Weird green pool problem
«

I swear I searched, but I didn't even know what search terms to use, so it was fruitless. "Green build mode thingy"?
This problem has followed me from my old laptop. I have no idea what it is, and the only "solution" I had for it before was to exit the lot without saving when I saw it appear. Unfortunately, I seemed to have missed it during my most recent save, so now it's stuck on my lot.
This pool was built MONTHS ago. I have not added onto it or modified it at all. I don't even know if I've been in build mode, recently. Seemingly out of nowhere, the bright green that shows up when you're building a pool, or selecting land to level, shows up on the corner, while in play mode. Most times it's this corner. Sometimes it's 3 corners. Sometimes it's two. But it cannot be built on, deleted, 'sploded with the stuck objects remover, or lot debuggerified. It just. won't. go. away.
Any clues?

No idea, but I have had it happen with different build mode tools. Once it was the fence thingy, and most recently the ground-moving tool. The arrow even moved. I'd played two sim-days without saving when I saw that one, it HURT to exit without saving, I tell ya. HURT.

That's pretty much how I feel about this green square thing. Ouch.
I've had the building tool get stuck, before, so now I make sure before I go back into gameplay, I switch to the "hand grab tool thingy".
I hope I'm not being too technical, here.

What happened when you deleted that section of the pool? That might help. Also, you might try using the flatten terrain tool over that area. Sometimes that will clear the graphic glitch.
And if that doesn't work, put some bushes over it and call it a day. (That's the TS2 build mode equivalent of duct tape.
)

I've tried removing that part of the pool, and the square would remain. I'd remove the flooring, and it would remain. I could build a pool all around the square, but that looked stupid, like a fluorescent green island. I guess I'm going to have to grow one of those shrubs that grow in cement on the edges of pools. You know, like what you'd do in real life if a bright green square suddenly appeared on your property.
Realism? Screw that.

I have lost my ground-moving tool circle thingies (shown in your pic) altogether. I can't figure out why, or how to get them back either.

Me too! WTF? I want it back. I have also had the wall-building "line" get stuck on my lots.

I want mine back as well. It's such a pain building ponds without it!
It's nice? to know someone else is having the same problem. Not that you have it, but I feel less alone now

I get the green square (or white, or blue, depending on my computer's mood it seems) consistently any time I try to build a rounded-edged pool. Always just one corner. I just gave up and did square corners in the end.
I also had the stuck building tool thing, but it went away when I reloaded the lot, even after saving, so I'm not sure that's a killer. If you re-enter build mode and move the tool to a different area, that might also unstick it.

Ah, so it's the rounded corners that are the culprits! Damn. I liked them, too.

When I first saw the subject line I thought it was a Spilt Pee problem you were talking about.
