I'm building in Aurora Skies and after awhile it looks like my basement has a hazy water effect. I've since moved the lot and don't have the problem (so far!), but before, the lot was near the science centre.
Is this a glitch or something that happens?

But why is it on my lot?
Yours looks a bit different though in that picture. The water ripples around some but not all of your sims looks like they were MOO'ed out of a pool or something. I don't actually see the water and the sim in the red shirt doesn't seem to be affected. Could just be the timing of the picture though. You may just have to forgo basements or deeper terrain sculpting in that world. I haven't played there enough to be familiar with this problem there.
I've got a two level basement that needs to be in this build.
The only time I ran into having water in a basement was in a world I was testing for someone and the house was next to the beach.
Where are we going, and why am I in this hand basket?!
No pool on the lot though. Hmmm! Thank you @HappySimmer3
It wasn't the basement tool, I use terrain sculpting to build almost all of my basements because I think it looks better and I can have basement windows if I like. So yeah, the basement I was talking about was one achieved using terrain sculpting rather than the basement tool.
Shucks, what to do, what to do.
I may have to forgo the walkout basement and use the tool.
The other day I was testing a new mod in a new game and the neighbors came over to greet my sims and they stayed and swam in the pool too. Then one of them got out and went into the house and started swimming in the hallway.

My Sims hadn't been swimming anywhere. It must be the water level. I'm going to place a double basement with the basement tool and see if water gets in.
If that works, happy days, if not, this Scandinavian build is going to a different world.
If water actually is in your basement you can tell by shifting the camera around until you see the water level in there (not just the effects around them). I suspect you do have water in that basement because the effects are around the waist of that sim that's climbing the stairs.
If I'm not mistaken, in the world that I was testing years back, the one where that house on the beach had water in the basement, it was also not made with the basement tool but the old fashioned way we used to use for TS2. I don't remember if it was a walk-out with a door though.
Let us know how it goes!

I'm thinking there definitely is water in there. It's happened on every lot where I've placed the house. Too bad there's no cliff lots in Aurora Skies.
This is making me scratch my head.
However, the basement tool seems to work perfectly ok.
I tested this by building a basement each way. I'll post pictures once photobucket stops playing up!

Basement Tool
@HappySimmer3 - so it seems the basement tool is fine to use!
Walk outs do work in some worlds because I have seen some that weren't flooded. But yeah, apparently in that world they are not going to work unless you want an underground pool.
