Re: [FIXED] [CL] [ECO] [DU] [FR] Doors in App./Dorms stay visible on lowering walls

@Keijra Seems this is the same issue apartments have: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-CL-Apartements-Cutaway-view-shows-other-Apartement-Doors/m-p/11671632#M221632 (minus the cutaway as there's no neighbors)

Keeping separate for now.

Since the door issue might actually be unrelated to the cutaway issue, I split it to it's own thread.

If you have the cutaway issue, please use this thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/CL-San-Myshuno-Apartment-Walls/td-p/11671632

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. 🙂

@mrstank30Shrink the doors......

You are perfect, i have an idea😃

I tried something for you. I was in Build mode, in an apartment with the "bugged" doors.

Then I grabbed a door, and shrinked it by pressing "\" on my Keyboard.

The door is small, but the hole in the wall have the original size, so Sims can go through the small door.

This work without mods. But the bad thing is, it only works for the doors inside of the apartment, not the front door. But better than nothing at this moment.

I didn't know your keyboard layout, so maybe you have to press another key to shrink the door .

I attached 2 Photos.

I'm having the same issue, in both apartments and rental residential lots also, all i can play in are normal residential lots bc the doors are driving me insane.

I don't think it's due to being an apartment or rental. I think it's because the wall is connected to outer walls.

This lot was never an rental but the doors stay visible, which I think is due to their location, ie being on a wall that connects to the outside walls. As it shows the bathroom door is visible in the screenshot that shows the walls down. It was also always a tiny lot.

No, the issue mentioned in this thread has nothing to do with the door placement and the wall being connected. The issue affects all the doors regardless of where they are placed on the wall, not just one or two doors. This issue is specific to lot types such as apartments, dorms and now rentals and it does not affect plain residential builds.

@AmeliaTorn 

Your only post on this form was to attack my answer and tell me the issue is not in my build! All you had to do was look at the last screenshot of the upload and you can clearly see the bathroom door in the walls down screenshot that the game takes on every lot that is saved to the gallery or library.
