View Full Version : Windows look "stuck" in wall if I try to put objects on same wall

I always seem to have weird problems that are impossible to put into a search, but I did try, both here and on Google. I have Deluxe (base game & NL), Uni, and Best of Business (OFB, H&M Stuff, and Kitchen & Bath Stuff). This problem has been happening since I installed Best of Business.

When I place a window on the same wall as an object (such as a light, curtain, fire alarm - using Move Objects), the window looks "stuck" in the wall, i.e. the texture of the wall is where the glass should be and light cannot get through. However, I just loaded my game to get a screenshot of this, and the windows in that particular lot were back to normal. This also happens with basement-level windows.

It's really not much of a problem if I just have to exit the lot and go back in, but I'd really like some input just in case something might be wrong. Thanks!

EDIT: I just remembered something I noticed last night. My terrain paint tool functions correctly, but there is no circle showing the coverage area. Again, a minor problem, I just want to know what's going on.

This is normal behavior when you use the moveobjects cheat to place windows, or to place objects the same wall piece as a window.

A quicker work around then exiting the lot is to place your window first--the glass will show up correctly--and then place your other objects.

Phew, what a relief! Thank you both for your responses!
