I have been reworking an old church I build a long time ago. I read the tutorials here how to make lots and tried few new things out. Well one of them gave me a problem. I tested the cheat roofslopeangle to see if the roofs could look nicer. Well I didn't like it so I went away from the lot without saving cause I couldn't figure out at that time what my default roofangle was.
Then I loaded my lot again and the roofs were back as they were before.
The problem started the next day as I loaded my game and the lot again. Suddenly the roofs had gone mad and the slopeangle was somewhere like 60. :cry:
(See the attached images, image 1: roof gone mad, image 2 normal roof)
Now I had to figure out what I had had before so I tried with several numbers until I realized that it should be roofslopeangle 45. That looked like the roofs I started with.
Now I saved the lot, loaded the neighborhood and then loaded the lot again. The roofs were as they should be and I thougth, okey problem solved.
This happened during the last week. Now yesterday the problem occured again. I had been trying to package my lot and reinstall it to see if it works. There I encounted many problems which I'm not going to go into because thats another issue.
I need to explain the steps I did anyway if that messed things up with the roofs again. To get a fresh start I deleted my The Sims 2 file from My documents and started the game over so I could see if my sim2package file works. Now it didn't so I took the deleted Sims 2 file from the trashcan and put it back were it suppoused to be (My documents - EA Games - The Sims 2)
I started the game again and there my lot was as it should be. I entered the lot and the roofs had gone mad again:!: :cry:
Why does it do that? I can't understand. If I try to upload the lot here on MTS and the lot has this problem isn't there a possibility the the nice people here that download it could get this problem into their game with this lot?
Because I have reinstalled my game lately I only have The Sims 2 Double Deluxe (base game, NL and Celebration stuff), UNI and OFB installed right now. I havent yet installed my other expansions.
Other things you may need to know. This could be irrelevant :!: I have reinstalled my Windowns XP Media Edition a while ago with my husbands help. I (read "my husband" ;) ) haven't had the time yet to update my graphics card driver, but the game with these expansions worked nicely before when my computer were new (3 years ago) so I don't know if that could be the root to the trubble. (Back then I only had The sims 2 Deluxe without celebration Stuff, but the dvd broke and I returned it to the EA. They sent me instead Double Deluxe.) The next week I am finally going to get help to update my driver. :) Yey!
So :help: me if you can, please!
If I have posted this on a wrong place, pleace tell me where I should post it if you delete it. I have read tutorials, FAQs and all I can think of and searched the site for the correct forum but I'm still confused if this is the right place for this question. I'm am new to this so bare with me.
Thank you in forehead for your help :)
