Re: [OPEN] Graphic Glitch with Curved Platforms

Still experiencing this issue in July of 2021. Every time 100%. Sims 4 PC 64bit, no mods, half of the available expansions.

Happens with rounded platforms and with rounded foundations. It's almost as if the game needs to recognize that the rounded spot is above floor tile below it rather than intersecting it. I understand that the game recognizes the footprint as having points when it should meet rounded, but I'm sure it's difficult to input rounded edges, hence the issue. I only wish it didn't remove tiles underneath it or prevent terrain tools from painting it. There's no filling in the gap, as these triangles extending from the footprint act as part of the rounded piece, omitting any modification of these triangles. At least make them function as ground and not just dead space? I don't know, it's just frustrating and ugly. There's plenty of photos in other posts that perfectly display the issue, so I won't bother with posting any. Would be great if I could bb.moveobjects an item to fill the space, but the items don't stay on base level if the rounded platform/foundation is higher and instead jump on top of it. Ugh. I need either a good work around or a patch, I'm losing my mind with this!!

    This one is really annoying it does my head in, I really want to make rounded platform stairs. Oh well I for one will just keep replying and be patient. Hopefully if we all work together and communicate frequently we'd grab the attention of the EA team and who knows they might already be working on it, sadly these things are more complex than a simple bug. We got the mirror glitch laundry listed and that took us over 9 months.

    I remember the mirror glitch VERY well and how long it took to get addressed lol. I'm REALLY hoping that the curved platforms and walls get addressed quicker than the mirror problem. I was also hoping that we'd be able to line up stairs against curved walls (Like you see in luxurious mansions at the entranceway) 

    I'm glad you got it figured out but I do hope that these issues still get fixed so we don't have to build a certain way just to get around the glitches. I would like to be able to build without experiencing any problems no matter the height of a platform or floors etc.
