Description
This fix will prevent a crash from happening when attempting to pick up the 'Sharper Edge Window' (an item of the Venue Set "Skylight Studio for the Performing Arts" from The Sims 3 Store) while it is placed on a diagonal wall.

Installation
Only download one of the two available files and put it into your Mods folder. The standard version is for people with a legitimate version of the Sharper Edge Window, the other version is for people who possess a decrapified variant of it. If you don't know what this means, then you probably have the legitimate version.
Important: If you have installed the Sharper Edge Window as intended, then you can put the downloaded file into the Packages folder like most other mods. However, if the Sharper Edge Window is lying in your Mods folder as a package file, then you will need to put the downloaded file into your Overrides folder. (If you don't have an Overrides folder, then you can look up how to make one so that the game uses it or you can ask me in the comments and I'll try to help.)

Technical info
The file will override one of the OBJD resources from the Sharper Edge Window (the OBJD of the diagonal window variant, to be precise).

Explanation
It's a simple explanation: While going over Store windows to examine another problem with windows, I noticed that my game just instantly crashes when trying to pick up the Sharper Edge Window after placing it down. After some more investigating, I found out that it only happens while it is placed on a diagonal wall. And after some more experimenting and even more investigating, I found out that the diagonal variant of this particular window links to a resource that does not exist. That's what causes the crash, because the game tries to find the 'straight' version of the window and just cannot. So I simply inserted the correct resource ID.

Additional Note:
It's about the problem I briefly mentioned in the previous paragraph. I noticed something peculiar happen with certain windows: When I pick them up while they are placed on a straight wall, then put them on a diagonal wall, the household will lose money as if a new window was bought, but there is still just one window, not two. This also happens the other way around, by moving one of these windows from a diagonal to a straight wall. It only happens with windows which possess an additional diagonal variant which seems to be the case mostly for windows that are at least three blocks wide (on a straight wall). This is also true for certain windows from Expansion Packs and the Base Game, not just Store windows. At the moment, I have not found a (pleasant) solution for this problem.

Feel free to test it and comment if it should still not work in your game.
