Re: Window placement problem

★★★ Novice

I know this is very late, but for future players who encounter this issue, the problem is that you cannot just press L1/R1 to switch placement modes with a window type selected, like you can with floors and walls. You have to switch before you even select the window size, as can be seen in the attached images. L1/R1 still works here, so long as you do not have a window selected.

@ThatGirlJemmaXo May i ask how to undo it since the nifty knitting has been uploaded? It isn’t working and i am very frustrated with my game. As of this, i cannot play the sims until i have fixed this.

This problem is still happening and it's annoying if you guys ask so much money for a small expansion pack,  you guys should have fixed it by now,  but still not fixed

When trying to place a window in build mode game places two windows and at a wide separation. Even on other sides of a house. It has stopped gameplay from building or changing

Did you make sure you don’t have placing windows by room on?

 

Are you having the bug where that toggle is stuck or only works before choosing a window?
