View Full Version : Highrise Shell Issues

Ever since I downloaded Showtime/Pets (bought them on the same day, so I'm not sure which one is actually causing the problem) - I have had issues with my Highrise Buildings.

When I place a highrise shell, the front door has a white box that says something to the effect of "missing object resource - glass door blahblahblah" - that is easy to fix.. I simply shift/ctrl click it, and delete the object, no problem...

The real problem, is that non of the shells have 'lids'.
By that, I mean: when you raise to the very top of the building (past the buildable floors), the game should automatically put a 'lid' on the shell, to make it look like the top of the building.

This isnt showing up for me.
Just the base of the building, and the hidden floors leading up to the floors you can build on.

It doesnt show up in neighborhood view either - just a building with a missing top.

I've even tried building on the floors - does not fix the issue.
I've tried building on the floors, and setting a 'level skip marker' on the top floor - does not fix the issues.

Honestly - this is terribly annoying.
I am working on an awesome city to upload to MTS, and haven't been able to work on it due to this issue.

Please help!

(oh, and I tried to see if there was a new update available - my game is patched with the newest update - STILL didnt fix the issue :faceslap: )

It seems to be a bug since Showtime:

what a bummer....
is there any way to report bugs?
this is such a major set back for world building/editing...

EA's TS3 forums... good luck with that :)

Its been a while since this post...

I still open up my create-a-world file for the custom world I was working on, and feel the need to cry over the fact that Highrise Buildings don't work..
This world would be epic.

Has anyone heard any news on this topic recently?
Found any fix?

I was thinking about re-installing the sims 3, world adventures and late night - to see if it would work without showtime, but I realized that the caw editor would make me patch my game to the most recent version...
Is there any way to get a hold of an older version of the caw editor - pre showtime?

Im determined to make this world work - I think a ton of people would love it.
I sure do - lol

Yep, found a fix. Good thing you revived a thread that's not resolved yet. Try GiLaNg's mod here: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=476789. I used it too, even though I'm not a shell builder... Try his method. ;)

Unfortunately this doesn't solve the "lid" issue - which is the real annoyance. :(

I ocassionally had this problem but with normal homes having no roofs - in live mode, using Open on the lot with Nraas MasterController, moving around/paging up and down floors a few times, then using Close put the roof back on.

No clue if that will work on the high rises though, they've always been fine for me.
