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.
It would be helpful if we could get some sample CC packages that are broken. Thanks to @littlegrape for sending some already If you have some broken cc doors/windows/arches, especially ones that aren't completely rectangular, please send a link. The more samples that we get between now and the release of the batch fix, the more likely we will be able to fix them all.

is it possible to get a part 1 and part 2 batch fix? I know you and your team are working so hard on getting this mess sorted, but I was wondering if a partial batch fix could be published?
Well, I don't know if the window I was working on will be helpful, but here it is anyway. I was making a half-wall for stairs, so it has a slanted cutout. It worked (before patch) with all wall heights, shifted up and down, the cutout always stretched to the very top and sides, effectively removing the wall. I wonder if it will still work that way with a model cutout, of if I will have to make a separate window for every stair elevation and wall height. app.box.com/s/96ze5znyskb38uu76y7gx22z0zalrn4i
Update... I determined model cutout coords with photoshop and edited my package file. As I suspected, it does not stretch if it is set to the wall boundary coords, but I am hoping someone finds a way. I did try reversing the coords to cutout the negative space, but when I shift the window up it of course cuts out wall space below it.
Another issue I've run in to are the sides of walls on corners and terminals do not cut. I tried increasing X coords beyond +/-0.5, but that didn't do anything. I've no idea if additional coords that include Z would cut out the sides of walls. If my window can help you guys with your batch fix I've uploaded an updated file with model cutout: app.box.com/s/96ze5znyskb38uu76y7gx22z0zalrn4i

Hello everyone. My first post. All my builds are modern and rely almost exclusively on cc windows. Some of these were listed upthread but didn't include links. Hopefully you can get this fix out there soon. Thanks for all your work!
Thanks for doing work on this. I just started Sims 4 and was going to stop again after I saw that all the doors I downloaded didn't work. I downloaded the Jacobean doors from Zx-Ta and none of them work, which is a bummer since I am planning a cathedral. I think they are conversions from Sims Medieval? I am not even trying to download the fitting windows...
Also, if I can add more: Felixandre's door don't work either and I really like them. He also made them public so would love to have them working again...
I would also like to thank you for the great work you are doing, thank you very much. ) I have these doors, windows and the garage door (which is just wonderful), which I want to bring in here.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mutske had some shutters, fake windows, & room divders as well. I do not have them in my mods personally so I cannot tell if they were affected by the update or not, or if they are even considered windows. I figured I would post the links anyways just in case. Also because they seem to affect wall space in making them act kind of like a window, at least from what I could see in the photos: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Thank you for all your hard work!!! As a fellow artist (As I consider this a artistic type job you are doing) I know how challenging it can be to sift through all this & trying to get it to work. The amount of time & effort you are putting into this is gratefully appreciated! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Can we just stop asking if it's ready every other day? It's very rude. These are amateur legends working on something that paid developers from EA should do. When finished, i'm positive we will be the first to hear. Also, a lot of people are posting the same links as others. A few examples of round, square and rectangular were asked in order to make a fix for all shapes so i'm sure we don't have to bombard this thread with links upon links bcause they are not fixing a batch based on your favourite doors or windows but based on shapes in general.
Energy would be best directed at EA because i noticed no one is giving them heat for the fact that even some of their own windows and doors are not working yet they have never attempted to fix it or even acknowledge it while millions of us are PAYING them to manage and fix the game!
Not a moderator, not trying to be.. just a patient simmer like the rest of you but one with common sense
Sims4Design: ------------------------ I was able to find this site that has mediafile links to their stuff but not sure if they work. Either which way there are some pieces in here that others might have in their mods that maybe they can direct you to the downloads better than I can. I'm still new at mod creators & just now joining in on all this fun. Sorry in advance if this link is not useful >_<
