Hi!
It's me again. I found the problem.
I loaded Makin' Magic and the 3 sets of Double Deluxe downloads (from the Official The Sims site) on the same day. I didn't realize that many of the objects and walls I used actually came from the Double Deluxe downloads are were not a part of Makin' Magic. If you download and install the 3 sets of Double Deluxe objects (which includes a spanish styled kitchen set, an Asian set and African artifacts) from the official site, then reload my houses, it will fix the problem.
Thanks for the post as I have been using those new objects and walls a LOT in my houses. Now, I include a message about the downloads.

Hi!
Thank you for the compliment. That message is another Sim enemy invented by an annoying little elf to prevent Simmers from simply enjoying the game.
Seriously, I don't know why you got that message. It could be for a variety of reasons:
1. I forgot to include a wall or floor in the zip OR you forgot to add it to your walls/floors folders before entering the house.
2. The house was built with a version of the Sims you don't have. I now have The Sims and all expansion packs installed. (I used Deluxe instead of the The Sims cd for the first installed disk.) This may be why as it includes a few more objects. I will be sure to update my houses to say this.
3. Although I don't design with objects in the game, I have a whole slew of Maxis created objects (especially Maxis downloads and the new Asian objects from Makin' Magic) that don't show up on all my computers. I try not to use them. Usually, only user created objects present this problem though. If I had a user created object in my game when I designed and saved the house, it will usually present that message.
Hope this helps a little.

HAPPY SIMMING!
