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

It is not only in dorms and apartments, it happens on "normal" residential lots too.

Archways are also an offender. ☹️

    hey @Karottenkeks84 (cool name btw)

    The door issue you are having might be placement related, because other doors on your lot seem to be still visible.

    You can try to move the doors one tile to the left or right or try a different door. You could also try extending the roomarea around the front door to the left.

    I've had this too with some doors, especially when they are close to wall corners or placed mid-tile. The soltution is not optimal and I wish doors wouldn't do that, but this one might be fixable.

    Having the same issues in  Apartments and Penthouses (Pinecrest Apartments in Evergreen Harbor and Fountainview Penthouse in San Myshuno. 

    For those who haven't read through all the answers, there are currently two workarounds.

    • You can decrease the size of the door either with pressing [ on your keyboard
      • this is for English/QWERTY keyboards, if you have a different keyboard, it might be a different key
    • Use T.O.O.L. mod to scale down the door to 0.1

    For both workarounds you will see a tiny door frame, but the doors are still usable and they won't block your view anymore. 

    !!Keep in mind, the doors will be tiny then ALL the time, and might only be helpful for inside doors. 

    Anyways, hope this helps. Also, feel free to copy the workaround if we get a new page on this thread

    @OkayLazySimMy game glitches out when I try this so it does not work as a workaround for me. But it is hard to tell what is the cause of all the various errors that keep happening so I have tried to play with no changes to help narrow it all down (with and without basic mods). I can't make this change without errors or glitches but it also happens with MOO (even when items aren't in the way) so it's really hard to determine the actual cause. I wish we had a way to send in short videos of the errors and talk to an actual EA help agent and fix these things but unfortunately I think they are caused by errors in the overall game code that is not fixable by us. It is a bummer and I wish so much that EA would dedicate a team to working through these issues that are such a plague in the game.

    I have noticed that in my game it helps if I move them slightly, but in apartments in City Living it does not help at all; the doors keep being visible. I can't play there any more because of that, and it's so irritating. ☹️
