“Your manor is also sure to be the most magnificent with gorgeous stonework and large portcullis gates that encompass the property. Relax in your lavish fortress surrounded by parapet fences, colorful stained glass, SLIM ARROW SLITS and even llama gargoyles.”

HOWEVER...according to the visual catalogue there are no arrow slits.

The only reason I mention this is because the item is advertised on the official Sims 4 blog. Is this an oversight or am I missing something?
For example, If that window on row 2/ 6th from the left is supposed to be one of the notorious "slim arrow slits" does it have a swatch without the ornate window details -no glass, just open? I'm a confused man indeed.

Indeed that is the arrow slit in question. Long ago plucked from its roots in peasant revolt prevention and readjusted to a quiet life of keeping cold drafts at bay.

Thanks for clearing this up @EA_Cade, much appreciated!

I won't lie, it aches my dark heart to learn that this is the arrow slit in question, although I do think it's a lovely little window. I really hope there's a swatch without the glass. Quiet life?! Hey now...unlike myself, my sims are tough lads and ladies, they're able to deal with a lot more than a bit of a drafty window. For starters, they have to deal with me.

I had 'medieval fortress' in mind - as in- early medieval keeps and tower houses with the romanesque style arrow slits that @FreddyFox1234 mentioned. Anything fancy that came after that can't really be considered a fortress. That's just for good looks, wich is also perfectly fine, don't get me wrong, I absolutely love gothic architecture, very medieval too...I want all of it and more. It's the - fortress / slim arrow slits -part that messes with the mind. I wanted it badly.

I shall have to make an official request for medieval ARROW arrow slits. Fortress-style, not fancy-style. Hopefully we'll get one or two in a future pack or with an SDX drop.

You know what @CAPTAIN_NXR7 that is a very glaring oversight considering they advertised arrow slits.
Those windows just can't be what they mean by arrow slits. The shape is wrong.

Maybe this will become one of those moments like with the Industrial kit, where they showed a window in the promo art that wasn't included in the kit, and people made such a stink that they had to make the window and add it in later?

Hmmm...the industrial kit fiasco, which reminds me of my other concern:
Curved wall support. Yay or nay?
And then I suddenly realised that The Castle Estate Kit Promo ART actually does show round towers with windows, so I'm going to assume that those windows can be placed on curved walls. I'm sure there's nothing to worry about... nothing at all.?‍?
