Removing Floors doesn't work how it used to

Paralee

I remember we could make lofts and more open second floors and basements if we made a room around the area and remove the floor. This isn't working for me anymore and all I want is to widen the open space around the stairs. All the old trick is doing is removing floor tiles leaving grass when I want the whole thing GONE. How do I do this now?

Did you try the sledgehammer?

Basically your second and first floor rooms need to match. So, you have to remove both the floor of the second floor and the ceiling of the first floor. If they don't match, it won't be removable unless you make an even smaller room within that where you want there to still be a floor/ceiling.

First make your rooms, one on top of the other:



Then remove the floor of the top story:


Then you need to click the yellow portion to remove the ceiling of the bottom story while on the top story after the floor has been removed (you may have to "remove the ceiling" then "build" it, then remove it again for it to actually go away):


You're left with an open floor where you can add rooms and doors and such as you wish:

If you want a grand entrance, make a room in the hallway's shape around the edges and build the ceiling:


Then remove the walls on the lower floor's hall:


Then you can add doors, furniture and design to your heart's content!:
