Dear all,
I have an odd issue. After installing the ambitions update, I happened to bulldoze my house because I was bored of it and wanted to rebuild.
I managed to delete Everything, except a couple of floor tiles on the second floor. When i select these tiles, I get the message 'Floor tile needed for object'.
As far as I can see, there are NO objects under or on these tiles. I also have no mods installed and my sims also refuse to walk over them, saying (in their speech bubbles) that its an obstacle.
Is anyone else having this problem? I've tried everything, from bulldozing the lot all over again, to the sledgehammer, to covering the tiles with another tile type and trying to delete, nothing works.
Please help!
Thanks
P.

Delete the cache files.
Found in: Documents/Electronic Arts/ Sims 3 folder
CASPartCache.package
CompositorCache.package
ScriptCache.package
SimCompositorCache.package
Then go back & try it again. If it still fails move on to another lots this one could be corrupt & there is nothing you can do to cure it.
Move you sims back into the lot from the clipboard and if the tiles are still there try deleting them with the jackhammer. Let me know if this works, if not the lot itself may be corrupted and I will let you know what to try next.

Unfortunately, none of your solutions have worked
I tried deleting the package files, restarted and didn't work. Even ticked the 'run game without modifications' and that didn't work (even though I have none).
also tried editing it as you've mentioned and also checked for puddles. unfortunately nothing
I've attached a picture for reference. Maybe this will help!
I have figured out a solution! I copied the house and its contents and family to the clipboard, and moved it to another lot. I deleted the previous lot and it seemed to fix the issue.
Thanks for mentioning that the lot itself may have been corrupted, Writin_Reg! Gave me the inspirational idea to move everything to somewhere else!
Case closed. Thanks for all your comments Very much appreciated.

When this has happened to me, I usually find if I level up as far as possible to the roof, and work my way downwards level by level then there is a piece of roof, half wall, fence, or railing, etc. or something still there. When I find it, I use the hammer from build category to highlight and delete it.
So, try going to roof level and working down by levels. At each level, take a peek from different sides of the house (directions). For some reason, these stubborn objects show up in one angle more quickly than another.
When you're sure you've done a 360 circle, and haven't found anything then go ahead and move down to inspect the next level.
Hoping you find the solution. Good Luck.
