I am having a very similar issue. I have tried multiple different things to eliminate other possibilities but every time I try to delete a wall in build mode the game freezes and I can't do anything else it won't even let me save the game, just an endless loading screen until I force quit.

Game freezes when building/deleting wall

I split your post as it sounds different.
Any mods/cc in your game ? What platform are you playing on ?

Hello! Same thing happens to me. I keep trying to build but whenever I try to delete half walls my game just freezes up. The screen will say "paused" even when I click play. Also happens when I place full walls. I play with no mods/cc.

Thanks.
There's a known issue where changing build mode generally leads to issues: Can't make changes to build | EA Forums - 4976886 but leaving this separate as it sounds it's specifically walls.

Game is currently still having that problem, deleting or modifying a specific wall isn’t allowing me to save the game or upload any other house from my library. I get suck on an endless load screen. 12/04/24

I started having a similar issue intermittently after the 25th birthday update, and now it is constantly happening with the new patch update after Businesses and Hobbies came out. If I delete a wall segment in build mode, I cannot "undo" or build or move anything. And saving or changing lots after this happens just results in the game being stuck loading. I have had to force close every time.

I am also having issues building walls and just general placing items, this started happening yesterday. When I build walls, the cost isn't subtracted from the household funds, I can't delete anything, the "undo" button in build/buy doesn't work along with ctrl+z and when I move items placed before yesterday they disappear and I cant undo that actions either. The items disappear after the walls have been placed, if I move them before the walls are placed, they are still there. If I buy a new item, it will be placed, but if I click it, it will disappear - the cost is also not subtracted. When I leave to either main menu or desktop the game freezes - I haven't tested if the game also freezes if I play and doesn't enter build/buy.
I am playing on a lot where there is a small business and home lot. I have tried: repairing the game, changing the lot to all public rooms, changing the lot to all residential rooms, removed the 2 mods I play with and redone the before mentioned steps
I am uploading a save file for you guys to look at

I was about to finish a house i was building. then i changed my mind and wanted to turn a room into a veranda. after deleting the walls and windows, i can't put anymore walls or windows or anything. i press f1, the game cannot be 'unpaused'. i thought at first its a problematic mod--it not. i tried removing the mod and opening the game--result is still the same. the game sort of freezes. i was building on heavy mods/cc lol
to solve it, what i did was i saved the unfinished house into my library.
i then deleted the house while on build mode (without changing the terrain, just the house.) then i bought the same house i saved in the library. and it worked. i was able to delete the windows and remove the walls and continue building.
(but i still dont know why it was freezing in the first place lol ).

EA_CadeHave you guys looked at the files I sent? I sent the files almost a week ago and I haven't heard anything. This is a GAME BREAKING BUG, would be nice to know that EA takes game breaking bugs seriously.
