Indoor shoe rules not working throughout whole house?

Is anyone else having this problem? I just downloaded Snowy Escape. One of the little things I was excited about was having sims take off their shoes when coming indoors. But it looks like the progr...

    I haven't used the shoe rack before other than earlier today when I tried it out for a bit.   I didn't have any troubles with it though so far.   I wonder if the location may be causing it or maybe even the type of rooms.   We had one house built where when trying to do a bay window it screwed up a room so the room was recognized as outdoors even though it was all enclosed and still a room.  Is it certain rooms that cause the problem?   I think with signs you get a "Follow house footwear rule" or something like that when your sim is breaking the rules.  It probably is the same for shoe racks.    If one of your sims swaps back to shoes in a room and that option isn't available when you click on that sim it makes me think the game is recognizing that room as outdoors for some reason.   

    If you want, you could share the lot (not the sims, just the lot) on the gallery and I could test it out and see if I can figure out why in one of our saves.  I'm curious if it has the same thing going on in a room that we ran into where a room was treated like it was outdoors.

Okay you were definitely on to something with the room being recognized as outdoors. I just loaded the Commodious Residence lot in the winter and there's snow in the front room... Yep, the room in build mode was not recognized as a room. It has a bay window. Come to think of it, I was building a house with a bay window just the other day and having this problem - it wouldn't recognize the room if I drew the walls individually; I had to create a square room then pop out the bay window separately. Says a lot that even EA makes this error with their own design tool...

I wouldn't have noticed with the Zen View apartment because, as an apartment, it wouldn't have snowed inside regardless.
