Hello,
I'm building this surreal house, it's kinda floating above ground and it's only support is the base in the center. Since I used the ConstrainFloorElevation cheat A LOT, I encountered the floating ceiling problem quite often. Mostly, these were only small spots, and I managed to get rid of the most of them. Now, since it's a house that somewhat floats above ground, I wanted to make a lake beneath it. So now I made that lake, I saved the game, and all of a sudden there's this GIGANTIC PIECE of floating ceiling, AT MY LAKE! :wtf:
I tried all of the techniques I used with the other floating parts of ceiling, but none of them were effective! So basically, this is what I already tried to get rid of it:
- built a non-stone foundation at the spot of the floating ceiling (so over the lake) with CFE false, then I built a square-shaped floor on that foundation, and then it was gone. Then I relevelled the above floors (because those got warped by the CFE). And when I remove the fake square-shaped floor and the foundation, it's still gone. When I go back to the neighbourhood, the floating ceiling is just back...
- same as above, but with CFE true. It gave the same result at the end.
- levelling the levels above the lake to the same heights, then delete their floorings, then undo that, and undo the levelling. The floating ceiling is gone for a moment, but once again, after going to the neighbourhood, it just returns.
- getting rid of the lake at that spot, then putting the lake back.
- getting rid of the lake at that spot, levelling the base floor, levelling the above floors (all with CFE false, by the way), correcting the above floors to their previous state, turning CFE on true, putting the lake back and going to neighbourhood: the floating ceiling just comes back...
So, it's one of the hardest cases of floating ceiling I've ever had. I usually get rid of them easily, but this piece... Just seems too big. And I really want the lake at that spot, because as you can see in the screenshots, I have this room that somewhat hovers over the lake. And that's what I want it to look like. Hovering over it.
If it's of any use, I have the base game, World Adventures expansion pack, High-End Loft stuff pack, and Ambitions expansion pack installed.
:help: Any help is REALLY APPRECIATED, since this problem is really terrorising me! It keeps following me, aargh!! :cry:

Could someone please just give me some answers?
Even if you're not sure of your method, please just let me know.
Or tell me how you mostly solve this issue.
Anything of which you believe that could work, is useful to me.
I don't really like to continue on furnishing the house and on decorating the garden now that there's this huge white floating ceiling hovering above the pond.
So basically, I stop working on it until I have some new ways that could help me get rid of the floating ceiling.
