Only some curtains display in some windows

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.95.207.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? N/A
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Look at how the curtains display
What happens when the bug occurs? Only a few curtains/blinds display in some windows
What do you expect to see? All curtains and blinds displaying properly.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes

Can anyone tell me what is happening with these blinds? When playing as this household, all of the blinds appear in the windows correctly:

But when playing as a different household, only a few of the blinds display:

These are CC blinds but i've noticed it happening with a few other curtains as well.

  • @Brd709 Could you post exactly which non-cc curtains give issues ?

    Also I've uploaded your pics to AHQ to display. BBCode doesn't work at AHQ as it's HTML here unlike the forum. You can just add pics by clicking on the picture icon in the tool bar and upload though,

    It appears to be on select curtains not just CC. It's happening in this house as well. Studious Shades are in the windows by the stairs here. Again, they show as placed when playing as that household but don't show by the window nearest to the stairs when playing as another:

    @Brd709 Ok, then that's not it

    Would be great if you could post some names of windows/curtains that do it for you (non-cc) for easier checking.

    I took a look at this in both my main save where I play with mods and CC and in a vanilla test game with no mods or CC.  I don't use CC windows, but I do use a bunch of CC curtains.  In both saves, I had no problems seeing the curtains. game or CC, through the windows in either build or live mode.  So, I could not replicate what you have happening. 

    But I don't have the windows or blinds I see in your pics.  My gut feeling is that the issue is CC related.  So, it could be either the CC windows or the CC curtains/blinds or a combination of the two causing it to happen.  It could be that one or the other is causing a clipping issue preventing both from being seen.  It could also be MOO related if you used MOO to place either the windows or curtains as well.  The curtains you mentioned not showing next to the stairs could very well be MOO related as to get many curtains to place next to stairs or in stairwells, you have to use MOO.  But, tbh, I just don't know.  

    Have you tried to replicate the problem in a vanilla save with no CC or mods present?  If it doesn't happen in a mod/CC save, then that's a sign that it is CC related.

    Hope this helps.

    I just removed the CC blinds from my game that are in post #1 and some curtains and blinds are still not showing up in game when not as that household.

    Just curious but which curtains and blinds are not showing up?  Like I said earlier, I found no display issues with the game curtains when I tested.  I didn't test all of them, but I did test a wide selection and I could see them through the windows when I visited the lot.  I tested both with and without entering the lot.  And I even zoomed around the zone looking at the other lots to see if I could see the curtains in those houses.  I could see the curtains everywhere I looked.

    One thing about CC that I have noticed is that sometimes, a CC item will affect the game item used as its base object in negative ways.  And older CC items will do that if the game object used as its base was updated by the devs later on.  In that case, the CC item can stop working at all or do weird things.  

    Have you tried looking creating a save with no CC or mods in it to see if you have the issue there?

    Hope this helps.

    The curtains turned out to be custom content related. I deleted all the CC windows and placed them again and the curtains showed up as they should on non played households!
