Re: Cannot paint the foundations.
@sindidoll @crinrict
Foundations only use the special textures/paints under the foundation tool.

Those do not work for me either.
Same, I can build foundations but even using the FOUNDATION Wallpaper as seen in the post above, it does not let me apply to the foundation, in fact it looks like the foundation doesn't get added at all, it looks like the floor inside the wall lifts but the wall doesn't.
- @philsonface sounds like you are using the platform tool, rather than the foundation tool. When you click on a room to add the foundation, there are a number of arrows which appear.
In the middle of the selected room, there is a double-ended arrow with a box in the middle - this is the foundation tool
When you click on a room, a little white box appears giving you the option to move the room around/copy the room etc. The up and down arrows on the left-side of this white box are the platform tool.
https://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/tutorials/building/platforms.php - I was using the double ended arrow in the middle, too. It didn't seem to make a difference, which is weird if they are completely different tools
Personnally I haven't been able to put pattern on my foundation even if I use the up-and-down arrow. The foundation raises but I am not able to put any of the foundation textures. It says there is nothing to modify.
Regardless of which tool I use. Whether it's the platform or the foundation. It adds a giant trim that I can't change, as well as the foundation itself being unchangable. (Change meaning 'add or replace colors/wallpapers; Yes I am using the foundation wallpapers and not that regular wallpapers)
EDIT: So maybe it was miscommunication. But on the image of the house, I clicked on the visual foundation link and it took me to an even DIFFERENT (3rd kind of "different") Foundation wallpaper tool. THIS one did actually work for me.
- @Thats_Me_Madz No. I'm using exactly what you mentioned and just raising the house. But the foundation wallpapers do not apply to the foundation at all. They pretend to, but no changes actually happen.
