How To Un-Multi Level a House
Hecubus:
Okay.....so....two things:
1. If you can tell me where you got the house, I can download it and look in-game.
Meanwhie....
2. Is the second split level by any chance created with a stage? If so, that's an eay delete. Otherwise, it appears the builder may have done a sublevel 4 clicks high...and your second level is actually one more up.
EDIT: okay, that's exactly what the builder did (I just looked again at the way the windows and doors sit).
The fix....well, yer not gonna like it.
Choice 1. Delete everything above the first floor and rebuild a single level second floor, add the roof, etc. This is the one I'd choose...neater, cleaner, easier to play in the long run.
Choice 2. Go up so that the second split level area is playable....delete the floor and the stairs. This means you'll have that odd 'partly missing window' thing at the 4-click level's bottom (like you do now). I find this to work well in terms of building but not in terms of game play.
Another addition to this post: I looked at the second floor, and if you wish to retain its funky shape, termporarily draw a funky colored floor onto the roof to outline the wall grid...when you delete that whole madness, you will know where to rebuild.
(Last edit's because my fingers apparently don't work anymore and my toes don't know how to spell.)

Hi Hercubus,
Deleted the entire second floor, but still no luck. There DEFINATELY is that 4 clicks thing you mentioned :-) Each time I try to place a flat roof, I get some of the roof on the top, then the balance of it seems to be halfway down the wall etc. And I did as you suggested, I deleted the ENTIRE 2nd floor, walls and all, then re-did a rough version to test, and below is what I got after adding the flat roof. A normal roof tho, seems to look ok?
Have no clue where I downloaded this from. I suspect it was from MTS, but its called A Bit Moderns Donation Gift 2, so perhaps its from PMBD.
Deleting the split level works, but then that half door / wall thing is gonna bug the shit out of me :-)
Any way i can create a package file from the neighbourhood and maybe email it to you to tinker with? It really is an awesome house to play with, but with all the cheats enabled to modify the floor etc, touching up is very difficult...

The House is in http://paysites.mustbedestroyed.org/booty/abitmodern/ and called "donationhouse_1_red_passion"
Hecubus:
Thanks Havelock! I'll download now and see what's up...stay tuned.
BTW: It may be that even after the deletion, there's some odd hidden levels that have to be evened out...maybe some terrain flattening would help.
Will go look now.

Dbnguy, I love your avatar :D
Maybe replacing the sunken lounge with foundation first will help to even things out so you can delete the extra level wall. Try building a foundation, then a wall by the building and then using boolProp constrainFloorElevation false drag across the building using floortiles. Add another wall for each of the levels. Don't forget to turn off the cheat after though.
