[BH] Shimmer by QWIRL lamp has a wrong footprint

The Shimmer by QWIRL lamp from Business & Hobbies seems to have a wrong footprint: even if it's small, placing it on a table make it impossible for Sims to eat there, as the lamp seems to take-up all the room. It can be seen when placing the object (compared to a similar lamp from Lovestruck that doesn't block Sims from using the table):

I haven't seen a collection thread for this kind of issues, so I'm posting a separate topic.

  • What is the point of this new tagging ? I mean, the issue is here, it's easy to notice and to fix. I did it as a mod and it took me 1 minute. People shouldn't have to rely on having tons of people reporting an issue for it to be fixed.

    That's really worrying about the current effort put into fixing issues. There is a real management issue behind that, limiting the resources allotted to fixing a game that currently have so many small issues, and requiring each issue to be reported by many people even if they really exist give the upper hand to people with more following to beg their followers to vote on their issues. It's not fair for people that spend time in their game, noticing issues and taking time to report them in full detail, for free (and having paid for this game.).

    I have the same problem in my game, if I place the Shimmer by QWIRL lamp on a table, the table is unusable to my Sims. I placed only one table with this lamp in my Sims house and when to do her homework, she opted for the floor. Once I put the lamp on the floor instead, she used the chair and table every time.

    I also totally agree with your sentiment, Down-in-Simsland, I also had a bug report swapped to this "awaiting additional reports" and am able to replicate the bug in new saves. As you said, mods can be used to fix many issues, and I'm sure I could use a mod to fix my issue as well, but it is frustrating to spend the time reporting and testing the issue and being sent to this new category. Thank you for reporting the bugs you see and making fixes. Here is hoping the bug fix team will be able to sort quickly through these new categories and assist us.
