Can't place windows next to each other anymore

Not sure if it was because of the latest update, but I can no longer place windows right next to each other. It requires me to have space between them now and they snap to positions. The ones I was trying to place next to each other were Geto to Work's Shantilly Framed Windows. They worked before, but not anymore.

Is there a fix or a setting? Or is this a messup due to the update?

    @stormsaiHello!  I tested this as well and I was able to place those windows next to each other.  If there are no obstructions as @jpkarlsen suggested, maybe also double check the grid where you're placing the windows.  In order for them to sit next to each other, they must be placed within the solid lines.  If they are placed within the dotted lines, there will be space in between.  This is a limitation of the game and is true for any windows or doors that can be placed next to each other.

    Notice the arrow below the window is pointing to the solid line.  These windows are between the dotted lines.

    Here the windows are placed between the solid lines and the arrow is pointing to a dotted line.

    I don't see any problem with them. Examine the wall to see if there is something that blocks the placement including stuff on the floor directly in front of where you want to place them.

    Oh, thanks! I guess in the past I must have just put stuff within the grid lines without realizing! 😞

    @stormsaiYou're welcome!  I find this limitation very frustrating at times.  Depending on the length of the wall, the windows / doors sometimes would just look better in the "half" position.

    @stormsaiIt doesn't hurt to ask.  You might want to start a new thread in the General Discussion and Feedback, though.  If you want to do that, put [Feedback] or [Suggestion] in the subject line so it's more visible for the devs.
