S4Studio now has a batch fix for Custom Windows and Doors.
I cannot link the tool here as it's a third party tool and is not supported by EA. You'll be using at your own risk
Backup your saves and you custom content before attempting the fix
This is for all CC. Some of the creators also have already updated them. EA is not going to revert any changes they made or fix any CC Windows.
There are also a few problems with EA Windows/Doors. Those ARE bugs and need to be fixed by EA.
See the following links and me too or post there

@Cilfie Yes, CC windows are broken. Has to do with the changes they made to the window placement.
CC creators will need to fix this or maybe S4Studio will make a batch fix for this.
Currently you can just wait.
EDIT
If you're seeing this on any game windows, please use this thread
For doors:

I'm absolutely livid over this

I have the same problem. I didn’t even want to stack windows! I wanted my custom windows. For every “bug” the sims team fixes, they create two more.

I am having the same issue as well
