Yes, it may seem unfathomable that there is a hidden roof type, but it is indeed the case. And I am trying to unlock it for easy use. The roof in question is used on only one EA house found in Oasis springs, and it is a hipped roof with eaves. You can see it below (left is hipped roof, then the right one is the hipped roof with eaves): Well, i hit a stumbling block. In order for the roof to exist in-game, it would have to be in the same format as the other roofing. However, there are only 12 roof files in the client/delta build files, and those account for all 8 standard roof types, and the 4 flat roof types unlocked when in debug mode. I managed to unlock the debug roofing easily enough thinking one of those might have been the roof in question, but it wasn't. So does anyone have a suggestion for where to look for this roof? or what other file formats it might exist as? it has to be somewhere because it can be used ingame with no issues if you edit this lot, you just can't select it from the UI. any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi peacemaker , are you sure this is a separate roof type and not something constructed using build mode features? Which house is it that has it?

I am almost positive this is a unique roofing item as there is no other construction item that controls eave length, that is all within the roofing mesh itself, at least when talking about all the other types. Considering that hipped roofing doesn't have the ability to have the eaves adjusted, i assume it would be a separate, developer-only item, but it could be possible that the option is turned off within the roofing files. I will probably take a look at that to make sure. However, I don't think it is true because the meshes are slightly different when you look at the edge of the roof when removing any trim. I am wondering if it is locked up in the world files though as it only exists in Oasis Spring, that would be my other guess, but it is just strange that I can't find it.
The house in question is an EA build in Oasis Springs called Agave Abode.

See THIS Reddit post. Apparently it is a bug.

awe man that sucks. Well at least I know, It just seems kinda weird it is a bug though and i would like to know under what circumstances this bug occurred (which is a bit vague tbh). Because the meshes themselves look different and there does not seem to be stretching of the mesh that would indicate the lengthening of the polys, i have to admit, I do find it hard to believe its a bug, but it was an EA employee that commented, so I will take their word for it. That was 12 months ago though, at this point, I hold little hope that it will be added :/

Nice find Brujah. Well, it's sort of a long shot but you could try asking about it at the EA forums...sometimes the EA reps respond with helpful answers.
