[ Edited ]
★★★ Novice

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.68.156.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Tiny Living, Moschino, Laundry, Vintage Glamour, Kids Room, Romantic Garden, Cool Kitchen, Perfect Patio, Realm of Magic, Strangerville, Jungle Adventure, Parenthood, Vampires, Spa Day, Outdoor Retreat, Eco, Uni, Island Living, Get Famous, Seasons, Pets, City, Get Together, Get to Work.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I'm not sure what makes the bug occur, but playing around with platforms and stairs when there is a level above ususally does it.
What happens when the bug occurs? Stairs don't place on platforms where they should be able to.
What do you expect to see? Stairs place nicely pls.

I'm trying to use the new platform function to make a staircase with a large landing. However, only one tile on the platform allows me to place a staircase. This problem persists when I delete the ceiling of the "landing" room.

Raising terrain and then undoing that height adjustment or placing a platform no longer prevents objects from being placed in that area.

Fixed in Patch 1.99.264/1.78

please create a new thread if you're still experiencing this issue,

Object obstructed by nothing, Couch also obstructed

Counter for good measure

I was able to reproduce everything you posted so there is a bug of some type imo.

 

But I found that by leaving the lot and going to the map and then returning to the lot fixed it.  So it looks to be temporary and whatever was blocking the door and object placement goes away when I did that. 

 

After getting it to clear on the first test structure, I repeated it on the same lot in another place.  Built a room with a platform and deleted it and the issue happened again.  Leaving the lot and returning to it also cleared it up and I was able to place the door and a few objects again.

 

So, you can get around the problem by leaving the lot and reentering the lot from the map.

 

Hope this helps.

When you lower the platform have you readjusted the floor so it is one room again? I had a platform in this room then lowered it down to ground level but the room still exists in two portions:

I grabbed the other part of the room and pulled it to the left to create one room again:

Placement is all fine again. Also, you can place objects with MOO enabled no problem.

i build kinda weirdly so there were no rooms when i discovered the issue i placed down the platform to see how it worked before starting my build and then deleted it once i got a feel for how it worked and thought about how to add it to my builds. i didn't think to try with moveobjects i will try that when i do play again

EDIT: bb.moveobjects on did work in allowing me to place in the area though ive had an issue for a while when using moveobjects where stuff in my house that i have placed with moveobjects will automatically go into my house inventory at random, its not super often but can be quite annoying when you've placed it just right and the item decides it doesn't want to cooperate Large smile

I had a similar issue yesterday. I was testing the platforms for the first time, placing a 3x3 square on the ground outside, then I added more smaller platforms on top of it. Then I hit undo until the platform was gone. I didn't think much of it until I then later tried to place something in the area where the platform had been, and it didn't want to be placed. Something invisible blocking the path. A save and reload back into the lot fixed it.

@Jasperaus08 I also have this and sometimes i get walls i can't delete or edit or add anything near because game tells me i am out of bounds when I am not

also stairs being placed next to wall that is at the end of platform tend to glitch out for some reason and platforms connecting to exterior walls seem to cause biggest glitches simply vanishing to thin air or raising and going down on their own when editing other parts of build

@heatherxirene Could you please edit your post and fill out the bug form ? Seems you weren't prompted for it.

Editing should help with that.

Re: platform stairs error; "can't intersect obstructions"

@heatherxirene I built an exact copy of your building, and used the same stairs and ceilings lights as you. I eventually managed to reproduce your exact error message in the same place but only after a few successful times of placing the stairs!! I had to also reduce the higher platform down by one click - I had it up 4 stairs in height and reducing by one click so it would be an uneven number of stairs seemed to do the trick. At one point I actually got the message "bottom of stairs is off the lot" !!! So just try going up or down one click on your platform

even when deleting or removing platform if the obstruction object is created that point is inaccessible
