Help Manipulating Friezes

I have a really hard time manipulating friezes when I build or modify existing builds. In this example (Vlad's house), for some reason the external frieze continued into the interior of the house. When I try to delete the interior part, the exterior part disappears. When I try to add it to the gap on the interior part, it adds it to the inside of the red room instead of the outside. When I try to delete the interior walls the frieze is on, it creates new problems I'm not willing to deal with.

Does anyone have any suggestions, either for this specific issue or for working with friezes in general? Thank you! :)
  • The frieze will follow the room. For friezes that show up on the inside of the room, make sure the room is counted as a closed off room.

    You can also make small rooms, 1X1 tile, attached to the room with the inner frieze, and piece by piece remove the frieze that way, then demolish the temporary walls.

    Actually, that little piece of fence is the problem here. The game acts all weird when you use fences or half walls on indoor rooms. If you replace the fence with a full wall and then add one of the big open windows from the basegame mission style set, the frieze problem should be solved. And the room will still look mostly similar to what it was. The open windows from cats and dogs are also a good alternative, but less fitting for the style of this build.
    This issue is one of the main reasons I rarely use friezes. I had to get very creative when I rebuilt the Von Haunt Estate, as I did use friezes there and lots of fences for the museum look.
  • See my signature. Wait. Mobile doesn’t show them.

    Hold shift while placing or deleting friezes to do on wall at a time.
  • ugh also have this problem so many times and its the most annoying thing

    I wish they just let us assign frieze by wall instead of room nonsense

    @Auroraskies @MDianaSims @Metaphasic @Simmingal Thanks so much for your help! I agree, doing it by wall makes so much more sense. Holding Shift is a terrific hint!
