Help with wall sidings

Hi I am working on my house and I am facing a little issue with the outside paint. I am using the wall siding where you got wood going horizotal and the end there is one vertical piece which is supposed on the corner. I would post a picture but I haven't been on the forum long enough apparently.

Anyway I am encountering an issue that sometimes when I reach the corners the game does not put that vertical piece there and it's rather frustrating. So I am wondering do you guys know how to do it? I just started and I simply can't find a button for it and when I google all I find is build guides for sims 3 :/

  • Yeb using the right siding. It's making the siding on the left side but not the right one on the bottom floor. I think it's because I have a room close to the edge so it's bugging it out or something.

    The floor above is just a simple square and there the siding comes on all 4 corners.

    Yeah precicely. It's like 1 corner, all other corners are just fine but this one corner just refuses to have a siding and it's just ruining the look of the house :(
    I just can't find any button or anything for just doing one tile with just the end, it's infuriating. And I tried movin away the little room near the edge and fix the wall but when I pu the room back it automaticly takes away that siding also.
    The little room is like 1 tile away from the end.
  • I had this issue too and there is a really simple solution. Move the room that is causing the issue a couple tiles away and then paint the room.

    Or...paint the base of the house before you make any additions.

    I'd really like a way to turn that auto placement off. It's a pain in the rear.
  • Yeah more than a box :)
    I'm upgrading and changing a house that came with the game. The lot name is "Streamlet Single" it's in the cheap district of Willow's Creek. I added an upper floor to it and opened up the kitchen into the livingroom. Else I haven't changed the floor and even closing off the kitchen agian does not change this. Other than opening the kitchen and placing a stair near the front door I haven't changed the bottom floor.

    The issue is happening at the back right wall of the main box (not the kitchen box) where the wall has a corner, then goes forward one tile and takes a right turn into the kitchen.
    It's on this corner where it's refusing to show the siding.
    Hold on gonna try figure out a way to upload a picture of this.

    this should link to it.
    You can see the issue on the back wall on the first floor and near the front on the upper one where it lines up with the porch cover.
  • Hey so I know this is old but I think I figured out the issue. Say you have a square house in Sims than is 10x10 it will color the corners correctly but if you add say a 1x3 piece to the side it won't work because the game for lack of better explanation doesn't have "room" for that end piece. At least this is what I am assuming from what I've found out. I hope this helps. :)
  • Hi there.

    So ... I realize this post is super old now but i just found it myself looking for an answer. This isn't a fix per say, but they have made it so you can put pillars on the corners/set into the wall. So if, for arcitectual interest your trying to put an end piece on a 1x1 box, try using the Experienced Pillar on the corner. It actually stands out more than the end piece paint would.

    Hope this helps anyone looking at this recently.

    Cheers
