In game building or play, the doors and archways should "hide" when in walls cutaway view or walls down view but they do not.
This is a new issue for me (in the last week or so) and does not change when mods are removed/not used. I have also completed a game repair and see this in multiple homes and saves.
Some homes have odd cutaways in the walls that look like a blank V shape in sections where there would normally be wall, particularly a problem in homes and apartments.
Currently in cutaway mode but is the same in walls down mode...
Here is an example with weird V cutouts in walls and doors up in cutaway view.
Again, this happens in all games/homes/saves. This is with and without any mods/cc. Game repair complete. Seeking solutions. This doesn't appear to be a placement issue since the placement is different around all games.
I am a mac user with 32 gigs of ram and a 2 tb hard drive so the machine isn't the issue IMO. My software engineer husband believes this is a rendering issue, potentially base game or a rendering issue caused by a conflict with the video card. He believes only the game makers can fix this. Since it has not been a previous problem, it can't be my video card or graphics card causing the rendering issue. Both drivers are up to date as well but if you can check that on yours just in case. If a video card driver update fixes this for you, please post.
Please make all replies kind. If you can't be kind, scroll on by with thanks. 🙂
What I want to say: Maybe only a few doors have this issue 🤔
- merrysimmaker3 years agoSeasoned Veteran@666_Carbide_666 I'm not finding it to be a few doors. I've used several different doors and archways. You can see in the last screenshot that is an apartment door that can't be changed. These are lots I've created custom or lots that are premade within the game and the doors are original. It's a weird issue that I've never seen before. It makes game play difficult.
- 3 years ago@mrstank30 I found the Bug report, this is for Apartments. Maybe you can click "mee too"

There doesn't appear to be a solution. I'm investigating multiple lots and found several that were made prior to the most recent updates that the doors stay down. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it other than that. Unfortunately no fix in either of the threads (there is a second one for the wall cut out)...there is a work around mentioned using tool to shrink the doors but I don't use tool at all.
