Basement issue?
I have noticed that when I build a basement, and my basement-room is larger/go outside the house the ground is changing - it "comes up" and my ground is not flat anymore (above where I built my basem...

@jenn451 , I think I might know what is happening to you. I tried it in my game and at first didn't get what you described.
But then I raised the height of the basement using this little handle on the up/down arrows:
.
And I got what you described!
So try lowering your basement by clicking on the basement walls, and grab the little box/handle on the up & down arrows like I pointed to in the 3rd picture with red markings!
Please update us on if this works or not! 😇
@PugLove888 I experienced the same phenomenon as jenn451. This is a problem with the "Basement Tool" in "Walls & Empty Rooms".

I think this is probably because PugLove888 created an empty room directly in the basement.
However, I tried it and PugLove888's workaround worked.
I think this should be logged as a bug in the Basement Tool in the building mode, in my opinion.
Thank you for the workaround.

@Pick-a-boo_doo , thank you for your input! 😇 I'm glad you were able to use the suggestion to help with your problem! 🥳
I do have a question -- you stated that you thought the reason why I didn't get what @jenn451 described and what you were experiencing in my initial look into the issue was because I had "created an empty room directly in the basement.". Is there something I am missing about this situation that you did that caused the problem? 🤔
How else can I test what is going on, and see if I have the same problem? 🤷♀️😅 Did you mean something different?
I did look into a house that I know I have in another save file from years ago that has a basement larger than the house, and I did not see this problem either.I'm asking this because I'm trying to determine if this really might be a bug, or if it is just that the basement was accidentally raised. 🙂
Are you playing on a console or are you playing on a PC or Mac? If you are on a PC or Mac, are you using any Mods or Custom Content (CC)? 🤔- @PugLove888 Sorry for the delay and I should have indicated my playing environment at first.
Platform: PC(Win10) / Never used MOD/CC / All EP, GPs other than GP03,08,09,11, SP08,09,12,13,15,16,18, ILK / Current game version 1.88.228.1020 /
Language is now English from '22/05/19, but until then played in Japanese.
That happened in both of language version.
Then about why I thought "created an empty room directly in the basement".
That just simple. 'Cause that's how I usually build my basement. But one day I happened to use the "Basement Tool" in the "Wall & Empty Room" to create a basement, and I get this issue.(In Japanese version)
I saw this post and experienced the same phenomenon myself, so I checked the issue apperes in English version just to make sure it worked and to see if PugLove888's workaround works.
PugLove888, once you make an empty room on the first floor (a 4x4 is sufficient) try to create a basement using the Basement Tool in the manner of overwriting the walls of the first floor room. It will always raise the land around the room.@Pick-a-boo_doo , thanks for replying and answering my questions! 😊
I also am using a PC (I thought perhaps the problem was that you and/or @jenn451 might be console users and that this might be a bug with the console version, but this is obviously not the case!)
I also do not use Mods or CC.I am also playing that version of the game.
However, I was not using the "Basement Tool". I kind of remember using it when we first got basements added to the game, but then just used the Wall Tool in the basement areas. Thanks for bringing that up!
So I tested to see if using the basement tool made a difference. Using the same lot as I did before this is what I got:There was no ground change 🤔
So I tried to raise the basement walls like I did before:I was able to get the ground to raise using the arrows/handle like last time. 🤷♀️
The only other thing I can think of is what is the starting height on your basement walls from the 3 possible settings? Mine are on the lowest setting, as you can see here:
Is perhaps your (or @jenn451 ) wall settings on one of the higher of the 3 settings? 🤔
Please update with your findings! 😇
