Re: [OPEN] Several Windows with Cut-Out Issues

The windows and doors from Get together, Realm of Magic and Vampires, are extremely broken. Above all, it concerns the small windows that get a crack when placed, so strong that you can see through.

    @Hoppel785 great catch! There were posts saying that only some windows (non-cc) from the GT pack were broken, but you have found more. Thanks for posting this.

    Thank you for your answer @InfiniteVerve. I'm slowly despairing, the construction mode has become a disaster. I have a booth by doing all my houses are placed, half of the houses have become unusable due to the broken windows. 

  • The Greatest Craftsman (Rounded) from Seasons EP also has a cutout issue, seen when walking through the door. The curved part of the frame is not cut around.

    Could anyone check the windows to see if anything was done about them ?
  • The door and window from the Get Together expansion pack are working again in my game. Several of the base game windows have gaps above them. The gap is only visible from the inside. The window in the picture is the "Almost Secure Safety window" but it also happens with the Octopane and Kitty Corner Casement.

    Today is december 8 and im having the same issue with my windows. A gap appears above it as if the window were shorter than the hole. Brought the game last week, already dissapointed by seeing that this is real since September... Unfortunately ive already played more than 2 hours and may not refund it.

    Months later and it's still an issue with some windows. I just went through all of them (I'm only missing Batuu for packs) and with or without mods installed, it's the same. Discover University, Cats + Dogs, Get Together, Get to Work, Realm of Magic, Spa Day and Moschino all had windows with bad cut outs and/or "scratches". The very worst one is Porthole Peeper, that one looks like someone was trying to chop the window out of the wall with an ax.

    I'm jumping in to add that I just discovered this issue in my game with the Almost Secure Safety Window and Octopane from Base Game. I've not been actively playing for a few months now but I know that the last time I played the house with these windows in, their cutouts were correct.

    I seems as though whatever method the studio is using to create these cutouts now, it's calculating the hole from whichever side of the window has the chunkiest/ thickest frames instead of the thinnest.

    I've added some screenshots of my own just for good measure.
