Weatherproof custom roofs
Spicey:
i've got a crapload of custom roofs created by warping floor panels, and as soon as it starts raining or snowing, all my simmies start running around, cringing, and "yelling" about weather in the house.
even a regular flat floor will not stop the rain, if i try it as a barrier between the roof and the living area. i had to move my broken-down-barn sims into a much smaller shed with a "real" roof until i can figure out how to fix their rattletrap livingquarters.
any suggestions? hacks? hints?
thanks in advance.

Zazazu:
A regular flat floor should work. I've used that fix on a few of my lots, plus I'm rather fond of flat roofs. Are you making sure to put wall-to-wall-to-wall-to-wall floor tiles in between? Even one missed tile can wreak havoc.

I removed some roof COLORING tiles and had the 'weather in the house' thing. You would think that the roof would just resort back to Maxis default (it looked like that was what happened), but apparently the game thought the roof was gone. Pain in the butt...had to re-roof every house where I had used those tiles.
So apparently Seasons code for 'there's an actual roof over this house' is very touchy. And in more than one way?
Tamha:
I have no idea if what I'm thinking would have an effect, but when you make the flat "under-roofs", are you using the tile auto-roofing function? Since the code is apparently touchy about what a roof is, that might have an effect?
notveryawesome:
I've noticed that, since the 2nd Pets patch, the walls extend slightly past the interior edges of a room, and I've had to start adding extra roof-tiles to the outer edges of the entire house, so that there's a sort of eave around the exterior of the house. If I don't do this, there is a gap between the inner edge of the walls and the outer edge of the roof. The only way to cover the walls completely is to add the extra roof-tiles. I suspect that, even though I don't yet have Seasons, this is some Seasons-related code that was placed in the Pets patch. This could be the problem with the custom roofs.
ETA: This is only a problem for me when making flat roofs. Pitched roofs seem to cover the walls properly.
Edit: corrected spelling of 'eave' - doh!
