It isn't Pets causing the bad rugs, because I don't have it. I have Uni, NL, OFB, FFS and Glamour.

I just checked the rest of my rugs, and yup, whatta 'ya know, they're all like that.
I have an ATI Radeon 9600 (256MB) and a nVidia GeForce 6200 (256MB). Both have the problem, so don't blame nVidia too much.
Has anyone tracked down some official screenshots that show rugs? That would be one way to tell if Maxis intended this lovely "feature."

Just to be the odd man out, I just went and checked my rugs. ONLY the Maxis rugs are flat in my game. I have maybe a dozen or so custom rug meshes, and all those rugs seem to be fine. I also noticed the the Maxis rugs will not lie across the rug/room dividers, but the custom rugs will. I have all EPs, no stuffeths paxs, no pets patch, Nvidia GeForce5200. ETA the flooring was half stone, half carpet, so that makes no difference.  |

ATI Radeon 9800 Pro here, and my rugs have definitely been doing this since before Pets. Possibly even since they were introduced in Nightlife -- I remember being very disapointed about the flatness.

The EAMaxis rugs look flat in my game. I hadn't really noticed it before since it is less noticable on the normal rugs than with the stepping stones and bone, which I do not use.
Echo's rugs look good.
TaWanda -- where did you get that half circle mesh?

Jordi. it's a Windkeeper mesh I've had for ages. I thought it came from MTS2, but that whole thread seems to have disappeared. Don't see it in the TSR booty list either, you can PM me if you want it. Lot's of recolors available too.

I looked in all the real rug files in da booty and didn't see this, course I am an old, half blind woman, looking at this stuff at 1am when I should be sleeping, so I coulda missed it. Blue is more than welcome to any booty I have.  I figured she probably already has it and just hadn't gotten around to reposting it yet? |

Maxis rugs have always looked bad in my games ever since I can remember. I use ATi, if anyone is wondering.
If you want to see really bad rugs, turn off snap to grid functionality - the rugs blend into floors like puke.

It looks like Maxis Rugs are working like Terrainpaintings no mesh involved while placed. Meshes are only needet for visibility while moving around. Numenor made the LS rugs buyable see what happens when meshes are involved when placed.  The red circle shows what happens when rugs overlap, and there are serious lightning probs. Numenors Rugs look like the original Maxis Rugs while you move them around for placing purposes. |

Maxis rugs have always looked like that, that's why I never use them, I thought that was the way Maxis intended them to look  |

I've noticed if you just put the maxis rugs on the grass in buy mode, the grid lines show through. That can't be right |

The half-circle rugs are by Windkeeper and you can find them on TSR. The filename there starts with Half Circle something-or-other, so I'm guessing that it's not in the booty because the Windkeeper directory is missing files from F to M. I know this because I've been watching that directory for a while, looking for that and other H-named files.  |

Anyone want the rugs? Pm me.

Sick of Bluewater? Try Sedona or Meadow Lawns instead. Meadow Lawns is a whole neighbourhood built to explore OFB. Sedona is a sub'hood you can install as a permanent alternative to Bluewater - it's an "out of this world" experience! www.moreawesomethanyou.com/cwykes |

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say that they go flat to avoid problems with sim shadows disappearing and feet sinking into them, the TS2 engine has no collision data capability so that's the only way they'd be able to fix it ¬_¬

My rugs are not flat. They have a raised edge, especially the custom rugs.

I checked mine and the official rugs are now all as flat as pancakes. I'm pretty damned sure this wasn't always the case as I remember using those stepping stones not long after I first bought the game and they looked pretty good. I probably only had the base game + FFS at that point I remember them working and I'm running on a laptop with a Radeon X300. No idea which EP broke them as I bought/installed them in a weird order.
