Won't be on quite so much..

[joandsarah]

Well I'm baaaack again! Dh managed to get a helpful Telstra worker! And he somehow wound our usage back a little Dh just upgraded so hopefully this won't happen again.

[Tina ☺]

Yay! That's good news Jo. ;D I would feel all 'lost' without my internet.

[joandsarah]

Well I still had internet just that it was soo slow. A real pain trying to get pictures to show. We now have a 25GB plan!

[Tina ☺]

Dialup speed sucks too..lol. I still remember the horror of it all!

Congrats on your new plan! Hopefully that'll last you awhile. lol

[joandsarah]

Yeah dh said "Lets hope that does you for a week" Oh man if I exceed THAT in a week I will be in trouble!

By the way I can't get any doors to go on the diagonal. Not even the cheap one.
Also how do I get rid of a piece of cc 'furniture' Can that be gotten rid of in game? I think a washing machine I have is bad. I was placing them and my game froze and crashed. And it did one other time I placed one. Luckly I have another but that one had clothes in and I liked it. But crashing twice makes me twitchy.

[Tina ☺]

It's too bad your downloads folder isn't organized so you could find it and get rid of it outside the game. Deleting things from inside the game isn't the best way to get rid of cc because sometimes it doesn't get rid of everything, but it won't really hurt anything to do it that way.

I don't know why you can't get doors to go on diagonally. I do it all the time when I'm building without using any cheats.

[joandsarah]

Maybe the wall needs to be longer? It was only one tile wide on the diagonal.

I think I have been slowed down again! Oh well they only gave us back a small amount and I have been getting stuff up on youtube. Thankgoodness it's a new month tomorrow here! 25GB here I come! ;D

[Tina ☺]

I hear ya!

Jo, the wall length doesn't matter. I put doors and arches on one square's length of wall all the time. I had my game open and tried it right after I read your previous post in a house with a diagonal wall. LOTS of doors went right into place on it. It's confuzzling to me why you can't do it.

[jillyson]

I never use cheats to place doors diagonally either, but I do know some doors won't go that way. I do think the wall has to be at least 2 or 3 tiles, but I'm not sure. Welcome back to the information super-highway!

[Tina ☺]

No, the wall does NOT need to be two or three tiles.

Think about it: why would the wall need to be more than one tile for a one tile door? Now, of course you need at least two tiles for a two-tile door.

Check it out!

[joandsarah]

Hmm, well I'll try it again. So you didn't have to 'do' anything to make those doors go on that way?

Edit: I think I figured it out, it won't work with moveobjects on,

I'm still trying to get these celebs right. Gosh they look so good until you see them in CAS. Gerry Butler now, number 1 his eyes are weirdly overdone. Gerry 2 has a concave forhead and looks gay. *sigh* I'm trying to fix number 2 as i have no hope with number 1!

[jillyson]

You're absolutely right - it won't work w/move objects on. You also can't place windows on the diagonal with it on.
@ Tina! Now, the 2 doors you have kind of facing eachother - I can't do that. doors (2 & 3.) I have to have a whole square in front - even if it's a diag. square.

[Tina ☺]

LOL! I was going to ask you, Jo, if you had move objects on. Doors and windows don't place correctly in any case with that on because they end up sinking into the wall and not looking like doors..lol It happens with windows too. I've downloaded several lots with screwed-up looking doors that were placed with move objects on. The sims can still go through them, but it doesn't look very good.

Hey Jill, some doors WON'T place facing each other that way, but some do for some reason. I'll bet you can do it with the same doors I used.

[joandsarah]

Oh I know, like just the frame showing. I always check that. Hopefully the hotel (Got any good names for that?) doesn't have any of those badly placed ones.

[Tina ☺]

I have no clue on names, but to make sure the doors are all in good shape, all you have to do is go in, pick them up, and place them with move objects off.
