actually thers no water in the pond outdoor and in the bath indoor but when u stay close to them it sounds like there was a water.
another thing is when i enter exhibitions on the last floor, some furnitures are stand above the floor, some of them more - some less and there are three masks i can pick up. also i can acces studies and see whats inside but dark wiki website says its impossible before mission 'masks'.
and that annoying thing when i try to get inside the mansion through secret passage from the garden and i cant pass, i cant even jump or crouch because of this damn rooflet - only way to get inside trough this passage is to put box on that rooflet close to the entrance, jump on it, get crouch and then move inside. same thing in 'masks'.
do u have similar problems guys?
btw - are u also cant open doors to elevator or its just me? i didnt found any kay in that mission and lockpicks dont work with these doors.

There was a water, hey? I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and say you're talking about Thief.
And for this reason, I've moved your post which inexplicably contains no capital letters to the Legacy Gaming Help forum.

There's no water in the pool. What about a picture of the art gallery?

Yes, these are problems experienced by everyone who's played Thief 2. The developers had to rush the game to market because they were going out of business, so some of the later missions have issues that they didn't have time to resolve.
Also, you can definitely access the third floor areas in Casing the Joint, but there isn't much there. No loot, and no people. There isn't supposed to be. The mansion is mostly empty during Casing because the house staff and most of the residents are at one of Gervasius' other homes. That's why Garrett decided to scope the place out in advance. (The real reason for this is that LGS didn't have time to create another map, so they came up with a fairly clever excuse to use the same map for two missions)
You can pick up a few of the masks on the third floor, but again, you're technically not supposed to do this before the next mission. They aren't worth any loot and they won't be in your inventory when you start Masks.
The secret entrance you're referring to has given me tons of problems, ever since I started playing this mission, and it gives problems to everyone. I don't know why that particular rooflet is such a problem, but your experience is par for the course.
You'll just have to deal with these problems like everyone else. I still enjoyed this mission a lot. It's actually one of my favorites because of its atmosphere and emphasis on pure stealth, but it does have some glitches.
