Title: Bugged lot... and I haven't even finished building it!
Post by: Database on 2005 November 20, 11:41:20
When building a lot...this happened: :o

(http://www.susiesims2much.com/Data/bugged.jpg)

The doors and windows dissappeared! I had to delete the wall the "window" was on and rebuild it - completely messed up my wallpapering!

You shouldn't have - just exit the lot with save, then enter again. They will appear again. It happened to me a lot of times, because I replace doors and windows each 6-7 days. It's some glitch of the game.

I've been wondering about this. I also have this happen alot. I wasn't sure what was causing it.

They are correct. It's a teeny-weeny bug. Exiting and re-entering would have fixed it.

Actually, you don't even need to exit. Simply click on buy mode, and they reappear. This happens to me a lot, both when building and sometimes when changing levels during play.

The only time I've seen this happen is while saving, they disappear for a moment then return to normal.

I've seen this happen when I was on a different level than I thought I was. But, yes, buy mode usually brings them right back.

I have that happen if I have moveobjects on and/or boolprop snapObjectsToGrid false while placing doors or windows. It's easy to get them not quite properly aligned with the walls. I also echo the comment about accidentally placing them on the wrong level... :)

Playing in wall-down mode can cause windows to disappear and be replaced by holes in walls. To fix this, switch to cutaway mode or higher.

What I personally do is remove the roof prior to adding a new section to the house, it does help for me.

Going out of build mode, lower a floor down, save, and then go up a floor does the trick too most of the time.

You don't have to remove anything and that won't help. Just switch to one of the visible-wall modes and the problem should resolve itself.

Oh well thanks Pescado, I was going into too much trouble for nothing.  I will from now on do it the way you suggest.
