I don't know how or why it's happening, but I don't want it to. It seems to be affecting all of my houses with basements. It is kinda funny though.

Did you install Clean Installer??  Because that helps with the bugs if you download things or it might just be a glitch.  That's weird, haven't had that happen before.

I've checked all my mods and they're all free time compatible, and I discovered it only happens under the foundation, if you lower the terrain outside of the foundation it wont fill with water by itself. I have also quit and reloaded the game, moved the lot etc. more pics, house looks normal from outside but not from neighborhood view.

I'm not very good at these things but the sim doesn't swim in it right?  So it might just be some sort of glitch.  I think mine has that but I just don't get in the basements.  I'm sorry I'm no help!

I'll figure it out eventually, my sims just walk in it like the water isn't even there It wouldn't even upset me if I hadn't just built the house today.

Thank you!  Hopefully I can see more of your work!  Yeah you should definately post some pics of your sims on my thread(I need more replies).  Reno is awesome, I agree best character in advent children but second best is Cloud.

This happens to me as well since FT, though it apparently was a BV issue due to the new water lot features(I don't have BV).  It's due to the water table in the neighborhood.  If your lot is in a low lying area, digging will hit water.  See this for a better explanation: http://www.sims2wiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Water_in_Basement

Thanks for the help =p, I thought about that but I really didn't think the game was so complex as to actually have a "Water Table" like in real life.

simelorian when are you going to upload some pics of your sims?  I'm anxious to see them!

simelorian - yeah the water-table thing is a bit of a mind-bender.  It was one of the first things I discovered when I decided my favourite house on the canal in Veronaville needed a basement >_<

I decided later I needed a flooded basement fr a Lovecraft house with DeepOnes and then couldn't manage to get a flooded basement to save my life :lol:

The game seems to know what we want and then deny that to us :lol:

Move your house to higher land - it works I have had this happen to me in the passed - I found that I just couldn't put some houses  on lower flat land - it does have something to do with water levels etc; yes I know this sounds funny but just move your house to high land and you will see, no flooded basement.

Yeah I figured it out, thanks though =p the problem is that whole terrain is like that so I had to move them to a new neighborhood.

Nykus79, I love this house too, but the windows really make it and I don't know if I can upload it here because the windows are by Windkeeper from TSR (not sure of her policies).
