I'm looking for feedback on my newest conversion from TS3 Roaring Heights - The Sunburst Skylight. Edit: You will need Get Together for it to work. It's been colour matched to the vintage glamour palette (sp not necessary to use). It can be found in the roof deco section & in windows (although sometimes it's difficult to find). It can be sized up & down with no problems. It casts shadows but due to one of the recent patches it will only do this in an unenclosed room (the glass dancefloor is the same). Let me know what you think, or if there's anything I've missed/not done correctly (I'm fairly new to converting). Download HEREThanks!

Looks and works great, however I would put it in the roof sculpture category instead of windows and wall attachments. This category is not on the studio tags tab and can be accessed through the warehouse (will more than likely be added in a future update). On the Object Catalog resources click on the Edit Items button next to Tags on the right side (you may have to scroll a little), a window will pop up and you will see the screenshot below. The tags you will want to add are Build_RoofAttachment and Build_RoofAttachmentMisc. You will have to do this to ALL Object Catalog resources for all of the swatches to appear in the correct category.

I tested in base game and could not find the mod anywhere. Is it an EP object?

Thanks for the handy tip brujah, i've not really looked into the warehouse stuff much as i'm still learning.  Sorry Leniad, I was sure it was BG compatible but maybe I've forgotten to check, thanks for the heads up! I'll link to an updated version in a bit.

No worries, just so you know what is necessary.

If you'd like light to be able to pass through even in an enclosed room then give this a try: sims4studio.com/post/55065Hopefully it works for an object like this the same way as it does for windows and doors.

Thanks for the info menaceman, I'll take a look. It will come in handy for the doors I want to convert too.

I took a look and changed the cutout info like you said, but unfortunately it didn't work. Might tinker around with the other bits in the cutout info box though.

I know that this is an exceptionally old thread now but after having stumbled upon it again today, I gave setting the NoOpaque flag a go again and it worked for me now. I have no idea if anything changed between the original thread post and now but I can place the skylight on the ceiling of an enclosed room and light passes through it into the room below.
