Missing Window and Door in City Living

Missing Window and Door in City Living

I have recently purchased city living and I have noticed that a window and a door that were meant to be included with the pack are nowhere to be seen in the build/buy menu. I was just wondering is there anyone that might a have an answer to my issue. x

(The window is the industrial looking window that you can see in the pre-built penthouse named the "fountain-view penthouse" in the arts neighborhood)

  • @Simpxly I'm assuming that the window you're speaking about is this one, called "The Scattered Panes Enbiggened", and it came with "City Living" according to the icon on the thumbnail of the window, and it's a 'tallest height' window; plus "Frost Your House Tall Double Door" below.

    Edit: Please ignore my explanation below (crossed out part) as I was incorrect. Please refer to the post below that @Bluebellflora made, as she is correct. I was confused by the thumbnail looking like stained glass on the window and door in the sorts. Sorry for any confusion I caused.
    Thank you, Bluebellflora!

     
     
    Unfortunately, in my testing on the lot I am finding that:

    • if you use the 'City Living' sort in windows & doors, it does not come up
    • if you use the 'tallest height' windows & door sort, it does not come up
    • if you use the 'all' windows & doors sort, it does not come up

    The only I found way to see the window and door in build mode items/windows is by using the eyedropper tool to select it, which I assume is an oversight. I will ask a few others to test this to confirm they see what I see. In the mean time, that seems to be the only way to duplicate this window and door - by copying from the ones that are on the wall, or via your library as follows:

    If you want the window for another lot you could save a room to your library from within this penthouse/lot with that window and door and place it on another lot and duplicate the window and door from that room as a workaround for now. Keep in mind that you will need to have a tallest height wall to accommodate this window and/or door, though.

    If you still can't see it after @SheriGR's suggestions please try a game repair by right clicking on the game in your Origin games library and selecting repair game. Then filter by City Living pack items and look in the relevant window size.

    Edited to add - the window is a different swatch of the Scattered Panes Embiggened:

  • Does someone still have the problem? Or does someone know how to solve it?

    @Fairyy0 Please see @Bluebellflora's suggestion that you should do a game repair if you cannot find it by looking in the area she mentioned... go to the window named "Scattered Panes" and look under it's color options pop-up choices. You should find it there. There is a helpful screenshot in Flora's post/comment here. (Note that ie's under the tallest wall-type window options).
