I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this, but in this image showing off the terrain tools the roof looks completely flat. It doesn't seem to be in an angle at all, not even the lowest option. Also, it doesn't seem to be made out of low fences but actual roofs since you can see the glass. Are we getting completely flat glass roofs besides the terrain tools in the next patch?https://simsvip.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/1.jpg

It doesn't look flat to me. If you look closely at the back of the house you can see a bit of the glass sticking out where it wouldn't be if it were flat.

All someone would have to do for a flat glass roof is apply the roof pattern directly to the ceiling of the top floor without adding a roof. I've don it before.

I have just tried it again now just in case they added this option in a recent patch and I missed it but it wasn't the case as it didn't work either.

That roof isn't flat. There's a roof top but it's almost invisible from that angle. But you can see a thin line.

Yes, I think you're right, that grey line just above the palm tree on the left. Slight hint of other faint lines not showing up much because of the build view. Pity though.

You could still hope as any Patch or Expansion additions would be embargoed at the moment.

I noticed that straight away when they were uploading the hints. I did ask about it on Twitter but no one replied, so I can't say for sure, to me it looks flat.

Not right now :/

I meant this type of flat roof already in the game!
I see now, I to would like proper flat roofs but find this a temporary fix

I must have remembered wrong. Sorry.
