What is "off the grid" windows?

I saw speculation that "off the grid windows" is coming. What on earth does that mean? They run without electricity? You don't have to pay bills for them?

    The same window as a 3 tile object rather than a 2 tile. Idk how to phrase it. xD


    Haa. No I don't think so. But we're very close to the livestream, I'm sure the gurus will show it there if it's coming ;)

    You can center a 2 tile window on 3 tile wall segment. You can see in this picture same window placed on both 2 and tiles wall.

    Can‘t we already do this with MOO? I wish they would give us something more exiting, e.g. sims opening and closing windows.


    No we can't. And if you try to move windows with moo the wall will get the cut out of where the window was suppose to be and the actual window will show the wall where the glass is suppose to be, all glitched out.

    And what's the point of opening and closing windows in the sims? How is that even more exiting? xD




    Because it's about life. I thought we had cheats in all the games to set things off the grid line a quarter or so. I guess TS4 doesn't have that cheat, or feature yet. But animated windows is the future.. :D Wind blows through and messes up the room during a storm. That might be more fun to me than moving a window a hair off the grid. Just make a smaller window version, Maxis, with a one tile footprint.
