Adding friezes - a nightmare?

Is it only me that never became a good friend of friezes in this game?

Whenever I use them, you know those friezes to be added top of outdoor wall, they will also end up on some inner walls where I don't want them to be. If I use sledge hammer tool to remove those indoors, also the outdoors friezes will be deleted for that section of the house.

I realize that it might be safer to add them when the whle house is just one big scale and no inner rooms are created, but when building a staircase room they might appear anyway. With friezes indoors I can't add doors...

Is there a smart trick to contrle them? Can I delete or add them  just one tile at the time, like we can with fences and walls) or is the only way to just trying to ignore that they appear inside the huse where you don't want them to be? Ending up fully avoiding them, which is a shame.

    ^ this

    also if you hold down shift as you are placing friezes, wall trims etc. you can add them wall by wall :) though that too doesn't really function when rooms don't register 😅 

  • Solved. I learned that it is indeed possible to delete the indoor friezes tile by tile IF pressing SHIFT while using the sledgehammer. This made my day :)

    Thanks, I'll check it. I always had problems with this feature so I did not even think it might be bug related. Other build issues I had in the past turned out to be more or less solved by build in a specific way/order.

    Thanks. I noticed the staircase room is registered as no room at all, but when I separated it from the outher wall with a 1 tile wide room, the stair case room is still not defined as a room. I always "delete floor" of the stairs room, maybe that is causing the trouble. I might just skip friezes for this house...

  • Hmmm... the only time I end up with friezes indoors is if a room hasn't properly been created as a room. They cannot be added per tile as far as I am aware, but always per room. Generally, if the house has been built 'properly' they will just automatically appear on the outside only, but if a wall or room has been 'broken' in some way then they will leak into the inside. The same for the exterior trims too.

    Maybe check that your rooms are registering properly as rooms. If you click on a room and see the complete outline appear for it, then it should be fine.
