Foundation Is Gone?

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.94.147.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Cottage Living, Cats & Dogs, Season, City Living, Get To Work, Discover Univesity
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Raise a built house with the up/down arrow, and with a backyard with tiling, there will be a gap between the house and the "backyard".
What happens when the bug occurs? You can peer in and see the bottom of the game. When you peek in, you can see a continued pattern of the foundation you've placed.
What do you expect to see? Not a big, gaping hole under the Sims house. I expect to see a raised house and the foundation. Placing steps works, but it does not completely fix the issue, as I do not want steps at this part of my Sims house.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

‌

I have tried to take off all of my mods, and nothing has fixed the issue.

    @RachCham It seems that the broken mods have completely busted the foundation - even with mods removed the damage was done. If you get rid of the fountation and build it again does it work?

    @RachCham 

    There are a couple of things that will cause this.  From what you described; you raised the house after it was built, and you used floor tiles in the backyard.  Is the backyard fenced or otherwise completely enclosed so that when you click on the floor tiles, does it look like a room with the outlines and arrows to pull walls, raise the foundation, etc. visible?  If it does, then that's why the foundation doesn't show.  The game is seeing the space as another interior room and won't show the foundation in that situation.

    Another thing that will do it is a fence on a foundation connected to the house.  This also causes the game to see the backyard as a room and the foundation along the back side of the house will usually disappear. If that is the case, delete one fence tile to see if the foundation will show then.

    It would be helpful is you posted another pic or 2 showing a wider view to help you further. Specifically, a pic showing the entire backyard.  Or, if you are willing to upload the lot to the Gallery, I or another helper can download it to take a look at what is going on and help you fix it.  If you are willing to do that, just reply with the name of the lot and your userid, if different from the one you used here (RachCham).  

    Hope this helps.
