What could it be? "Funky" roof and friezes

Ben1010

Good evening simmers,

I am in the midst of building a lovely Georgian house with some friezes however I am stumped at what has happened to the interior ceiling between the gable and the second floor. It seems to me that the game thinks that my open-to-below landing/staircase is an outside however I have tried deleting the top floor and reapplying all the rooms and roofs however it is still looking peculiar when I put up the walls

Can any experienced builders please explain the fault here? I'm about to give up lol

Hello
@BryonyRae may be able to help you when she comes onto the forums.

Did you delete some of the floor on the top there to make an open foyer? That's what it looks like. Then the game doesn't recognize it as a closed room anymore so friezes and roofing will poke through. It might work to replace the floor, then place friese, then delete floor. AFTER all your rooms are in place (like don't make any changes after that point.) Won't help with the roof though. You will have to change your roof, half-hipped pointing out the flat side to the front would be a work around.

This is work around for roof. You have a half-hipped roof to butt up against the wall (so it doesn't bleed through). Then use a gabled roof on only the front part to get the roof overhang. Not the best but that's what I do.

edit - friezes and wall trim are all about order. so: rebuild the floor in the foyer, remove any divider between the open part and the rest of the hall so its one room again, place frieze, rebuild your open foyer. works for me.
