[edit] Issue

Whenever you attempted to build a basement or a pool, the game would CTD (crash-to-desktop).


[edit] Cause

EA introduced a new Build mode capability in patch 1.5/1.6 - the ability to build underground basements and tombs - like the ones in World Adventures.

What this means is that for existing Lots, built prior to the 1.5/1.6 patch - if the lot has a pool, the game would crash if you click on the Pool or Basement tool in Build mode.


[edit] Solution

You'd need to demolish the existing pool with the sledgehammer tool, save and exit out to Edit Town screen. Then re-enter the lot.

If it still crash, it might need

  • a save to library, bulldoze lot and replace from library or
  • a game exit, refresh cache and re-load the game.
