Re: Sims 4 - build mode blue, not showing design

@krsukkau Have you added windows yet? The lighting inside fully enclosed rooms can be almost nonexistent. As an experiment, try building a single room with a couple of windows on each side, while Build/Buy is set to afternoon lighting. The button to switch the time of day, at least as far as what you see in BB, is with the other controls at the top middle of the screen.

If you see the same effect, please post a couple of screenshots, and let me know whether your computer runs Windows or macOS. It would also help to know the graphics settings you're using; you can put the game in windowed mode and take a screenshot of that as well. Images can be embedded within the text of a post, which is especially helpful if you want to attach more than three to a single post.

I'm bringing back this old post because i had the same question. This seems to happen when there's some sort of issue with the structure of what you're doing. Like maybe you've made a change and now your room doesn't have a wall.

Or, I made a deck that was blue and it was because i needed to pick the floor and fencing.
If I had to recommend something, I would say back out if you can to the point that your action did this and see if you can do it a different way. If it's too late for that, see if your house isn't a complete wall all the way around or something like that.
