Side effects of building

Post by Sara_Darkees » April 18th, 2019, 1:55 am

I need the help of builders. It's not the first time I've seen this... glitch? But I still don't know how to fight it. It's not a ceiling, it's not a real floor tile and it can't be removed with a sledgehammer. This thing is visible around this angle and doesn't interfere with the gameplay. But it's really an eyesore! I don't want to tear down half the precinct and rebuild a lot. Maybe someone will have ideas how to get rid of this with the least loss?

I have always been able to sledgehammer those, they are usually caused by using the CFE cheat and are from floor tiles, if that is the glitch it appears to be from the picture.

Yes, I usually just delete them with the sledgehammer and check if any regular floor or ceiling tiles are missing then. Replacing them should not cause the glitch again.

I've had those with some lots produced by EA that I've built/added onto and I've also had them be resistant to the sledgehammer tool for years. Until suddenly I found they were no longer resistant and I could finally get rid of them while in Build Mode. Don't know if a patch helped fix this along the way or if it was just random lot design breakage that magically fixed itself, but others have shared similar experiences with those hard to reach but sometimes too easy to see at certain angles building artifacts.

I already tried to remove the roof and it was gone, but then when I put the roof back in place, that white thing came back, too. Yes, I sometimes use the CFE code because the construction possibilities are very limited. Well, it looks like I should either hope for a miracle or tear down the upper floors.

I found a way to fix this! The problem, surprisingly, was connected with the far roof. I removed the floor tile on the roof, fixed some areas of the floor with CFE, removed some walls, put everything back in place and now it no appears. At least in a visible place this problem is no more. Yay. Although I thought there was some secret way that involves using DE - sometimes this mod useful in building...
