Re: Why can't I paint ceilings above platforms?

@simsplayer818 Hahaha... so funny, as while you were posting I was also testing this in my game. I found the same issue and addressed it much like you did - where there is no roof over the platform, just a hole. (I did the same fix by adding a room above the opening over the platform on the room above, then deleting it's ceiling and walls and leaving the floor, then I was able to paint the ceiling also... because it was no longer missing/an open hole.) @gertie47 I'm sorry, as this is quite annoying. I'm wondering if it's a bug that should be reported. If I find a bug report on it I'll post here so everyone could add their 'Me Too' and 'XP' to the bug report. 🙌

Edit: I did not find a bug report on this one, but I think it would be a good one to make a bug report on. Please note that I personally always avoid butting a platform up against any wall, because if the platform does not have at least one tile in-between it and a wall, I get issues. My guess is that it's not 'technically' considered a room, though you can upload a platform as a room in the gallery/library. So... you cannot add walls to the platform like a room, etc.

  • @SheriGR I wondered about that as well. I only get a properly filled in ceiling if my platforms are on a ground floor or a lower floor with rooms above it. If it's under a roof for example, I get gaps everywhere.
    It also bothers me they are considered a separate room because I use them to make shelving and window seats. If I add that room to the gallery, it often has bits missing lol. It has chunks taken away because I've had platforms around the sides of it 😕.
    I like them because I can add floor decor and floor cushions to them.

    @simsplayer818 (Note... I added to my reply note above.) I agree... I like the platform option, but I use it with a measure of trepidation and tons of checking for it's temperamental quirks. Also, if it's leaving off the platforms when you upload to the gallery that is really not good! I would encourage you to put together some details on that and make a bug report! 🙌

  • @SheriGR I'll take your advice then and put together some images tomorrow and I'll file a bug report. I've tried wrapping another wall around them too, to try and enclose the whole space but that doesn't work either.

    @simsplayer818 Thank you so much for making the bug report about this 'hole in ceiling' issue! I added my 'Me Too', 'XP' and info to it. I hope this gets addressed soon, as it is rather frustrating. 🙌
