I could kiss who ever made the new custom basement too! Now I can copy my first floor to the basement without even having to leave the first floor. No more counting squares for me! YAY!

Thanks again, so much! It seems to be fixed!!!!! It turned out to be a language issue. I believe I downloaded a patch or something and selected “English (US)”, but my Origin account has “English (GB)” selected and the issue resulted in weird text problems relating only to recent content. The problem still remains, but only on my latest save, which isn’t too bad. The below thread was useful in figuring out the problem:

Sadly, that isn’t a bug, so they can’t fix it with a patch. This problem appears when lines of text change or are added to the game, without the actual text files updating. Nobody really knows why the game does that. For all I know, it might actually be an Origin bug but nobody is sure of that.
For most people, having Origin repair the game resolves the issue but yours seems to be a bit penetrant. Maybe is would help to delete your user folder (the folder where your saves folder and mods folder are located in) and having Origin redownload only that folder. It is significantly smaller than uninstalling the entire game and should only take a couple of minutes.
But if you do it that way, just make sure to back up your saves and mods before deleting the Sims 4 folder.

Thank you for your help! Sadly didn’t fix the problem. But I did discover that the problem manifests in different ways on each save. Though creating a new save doesn’t fix it completely. Oh well, maybe a patch will eventually do something. I’m not willing to uninstall again after having done so after GTW came out 🙂

Ya basicly thats what it does i actually kinda like it, for me not being all that good at building it actually helps me visualize the room shape better.

I think I was most excited (besides NewCrest) for the tutorial revamp! Very easy now to decline tutorials instead of clicking through all the little arrows. Looks much better and easier on reinstallers and such.

The new build tool just makes building custom shaped rooms a little quicker.
It doesn’t do anything you can’t do with the regular wall segments but instead of having to place one segment at a time, you now draw the whole thing out in one go and the walls are placed on your final click.
Just another option that some players may prefer I guess.
