I talked to Mutske yesterday. She does have updated all her sets on TSR. But the revision date (for me) has not changed. But i tried a random one out and it worked. Only the Alma set might have issues. But i tried the Cedar door and arches (the windows i didn't download straight away) and they work. Did the arches that are 3 tiles and bigger work as well? I dont want to redownload if they are still broke. I know quite a few items in the Alma set are not working yet. Did she fix these recently? I think I redownloaded everything again last week.

Sorry about that. I got them mixed up. What I have of mincs works fine. Some of mutskes arches don't work like what memphis said because of the footprint. Again sorry about that.

I have most of mincs stuff. Ive noticed that some 3 tile windows do not work while 4 and 5 tile ones work. Arches are like that too. Mostly the Pilton set. Its just weird.

So as of 9/15/2020 nothing is fixed. An hour's long fight with Sims4Studio fixed several of the rectangular windows but the graceful curved windows and arches are still broken. Either because of burn-out or Covid-19 creators do not seem to be updating their creations or perhaps the 'fix' was so bad they can't. Since cc carries this game it would seem that there might be some slightest sense of urgency but from EA comes a deafening silence. I guess they just did not appreciate the fact that most simmers hated the SW pack. What to do, what to do? Please remember that the S4S team do have regular jobs. They are being nice enough by trying to come up with a fix. EA changed the process in which windows and doors work. They no longer use cutouts but a type of formula. Rectangle and square windows an doors are easier to fix. As for curved, its a lot harder to figure out as they are all not alike. Since its cc that broke, its not up to EA to fix. Its just going to take time. S4S is trying to help the community. They dont have to do anything. So be patient.. it isnt easy.

Hi people, So as you can see in the title, I have some issue regarding some of my CC don't show up in my CAS , but it showed up in the CC list when you start the game. Currently I'm using the 1.63 version of the game. I noticed that the CC that don't show up are the ones that are made few days ago (means newest one). So my question is...Is there any correlation between game version and the new CC being made? Should I update my game to the latest update so the CC will appear? Thank you . If you do not have the mesh, it wont show up in the game.. but it will be in the list. Recolored EA content also wont show if you dont have that piece. Also make sure the cc does not require a certain pack. For example.. if you saw a cas item you liked, be sure it does not require the star wars pack if you do not have it. Im guessing your new cc is from the latest pack if it is fairly new.

Hi ^^ Maybe it is a stupid question but since I dont know anything about all of that.. : will we need to re-download every door/windows that will be fixed or will it be just a thing to install that will automatically fix everything ? Thanks for your answer and your work Hi... no.. the batch fix will go in and fix whats broke. I know there are a few creators who were able to fix their own stuff. If you cant wait.. then i suggest doing a search and seeing if that creator fixed it. and if so.. then you'll just have to redownload and overwrite the old one.

In fact, I have been thinking about one thing, all doors and windows are functional, but they are not displayed. Can you design a boot to force them to be displayed? Thats what they are working on. A batch fix.

In another thread.. andrew said he was close to having a batch fix. he has almost figured out a fix for the curved type windows. he got a fix for normal ones.

One of the mods said they were looking into it as it seems to be fixable. Source? In one of the threads. I think it was Andrew that said they were looking into it. But now that its found that the dynamic of the windows changed.. like the curved ones.. i dunno now. I believe it was in the sims 4 chat thread. Edit: 6 hours ago andrew said: I am getting closer to having a working batch fix for the doors and windows. For sure, the ones that are completely rectangular can be batch fixed. In my last test, I was able to fix a clone of one of EA's round windows as well. They are trying.

To streamline things just a little bit, in Blender you can create and export your plane mesh as a .ply file using these setting: Uncheck Everything -Z Forward Y Up Open the resulting .ply file into a text editing tool. Delete all lines except the Coord lines. Edit each line so there is a comma between each number, replacing the last one with zero. Numbers are now ready to be pasted into the "Model Cutout" using this formula. Remove and add Edges as desired. Just Loop the last Edge to the first. Edge1 - 1,2 Edge2 - 2,3 Edge3 - 3,4 Edge4 - 4,5 Edge5 - 5,6 Edge6 - 6,7 Edge7 - 7,8 Edge8 - 8,1 Note: To make a triangle cutout use this formula. (The cutout seems to need 4 edges to work) Edge1 - 1,2 Edge2 - 2,3 Edge3 - 3,1 Edge4 - 1,1 Result: Since all the information can be exported from Blender I'm curious as to weather it's possible to just write a Blender exporter to S4S's .binary format. Here's a diagram of the .binary format. I'm curious about weather S4S just exports the encrypted file, or if S4S encrypts it? (Not sure if this is considered encrypted?) Hopefully someone can make sense of this info and make a Blender exporter (and importer). can you make a batch fix for this? lol. Im sure to a modder or creator its easy, but im just a cc supporter lol. i dunno how to do this. at this point, i will gladly pay someone to fix it as i need my windows and doors. my game is unplayable until then because im a builder. :(

I was wondering why I was getting script call errors when I was trying to place bookshelves. Every time they release a patch, they screw something up. Guess have to wait until the batch fix comes out before I can continue building.
