This fixes the mesh as well as the cres. Any existing windows will need to be deleted and repurchased. Ideally this should load after CEP as that added the glass subset as recolorable.
For the curious. Normally meshes are sit 0.15 away from center in the 3d editor, and then moved via the cres to align with walls. This results in the two window parts *facing* each other normally in the 3d editor. For some reason the straight version of this window they were moved the opposite direction and no longer face each other. This affected how the game renders shadow on the mesh.
Thanks to simsample for the original quest of a fix, and to AlexArt in TeaAddicts discord for the second quest for a fix.

Installation of CEP Extras-the package with pfiles appended to the name will go into your cep extras folder where your game is installed (typically c drive, you do you)
-the other goes in CEP extra folder in documents.
The following locations are what I am aware of, beyond that you'll have to do some searching.
Downloads Folder:
C:\Users\<user>\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Legacy
C:\Users\<user>\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection
With multiple launchers, the location for your game install will vary.
