So recently I made some wall writings for my sims 3 series and I need them to be able to move up and down the wall but they won't. In tsrw i enabled canbemovedupanddown wall but that did not do anything. I also enabled something that said wall items can touch the floor I think, that didn't work either. I also enabled something else from a tutorial I saw but nothing is working. In came I shift clicked, I clicked and dragged the cursor but all that does is rotate the wall writings. Why isn't moving up and down and what can be done to fix it

Bump...I really need help

What did you use as a base mesh for it? Easiest way to have all settings correct is to clone a painting or another object that is already shiftable. Also, these things are easier to edit in S3PE than in TSRW, so maybe try that? In TSRW not all attributes seem to stick.
Objects need to have the "On Wall" attribute for the shiftable attribute to take effect.

Also there is a setting "Can be moved up and down on wall" in s3pe, somewhere below the "On Wall" - set that to true. Although I've seen lots of paintings that don't have it on and are still dragabble, not sure exactly what it's deal is but won't hurt. As Norn said, tho - if you cloned a movable painting it should automatically work as intended.
