Platforms are difficult!

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

thank you everyone for your help. The pic with the walls half down was so you can see how I did the platforms. I do like a sunken kitchen. and yes I was using ALT key to try and get that counter in. I started my couple again, so going to do some things different. Happy simming everyone. Oh yes I've had the wall paper leakage a very long time.
I've built a few other houses with platforms, and I found the yellow line on them. Thank you.

I build in Manage World view where it is always sunny summer.

FYI: if you use the wall tool to make a room the up/down arrows for platforms are there. Use those to raise or lower the room then remove the walls - you get platform ?.

Has anyone tried to knit something after adding a platform inside? I have a platform for the bedroom and in the living room area I told my sim to knit something and she can't. She has both the basket and bag in her inventory.

@DragonAge_300905
Yes, I created a sunken living room using the platform tool and my knitter can knit in there. She has to be sitting down first. Sorry you’re having trouble.

My sims often get pathing errors for knitting in a normal build (or at least they did before the patch) - they're very picky about where to knit. Have you tried to first manually sit on the place (whether it's couch, bed, whatever) and only then selecting to knit?

@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'm really enjoying the platform feature. Best use so far is making bunk beds!
