Foundation/Chimney problem with The Sims 3

BeyondSims BeyondSims Author

I don’t spend much time building houses so I’m unsure if there is a trick to this.  I’m trying to help a friend figure out why she is getting a split in her chimney when she puts a fireplace in a house with a foundation.  She stated that it has never happened until she patched her game.

The problem (the split in the chimney near the foundation)

My solution (was to build a foundation under it)

Is there a method to have the chimney without the foundation and without the gap?  Any house creators care to comment if they have the same issue and would like to share their fix?  Please let me know!

    Well, ive never encountered this glitch, but maybe this could happen if you have the “moveObjects on” cheat activated…and if not then maybe try activating it and moving the chimney, i know their made up of like 3-4 peices so maybe ones glitched in the wrong place….goodluck 😀

    I have this issue in my game as well. I was able to put a floor tile in the gap and it looks ok, but I never thought of putting a foundation under it. I’m not sure when it started, but it was one of the last two patches, I think.
