Sims 2 double deluxe problem

[Ktara]

I've tried to search this here and other places but not found anything, anyway when we go into build mode there is no hammer for destroying walls or anything. I wanted to get rid of a swimming pool I made a error in making for one of my sims houses and could not. Anyone know if this is a known problem or just a rare glitch?

Never heard of that before...
Is the hammer there in buy mode, or is it just gone in build mode?

The hammer tool came with the Pets EP.

Removing a pool pre-Pets works the same as removing walls, foundations, et al. Go into the pool section of build mode and Ctrl+click to remove a pool tile, or Ctrl+click+drag across the entire pool to remove it.
