Certain wall swatches don't display corner accents properly

I've noticed that there are certain brick and siding options (Ex. "Brooding Brick Pattern with Corner Accent" from Vampires, or "Clapboard Crush" from BG, the $5 with white corner, not the $4) that do not put the corner accents on all corners unless it's a basic box. Basic 4 side box is fine, but once you put a bump out, they no longer get corner accents. Not all corner accent swatches are like this, only some. Like, "Scully's Office" and "Suspiciously Unremarkable" from BG work. "Sinister Stones with Corner Accent" from Life & Death works. But others don't. Even "The Brickery Elite with Wood Trim" from BG works.

Attachments are of swatches specifically mentioned above, but the issue is across multiple packs.

    Could you please provide the following information

    -  Are you using mods/cc in your game ? Please remove them and test without them if you do.
    -  What platform are you playing on (PC, Mac, Playstation, XBox)

    Yes I play with Mods. First thing I did was remove them and try again, and it still does it. And I'm on PC.

    Like I said, some swatches with corner accents are fine. But others aren't, and it's across all packs.

    This issue has been there since the start of the game, so maybe a bug report exists somewhere already.

    For multiple wall patters that have this vertical edge part, it is not applied correctly on corners when the wall is only 1 piece wide. I would expect it on all outer corners.

    As you can see on my house here, it does work as intended on the first floor but not on the bottom floor on either side of the door.

    From the other angle one white piece is applied on an inner corner but only on the right side, not the left side

    here is another example

    This has always bugged me! It's inconsistent no matter how you place the wall pattern by whole room or single tile the edging always goes wonky 🙄

    I wish they would give us decals to place on both inner and outer corners and call it a day. I never use those wallpapers because the corners never align right.

    I see my post got moved to feedback and ideas, but I found the bug report on it:

    I've noticed this too. I sometimes use a basic square column instead of those wallpapers so I can add vertical wall trims to the exterior of the house myself and line them up properly. It needs the move objects cheat in some instances, but I'm a bit happier with the aesthetics. I wish they could reach to the foundation level though...which is another pet peeve!
