I edited a house, and its roof just disappeared. Actually, all of the roofs in the vicinity of whichever sim I'm playing disappear...
I've tried changing them and saving and quitting and spamming the Home/End and PageUp/PageDown buttons, but all I see is the floor underneath and the triangular walls that come with certain roof types. I can't even use CASt on any roofs! This is driving me compltely bonkers, even though the rest of the game is enjoyable. Does anyone else have this glitch or any solutions?
Thanks in advance~

I'm having this problem as well, and it is driving me insane! I can not see the roof at all - just the supporting walls.

Hmm. It's just that sim? So it fixes itself if you switch to a different sim?

This sounds like a feature.

Nope... I checked with three families the house that worst suffers from having no roof. No roof, not even in the menu picture! If it's a feature, it's a bloody annoying feature, because I'd like to take photos of the game with roofs on houses.

Same here. No matter what house I go into, no roof. I'm building one and I get the options to do the roof but it will not show in my game.

I have the SAME issue!!!! I have been searching the net for days trying to find others with the same issue!!! I am happy my game is working fine but to not have a roof and other homes around not have roofs isn't a good thing!!! I was thinking of unistalling and reinstalling cause I KNOW those houses had roofs BEFORE I moved in!!!! Anyone come up with a solution or are you just dealing with not having a roof? If it is a glitch I hope they come out with a patch SOON.

Just a question. Do the triangular walls that would support the roof show up?
If they do, click the button to go up one level one more time. The roof tiles won't show up before you are totally at the top of the house. Hope this helps.

It could also be an issue with your graphics settings. What are your system specs?

Angel F yes the triangle walls do show up but no roof. You mean I need to hit the up button again? Even before I start the roof fiasco I make sure I am up as far as the floors can go.

Cannodle here are my specs:

Only some of the graphics settings in game are on medium, none on high. I know my crappy onboard graphics would NOT be able to handle that. Oh and I also went to Sims 3 website help (the first link you posted) and I did turn all my settings to low. The other homes in my neighborhoods have roofs that previously didn't but the house my sim lives in still doesn't and it just won't work. I think I will deal with having the stupid flat roof.

Your chipset hasn't been supported for the Sims franchise for quite some time. At least you can play! That's the good news.

AND to THINK I just got this PC in December!!! LOL
Ok Canoodle, maybe you can help me upgrade. I have an ATI Visiontek X1550 I bought from my last computer that died before I could use it. I checked my PC's power supply and it is 250 watts. The card says recommended wattage 280 or more. I am scared to install it. Reason being I had a Nvidia 7300GS on the PC that died (motherboard went and pc was close to 3 yrs old). That one recommends 300 wattage or more and I noticed it doesn't say if it works with Vista but anyhow. I really want a better video card but I am scared I may burn this pc out as well.

Anyone can recommend a video card that will allow me to play on high settings based on my power supply. (I have a PCIe slot) Thanks!!!

Cajun, check our computer/hardware forum. There's a terrific sticky, written by Calli, on what to look for, how to upgrade, and how to buy a new computer.

Thanks Canoodle. That was very informative!! I didn't know that forum was there!

My roof doesn't show up either,
I HOPE that a patch is released


I just wana know if this is a bug or not.

Did you read the thread? The solution was posted earlier.
