Sims 4 inside house walls are invisible

I can build and move walls perfectly fine. But it seems when I close up any walls to the outside to create the whole outline of the house, all the walls on the inside of the house turn invisible. When I delete a section of wall on the outside perimeter of the house, they reappear again. I can't put anything on the walls on the inside of the house. I've tried looking up solutions but none seem to work for me. 

  • @latenightliz  Do you have your walls set to "cutaway" rather than up or down?  If so, this is normal behavior: only the exterior walls stay up, and the rest cut away to show the rooms inside.  You can put the walls up whenever you want to place items, then put them down again; or you should be able to to place items even without the walls showing as long as there isn't already another item in the way.

    If this isn't your issue, please post a screenshot or two showing what you see.

    That might be it. I just downloaded the game so I'm still very new. How do I switch it? I'm on pc.

    @latenightliz  The button for walls up/cutaway/down is in the upper right corner of the screen, I think next to the camera icon that lets you switch between the Sims 3 and Sims 4 cameras.

    Edit:  Great to hear, and enjoy.
