Hi everyone, again.


The question is simple: WHAT THE HECK IS THIS WHITE THING. I'm going mad, I can't figure it out. That's not the first time it appears, it occurred in another house too, after I have built that house, played a bit, then saved and exited. When I loaded it back, that thing appeared! Same with this one. any guesses?
Thanks, PiT.

I dont see a glaring issue with your specs, though you could use an update for your video driver (Driver Date: 7/2/2009)
This would, more than likely, be a gameplay glitch of some kind. Have you zoomed out, up, etc to see the lot from a distance?
Do you notice anything else odd about it? Can you click on the object/polygon at all? Tried using Testingcheatsenabled and
tried to Shift+Click on the object? Did you use CFE on that lot? Umm, not sure what else to suggest, any thing else you can
think of to add?

Old thread, I know, but It was apparently never solved, so here's the fix in case anyone else comes across this.

The floating white shapes seem to be some sort of random terrain-related glitch. Very simple to get rid of: in build mode, use the sledgehammer and click each white shape to delete it.

No idea why, but it works.
