@Jessabeans - That was a typo! It was supposed to say NOT being a CAW builder, not NOW. Sorry! I played with CAW a couple times and each time I removed the program, I lost the games I had played whiled it was installed. It apparently works just like an EP or SP. If you played a game with it, then you can't play a game without it. I think CAP worked the same way. (At one time I liked to make patterns to have my sim paint. Then the painting wouldn't be cc. But when I removed CAP, all the games I had played with it installed would not open any more.) So, I don't do either.
I'll be in the minority and say I don't like the rounded top on the story book windows for side windows, or in the case of our view, the front or back. I like when the windows mimic the shape of the build, so these would be great shapes for the ends where they'd mimic the top slope. But you don't see that slope from the sides. Of course, if the big storybook window had two smaller windows on each side of it, then that would make an interesting look; but not the look we are going for.
I had tried to place the higher windows from the lower elevation outside, but where ever you have floor tile, you'll have an invisible tile outlined next to it. So, the windows kept jumping to their normal spot. I'll try to delete the floor tile on the outer edge, and see if I can then get the window to place lower. BUT, often times, when you place windows where they don't really go, they'll not hold in place on upload and download. Sometimes grabbing and releasing will put them where you want. But, I'm not sure. I'll have to play with that some more.
@romagi1 - Which wallpaper choice are you using? I wasn't get the same look in my game. I am playing with these patterns on an already built train that probably has different friezes than yours. So, that might be the reason I am having problems recreating the look.
Oh, and I meant to say, you are a genius @Jessabeans !!!
