TSS carpet inaccessible
phyllis_p:
So ... I'm not a big-time decorator, but I decided last night to give one of my Sim's bedroom a make-over. They were using the goth bed from TSS, so I opened the Goth Collection to see if there were any carpets that theoretically went with it. (EA designers have no sense of color coordination -- even a bad decorator like me is aware of that). Anyway, there were a few checkered carpets and a few solid colored ones. I can use the checkered ones, but when I click on the solid ones, I can't select them. I went to Build Mode and tried to access them from there, and the solids don't even show up -- only checkered.
I didn't see this one in any of the TSS borked stuff threads. Anyone else experience this? Is there a way to fix it?
Emma:
I haven't noticed this, but I haven't made any gothy-type rooms as yet. I'll go check on my clean install right now. ;)
[edit] Nope, they don't work.

Thanks for verifying that it's not just me, Emma :-)

The ones that aren't working, are they any of these carpets?

Also are you positive that the "carpet" in question is not a wall? I've noticed with TSS the carpet and wall order seems to be switched. The walls are actualy in the catalogue before the floors. I made the same mistake and it was a clean game so I knew that it wasn't something in my users, i just happened to move my cursor near the wall and discovered the issue. :-[

Hmm. Maybe the solids are walls. Looking at your picture, I think I see solid wall colors that match what I thought had been solid carpet colors. That'll be a big d'oh! for me, if true. I'm at work now, so I can't check, but I'll look when I get home. Thanks so much :-) (I guess I couldn't imagine they'd have checked carpets but no solids. I forgot the decor-challenged-ness of the designers).
