Curved walls coming?

While I think curved walls could be doable, I don't think windows and doors will be able to be placed on them unless they made a special cruved mesh for each and every single window in the game. The current window meshes are flat (or straight rather), if you would put that on a curved wall then the sides would stick out further due to the fact the wall is curved in and not straight.

Here's a quick example I made with some meshes to simulate current straight windows placed on a curved wall. You can see that on the edges they stick out a great deal further.

I also don't think curtains, paintings, or other wall decor will be able to be placed on them, because again, the back side that fits against the wall on all of these wall items is flat.

Here's a video of how you fit a flat window on a curved wall. Also, if you need a wider window then you adjust it's curvature from the wooden frame. In your example you have window panes on two columns, then you need to adjust the window curvature from the wooden post between the two window columns. Anyway, if it's easier for them to create curved windows from a game development perspective, I will be fine with that.

I think this is how current flat windows would fit on the curved walls. The black line is current flat walls and windows, and if we consider one side of the octagon an in game tile, then we could easily fit all single tile windows there without creating new meshes. If we increase the size of the octagon side to two tiles, we might be able to fit two tile windows and so on.

I hope the counters, electronics, large appliances & furniture & doors can fit nicely with the new round walls. ;)

I’m hoping the rounded sectional sofas from DHD will fit the curved walls. I’m also praying that they didn’t forget about the pools. I think that’s where I would use the feature the most.

Hello! Curved wall would be great :)

Don't know how much it will do for my personal builds, I find dealing with boxes hard enough as it is but I look forward to what I could find on the Gallery with this.

If they're doing curved walls, I hope we get spiral staircases as well! How else am I going to build towers with secret hideouts at the top?

That's exciting. Can't wait to see what people build. I definitely wasn't expecting curved walls ever... again, I hope it can also be applied to pools.

get ready for whole gallery going curvy this summer/autumn :lol:

I do wish they added pools cause it be so nice to go with the curvy house

I hope this isn't true because I'm having flashbacks to last time all of the CC doors & windows broke. :neutral:

If they break the CC creators can just update them; thats not an excuse not to get a highly requested feature...

If you look closely you can see that not only is that the only curved wall in the trailer...but it's also not finished. The shadow textures are a bit off and it happens in split second. I definitely think they hid that there on purpose as a tease. Plus removing the blonde girl would make people question it, therefore not having to fully answer any questions.

This looks real to me, it would be pretty much impossible to photoshop something like this.

As someone who uses photo editing software at a professional level I'd have to disagree. There are many clever ways to fake screenshots like this.

Although I'd love curved walls to be a reality in The Sims 4, I'll remain sceptical about this leak until we get official confirmation.
