Picture showing the blue ceiling above the curved walls.At first I thought I was seeing the sky, but I can't see trees or objects that I placed next to the room. I don't think it's an actual gap, just the wrong color for some reason. Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title

Create a ceiling if it doesn't have already. 3. Paint the ceiling. 4. Place a new floor above it, or create a room above it. The floor above has to also have a rounded corner that is the same size as the one below. Essentially just copy paste the ground room/porch above.What happens when the bug occurs? The rounded corners of the ceiling are white and cannot be painted. Doing so only causes the floor tiles in the rounded corner below to change.What do you expect to see? The whole ceiling should be painted, rounded corners included, just like it is when you do not have an upper floor.Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? YesPlease describe the patch or change you made. The most recent patch from July 19th 2023, which added paintable ceilings in to the game.Example (taken in the base game lot "Parkshore" in Willow Creek):I was not able to paint that corner.One on the right has a floor above it.One of the left does not.Results:

Create a curved room and try to paint the ceiling to themWhat happens when the bug occurs? The texture in curved corner of the room looks brighter than the rest of it. Also, if you paint the under ceiling of a floating room, there is no texture for the curved corner.What do you expect to see?

I've removed them.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? YesPlease describe the patch or change you made. 1.99.264.1030 patch, which added paintable ceilingsIf I paint the ceilings of a room with curved corners or a fully circular room, the texture of the curved room appears brighter than the rest of the room only in the curved section.And when I paint the ceiling of a floating room, the texture is missing in the whole curved sectionEven their outside shadows are missing

Unfortunately, the update did not fix the circular rooms. There are still holes in the ceiling. I hope this will be fixed soon.

@bizuktag I tested this and found the same thing you did. It happens in both build and live modes. Another thing I found with it, is that the color of the "blue" area will change depending on time of day i.e. it will look different in the morning than it does at night. So, I'm pretty sure this is not the intended behavior.Hope this helps.

Attempt to edit a ceiling in a rounded room.What happens when the bug occurs? Parts of the ceiling are missing on both sides. It's not possible to edit the full ceiling, even after removing and re-adding it.What do you expect to see? I expect the ceiling to work correctly.Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure I'm editing a lot where one of the buildings is rounded. The ceiling has blue patches on it when seen from below. When I try to edit the ceiling, parts of it are also missing, making it impossible to edit it completely. Removing and re-adding the ceiling to the room, or even scrapping and rebuilding the room from scratch, has the same results.

@mspiegelaar in a word...aargh! Yes I do I've got a cross shaped ceiling. I also get gaps around the floor. I've given up trying to add a ceiling to my castle tower. I found a bug report here:

If you want to go to page 1 and click Me Too on the first post on the thread and add a reply if you'd like to do so you should be prompted with a bug report form to fill in. Any questions just ask.
I'm adding my bug report to it later when I've taken images of my holey tower ceiling!

Did anyone get this problem fixed yet? Cause my ceiling is still missing when it’s around the curved walls. 💀 So like it’s triggering my OCD so much that I literally had to pretend it’s not there (especially when playing first person).

I'm also having issues with painting my round ceilings. I can paint them without a platform but I can't paint them with a platform. I don't want to get rid of it because I have specific plans for that platform and I need it for aesthetics.
I'm trying to build a seedy diner and it's really annoying me that I cannot paint this one tiny section!! Grr!
