Re: Sims 3 (64 bit and metal) gendered bathroom doors not working

I'm having this problem too :/ 

Problems I noticed :

Guitar don't make any sound when playing for tips

Painting terrain - not too explained because I know that some of you know about that too.

Gender doors

Can't fish at beaches

When painting and pressing shift to paint the entire wall sometimes doesn't work and sometimes the paint don't paint the wall so I choose the same paint again and finally works I can see the paint over the wall. 

I've had trouble painting foundations 

When I choose to edit the style of a fence when I played at windows the fence kinda got bright so I knew that when I would drag the Cast with my color bar it would go to the point of my choice (to the fence) and it would change the fence, now I don't know where it's going to edit since there's no brightness, and I'm not sure of my precision. 

I guess it's just that for now, to be honest I barely played my save ☹️ Sorry if I wasn't clear, english isn't my first language.

    @CherryCherrys  A couple of the issues you listed have existing threads.

    I haven't heard about the guitar not making a sound; does it happen only when playing for tips or also when a sim practices or plays a known song?

    I've had the same problem with the shift key when trying to paint the entire wall, or place floor tiling, but usually when I just stop and try again, it works fine.

    Fencing has always been a little glitchy to work with.  There are ways around it, for example using the eyedropper tool or saving the style and applying it to the sections you want.

    The wall painting after trying again works fine :D and the guitar is muted only for tips, I haven't tested other instruments, Idk if it's a problem but a sim autonomously turned on the radio and it was muted then I switched to the next music and it worked and I could hear the music, I'll test more to see what happens.

    I forgot to mention that

    1. EA's clothes are very ugly in my game, the textures don't look good and I play with textures and sims details on max config, I also tested my grafic options in my boyfriend's pc and the clothes were better and higher quality textured, so it made me think if it's another problem for mac users.There's some with worse and not so worse texture as well but as I care a lot about textures and my sims appearance it bother's don't be able to wear specific clothes of some eps.
