BUG: curtain placement

After the update today, I am unable to place Drapes de Rigeur, from the Vanpires pack on angled walls. It now gives me the message, “must be placed on wall.” Nothing is intersecting.
  • I can no longer place mirrors on diagonal walls with the same 'must be placed on a room wall' message.
  • Apparently that goes for a lot of decorations currently.

    /I didn't dream we could do that previously, did I?
  • I'm seeing random items disappear and not fun when they were debug items cos i have to go find them again, i've mentioned this but i don't know if when you try to play any windows or doors next to each other the first starting in the middle of a Grid Square the next one doesn't work out so well and it gets covered by the wall, Is this supposed to happen? or Is it a bug?.

    No, you didn't dream it.

    This is by design. It has to do with the fact the not more than one window can occupy a single tile, unfortunately. So you can't scoot two adjacent windows a half-tile to the right or left.

    Well that blows they should fix that so we can place the windows and doors anywhere hopefully some time in the future *crosses fingers* we could place them anywhere on the wall in The Sims 2 so Why not in The Sims 4? strange choice to make.
