Is there a way to build this house without seeing this hole in the wall from 'hood view?
Everything is fine when the lot is loaded, there is no actual hole in the wall, only it seems so from 'hood view.
Also everything is fine if the rooof slope is at least 45 - it seems the wall is visible up to the maximum height of the adjacent lower roof.
I have all EPs + M&G.
I'm going for Mediterranean, so a steep roof is not an option - the roof angle in the picture is 23.
Thanks for any advice.

As far as I know, this is an EA problem and I don't believe that there is anything that you can do about this.

This is an EA problem, yes. Whenever there's a roof wall and a normal wall in the same place, only the roof wall is displayed in the lot impostor. The problem is your lower (first floor) roofs – they have, or would have, a side wall in the same place as the upstairs outside wall.

The workaround for this would be to make the lower roofs wider, so that the roof wall ends up inside the house (you can delete it after making the roof). I can't tell from the screenshot whether that would look good or not .. Maybe you could give the house a small 1-tile wraparound porch? Then you could build the first floor roof all the way through the house, and no walls would be missing.

Thank you for the replies, and thank you plasticbox for the workaround. Simply dragging the roof one more tile solved the problem. It looks good enough, too.
