Floor tiles

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.the-sims (More info?)

I decided I wanted to have a fountain instead of an indoor pool in this
mansion I'd downloaded. So I deleted the pool and used shift-click to
tile over the spot. Except that there's ONE square in the middle of the
floor where I can't put a tile. I just have the green grass underneath
and no matter what I do, I can't put a tile there.

Anybody know what causes this, and, more importantly, how to work around?

Type it into the cheat box and it will let you place floor tiles in places
that you ordinarily can't put them, like in the street. It's the way you
can "erase" the sidewalk in front of the house for a more "rural" setting,
or to make a medieval castle look more authentic. It might work in your
case. If it doesn't I guess you can always just set something over the
spot.

Jeanie, where are you finding all these cheats? I didn't know about this
one.

I found a lot of them by reading through the forums at MTS2.

Thanks, but it didn't work. Just to make sure I was doing it right I
tried adding tiles in other places one normally can't, and that worked.
But This one square still will not allow tiles.

I thought maybe the terrain was not flat, but I checked it out with the
terrain tools and it should be able to hold a tile. I've since devised
a sort of cheat: I colored the grass square a sandy color to match the
tile as closely as possible, and even created a similar tile on the
other side of the floor symmetrically so that they match. It looks
passable, like it's part of the rustic floor design, but still, if
anyone figures out another way to put a tile there, I'd appreciate
hearing it.
