Curved walls coming?

I don't think we will get curved walls, because if we did, they would have used curved walls on a lot more builds with this pack. I've not studied the subject, but I read about possible curved wall on just one - ONE - building?

Yeah, the creators they got for the Snowy Escape builds went absolutely overboard with platforms, often just for the sake of platforms rather than for the good of the design itself, so it's a bit odd more haven't shown up. Unless it is a more recent addition that the creators weren't able to use.

However, at this point, I'm guessing it can go either way at this point if we have them in game, though I'm thinking they are going to be a thing based on what we've seen so far.

If it is in game, I'm guessing windows will be like columns and only some can be placed on a curved wall (like how only some columns can be extended). I'm guessing it will be like curved fences, and we just replace the curved side. Though I do wonder how well wall textures will work on the curved walls, and if there will be curved half walls.

I thought so too, but they hide things sometimes. For example, there was no sign of terrain tools in GF reveal trailer.

It might not be them hiding things, but more that these things are buggy and don't work properly until closer to release than when the trailers are made.

Community builders on packs probably find a lot more bugs than Gurus because they are more likely to push build tools to their limits and use them in unusual ways.

No, not yet.


Because if it was the case, Maxis would be proud to show them like they did for the platform in Snowy Escape trailer.

Then what about the curved walls on the world map leak at the active lot?

It's one of the most wanted BB feature, I see no reason to hide it.

But you can clearly see that house from the leaked screenshot in this world map

They are coming as curved rooms.

Windows and doors curve to fit too.

Ohhh nice! I had to jump up from my desk and missed that

I got a bit distracted but if I heard correctly all current windows and doors from Maxis will curve to fit.

There was so much stuff they presented I almost forgot about the curved walls and I was really taken by surprise when I saw them. :lol: They look so pretty. But did everyone see the big school parking lot?

Also my thread from 2019 where I suggested curved walls has 2.2k views, which is a lot for only 3 replies. It probably got sent around in internal chats at Maxis when they were looking for suggestions of new features. Otherwise I can‘t explain that 2200 people looked at this thread and didn‘t reply nor react.

I think curved walls are coming, otherwise the SimGurus would‘ve already cleared up the rumors and said that the screenshot is fake

Yeah, no, I highly doubt that they added a feature because you, and only you, made a thread about it.

This has been a feature that has been highly requested for literally over a decade. In addition, it is a simple enough concept without needing to forward a forum post to various people internally.

If you pop over to the general discussion tab, you can see plenty of threads where the view count is disproportionately higher than the number of comments.

Chances are, the reason for it is that people were interested enough by the title of the post, but not the content. Or that they got to the post via a search engine, but found that the post isn't what they were looking for, this is very common for older posts too.

For example, skipping back to the last page on the ideas forum, there is this post that has 1.1k views with 0 comments, presumably mostly due to the title leading them to think this is the answer to the query of how to summon a ghost: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/802050/ghost-summoning#latest

Very happy simmer here. :)
With this one feature, I will be busy the whole period when this arrives in the patch.

I need to update all my Art Deco homes.
And I realized I can build my own custom turret for a particular style of homes I created back in TS3.

Plus I have an idea for a custom school I want to build.
