I remember when rugs looked thick with beutifully rounded edges and not flat like some crappy stamp on the floor. what happend? Bofere I put the rug on the floor, while its attached to the cursor, it looks ok, but then when i place it on the floor it becomes plain as a piece of paper. Is this happening in your games too? Before placing it: After: Setings are high, same thing happens if placed outside, on the grass, on wood, on tile, on carpet... Happens to every rug.

Just a shot in the dark here, but are your game settings a bit low? I'm guessing not because of the quality of that swing thing. Perhaps it has something to do with the type of floor?

Does it do the same thing on tile or wood? My thinking caps tend to sink into carpet.

That's supposed to be a rug? It looks more like someone spilled a raw pancake on the ground and it mooshes out once you let go and drop it.

I think my rugs still look normal... will check later. Only the echo rugs (which were made before we got EAMaxis rugs) tend to look weird.

The stepping stone rug does this for me also, and always has. I figured it was a "feature"

So you need to export the rugs on Echo's base and reimport them onto a Maxis base?

It doesn't happen only to hte stepping stone rug. It happens to *ALL rugs*
I just posted the stteping stones because its easier to see the defference.
Another one that is easy to see the difference is that bone-shaped rug that came with Pets.

Its made that way by Maxis. Rugs have two meshes, best to see on the Stepping Stones. One mesh to place them the other is a layer who replaces the more detailed Mesh. For Bumpmapping. I remember the white Marokkan Fence was Bumpmapped. The Thumpnail looks like Bumpmapped but the Fence is plain white now.

but i remember it wasn't like that... it must have been a patch or a expansion pack that changed that... what would be? maybe the PETS patch... Is this happening to someone who haven't installed the pets patch?

It is the same since we got the stepping Stones. I have buyed the FFS Pack because they were in it. Putted they first on a lawn behind my most played House and was thinking like my Sims "Whats this?". I have seen better looking Pancakes. It was since Nightlife. Some Grafikfeatures where broken in the Game.

Mine go flat too. I don't really care, because I don't use them. All my other rugs are ok though.

Are you sure? As i said before i don't think this is a issue of the stpping stones only. it affects all rugs in general. Everything that uses the rugsGlobal... test it with your bone-shapped if you have pets. i bet it will go flat too

My stepping stones have ALWAYS done this. Very annoying. I haven't seen any of my other rugs do that, but then I haven't used rugs very much.

I just went and looked and all of mine do the same. All of the rugs end up lying at the same level as the flooring instead of on top. Weird. I do not have the patch installed.

Your stteping stone rug is not going flat? What EPs/SPs you have installed? What patches?

I've been trying to figure out all week what was wrong with my "flat" rugs. I thought I had downloaded some bad lots or something.
I have the Pets patch installed. I'm pretty sure the rugs were OK before that, but maybe it started with Pets and I didn't notice it.

It probably is another 'pets peeve'. I hardly ever use rugs, so didn't really notice until this post was made. Now that I know, it bugs the living crap outta me! lol
