@Hoppel785 I believe your issue is related to this thread, which covers several lots with uneven ground where this type of thing happens. I am not familiar with the lot name you used in your post, but please let me know if it is one of the lots listed on the thread. If not, if you could provide me with the name of the lot, I can look into it.

@BryonyRae, Thank you for your answer in the other thread. Unfortunately, I had not found this thread, otherwise I would have answered right here. It is a plot in Oasis Springs. I am from Germany and the property names are certainly a bit different. Everything you have listed is true and it seems that it affects almost the whole property. I add some pictures and the video, what I did. Unfortunately, I do not know what to do, the house is 95% ready and I just wanted to do the pool and little things.

@Hoppel785 I'd recommend saving your build to the Library and then placing it on a different (unaffected) lot of the same size in order to finish up the build. I can understand that if you had it planned as a desert home and there isn't another desert lot to use, that this may not be a good solution for you, but look among the various worlds and see if maybe you can't find another lot that might work.

@SproutLee this lot is already on our list, so I've merged the threads.

OK, Ea! Time to step up to the plate! This has been going on since 2015. It is now 2020. I think it's time this bug was addressed. Either that or give us a world edit tool as I am sure we can all do a better job of fixing this issue. To read that it's not only happening in Newcrest but in Forgotten Hollow and others also means that this seems to be a common problem on many Sims 4 maps. I realize that we were given this map (Newcrest) in order to appease the cries for "Give us more lots to build on!" but that was no reason to give us a buggy map. As for maps that came with EPs is a disgrace.
I have been trying with no success, to place some sidewalk tiles and I keep getting a can't find object error, which seems to be generated because of the uneven ground quirk in Comfy Cubby. To replicate this problem, start a new game and try to flatten the lot. Even without placing anything, it still gives an error - "Can't find object". What object? Anyways, I thought I would add my findings although as this has been ignored now for five years, I doubt if it's going to help.
Personally, the uneven ground never generated an error before but it must be due to ground heights tool being added and elevations being editable.

I found a fix but I shouldn't have to figure these problems out, as they shouldn't happen in the first place.
First off, trying to add a lot from the gallery - personal or otherwise - doesn't work as it generates another error - Object cannot be deleted. As this is supposed to be an empty lot, there shouldn't be any objects on it.
What I had to do, was go into the manage worlds screen and place a lot from the gallery there into Comfy Cubby. I'm thinking now that perhaps I needed to use the move object cheat earlier but why? This was a brand new game and a brand new lot so there shouldn't have been anything on it to begin with. So either something was left after the map was created that got left behind or its due to a bug. Either way, now I can go back onto the lot, delete the house I placed there and actually build on the lot as I should have been able to do originally. Wow!

I'm not seeing the issue that you're describing. Can you send me a private message with the affected save file?
