started knitting. My sim that had level 10 knitting skill couldn't knit sitting next to him with the basket in her inventory.

The sim that couldn't knit anything has level 10 in the same skills as my sim that could knit, she was my builder sim with several aspirations done but not the knitting aspiration. I was going to do the knitting aspiration to give her more reward points since I play with whims off and the only way my sims gain reward points is through aspirations. The only difference between the sims was gender, level 10 in knitting skill on the female sim, and level zero knitting skill on the male sim.

I play with aging off in my games and save my builder sims in my library, starting new games with them and getting their skills to level 10, getting build items unlocked so I don't have to use cheats to put locked build stuff on my lots.

What I learned is don't get the knitting skill unless I'm doing the aspiration and make sure to unlock all outfits with the sim. I'll have to upload all knit items to my library so I don't have to rely on the sim being able to knit them when their skill reaches level 10. I think I'll do the same with the fabrecation, candle making, wood bench, etc. so my library will be very full of items that skill leveling sims can make but could be locked out of when their skill reaches level 10.

I like that sunken floor.

Imgur works well for images, I just copy/paste the BBCode in messages here.

Thank you! I had only one problem with platforms: uploading these rooms to a gallery as a room, but maybe it resolved. ;)

I've now made 3 builds with platforms & have learned to be very careful clicking the up & down arrows in the platform tool. Also, to have a divided platform it works if you make one section of your house a room then use the platform tool & you can delete the inside wall to make it more open. For example, the kitchen & livingroom.
