Thanks to both of you. Your creations are amazing. You are a great team.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Can yuo show me with a screeshot, please?

The walls have many different width and configuration and we have chosen to make a piece that works fine with more configuration.The piece you sad is possible only for the straight element, for the diagonal element it isn't, as you can see in the game, becouse my diagonal mesh is longer than the wall-end diagonal. The diagonal mesh needs to be longer becouse when you connect a diagonal wall with another wall, the diagonl will be longer....... and we must cover the connection.... Hope you understand my english......
I'm thinking over to make this new little piece

Yes, I already know these imperfections......it's more difficult for me to explain you with my bad english the causes.If you turn around with the video-camera you'll can see the jagged pixels disappear and show-up on another element......
I can tell you that we are trying to fix these problems, but I'm not sure it's possible. We have chosen the best way to make the kickmoulding works fine, and we have chosen some priorities, example to must put on the wall others objects as windows, doors, painting, phone...... and sims must use the phone on the wall ofcourse........

Yes, is something about the light. Also on this problem we are working.

When Numenor comes back from the vacantion sure he can explain to you better than me.

Oops, it turns out that it was a toilet being too near the diagonal wall that was preventing the door from closing, not the moulding. My apologies for the mix-up.

I have tested this in my game now, and there seems to be a problem.
I can put the molding in my game and it looks great (especially with those messed up stairway walls) but if I go to build mode and back to buy mode they disappear completely. If I go out of the game and back in they are there again. BUT the corner molding stays the whole time. I didn't realize this at first and though I had just forgotten to put the molding up and so put more molding on top of the invisible one. Very confusing...

I also have problems putting them on diagonal walls (using the diagonal version, of course), as the kick molding stops partway on the wall. The crown molding goes all the way across but not the kick molding.

I may have missed something here, so please tell me how to put the molding in properly if I have done it wrong.


EDIT: I have all the EP's but no stuff packs installed. My mods are Pescado's plus InSIM and InTEEN.

Kickmouldings and staircases: I already noticed that sometimes, when a staircase is placed near a kickmoulding, the kickmoulding disappears. I have not the faintest idea why this happens and unfortunately I can provide no solution, at the moment. This should only happen with normal staircases, though, not with modular ones.

Kickmouldings on diagonal walls: you shouldn't manually pick the diagonal from the catalog. As explained in the first post, "You need to purposely pick the diagonal from the catalog only in specific cases: when you want to put the kickmoulding over a diagonal door."

Doh! Should have read that about the diagonal kickmoldings. Anyway, this happened to two rooms that I put the moldings into. Both rooms were near modular staircases. The moldings vanished for the entire room, even the parts that were pretty far from the staircase.

I really like this stuff and would love to use it but I get too ticked off when it suddenly doesn't show up.

I nearly missed these. I rarely go beyond page 2 of a thread and this was down on page 3
Absolutely amazing idea. I hate those skirting boards and mouldings the maxis have on their wallcoverings

ADDED: HALF-WALL CROWN
BUGFIX: KICKMOULDING & CROWN (now the kickmouldings do NOT disappear any more when a staircase is placed nearby; also, they are correctly restored when the walls are torn down and then up again).
UPDATE: ALL THE RECOLOUR PACKS AND RECOLOUR SETS (now they include the half-wall crown, too)
(look for the symbol in the POST on the top!)

Great! I will test this over the weekend.

I love these things OMG!!

I had one problem though when I tried to use it in the game, whenever i tried to stick it to the wall the game crashes They're so great and its frustating not being able to use them. Help...

The game crashes? Never heard of this problem...
Please, redownload the set, in case some package got corrupted while downloading/unpacking.

I redownloaded and reinstalled it today but it still does the same thing. I thought maybe I needed to have specific placing cheats enabled like moveobjects or snapObjectsToGrid and not use it in any of the default lots the base game has (I only have base game) to make it work but unfortunately same result. Maybe I have too much stuff on my downloads folder or something. Its a great item though and if I could make it work it'll be all over my sims house.

I'm sorry for not being able to help you... I can only say that you don't need any cheat to place these objects, and that they have been extensively tested in a base-game only installation.

well, i don't know how i missed these...i spend most of my time building and these are great...thank you both for sharing your talent.

I noticed that sometimes when I place the straight mesh over "diagonal wall without door", the straight mesh change into the diagonal mesh with "the holes, and when I select the diagonal mesh, I can't pick the segment without holes because there is none. Therefore, I suggest that you guys add "piece without holes" straight recolor in the both kickmoulding and halfcrown diagonal mesh.

New problem: the diagonal mesh from both the kickmoulding and half crown are not visible in Buy Mode when we are playing community lot, except in Wholesale Mode.

Oh em effing gee.
SUPERB!
-Applause-
Even my kitty agrees that this rocks.
-Pokes kitty-
-Kitty purrs in agreement-
This just plain pwns. xD No more having to make zillions of copies of the same color paint or wallpaper just to add kickmouldings. Never seen them in real life, but they're pretty cool in-game. xD
Thanks for these! You two are fawesome.

When I try and place any of these moldings, my game completely crashes.. I have a decent computer that runs the sims fine, so I don't think it's that.
I only have the exp. Uni.

Please help... I dont want to have to delete them..

We'll try to reproduce these problems in our game, and testing again with only the EP Uni.
In case we'll fix our items as soon as possible.
Thanks to report

There was a bug, now fixed, that caused the University-only games to crash. Also fixed the bug that prevented users from picking the right colour from the catalog for the diagonal items.

The updated RARs are:

• KickMoulding+Crown_MESHES.rar
• HalfWallCrown_MESHES.rar

Please redownload the two updated RARs (you can click on the links in this post, if you like).

Thanks to anak_ponti and Serenity for reporting the bugs

It works great now. Thanks, MaryLou & Numenor, you guys are the best.

Thank you so much for fixing the problem I agree with anak_ponti, you are the best.

it's always nice to have more freedom when building your houses. like in this case being able to use any wall and apply kickmouldings anytime you like. is there a chance that you will also make sometime like this with woodpanels (if that is the right word) that go up to half of the wall?

my computer crashed big time [ nothing to do with the sims2].... the first thing i did was put my sims 2 back on ...it is sooooooo empty....and then i came looking for your moldings...they work great and look great....i wouldnt even play my game if it were not for your creations and know how....i really want to thank you for sharing your great talents...now, im off to get the cep...catstale

I recently saw other molding like this somewhere else but I cant remember. I did want to mention though that that set also had 3d wainscotting. You guys plan on making those too? Or gonna leave that to the wallpapers?
