IMO, the brick chimneys are ugly and a pain to retexture. While deleting the chimneys with moveobjects still allows the fireplaces to function overall, the jump bug when lighting them and no fireplace flames annoy the crap out of me. I defaulted the meshes for them (since some chimney textures are used for the fireplaces and default txtrs would mess them up too) and removed the smoke effect so deco chimneys can be used instead. The defaults for the not as ugly pipe chimneys are of questionable usefulness, and I haven’t seen any suitable deco ones for them, but I did them anyway. Three of the fireplaces (red ember, snugglems, ignito) also had their meshes shortened to not poke through the floor above them. A bit of a downside is the loss of the chimney smoke effect when the fireplaces are lit although that doesn’t bother me for some unknown reason.
