The mirrors don't show a reflection unless you get real close to it. Not sure about water though.
My sims with clear glasses on had purple lenses in the "mini-pictures". They were normal in the game though. (Sorry, I'm not very good with explaining, and English's not my mother (or father, for that matter) tounge)
I have a 13" retina macbook pro (late 2013) and recently I discovered the advantages (and disadvantages) of the laptop-mode in the sims 4. Since enabling this setting I was able to play at a much higher setting than before, without my fan going into overdrive (yay!). The grey windows didn't bother me as much: especially since the gameplay has improved... Some windows weren't even affected, a few were. But my sim has glasses and as the user above me has stated, it makes the lenses turn purple (yuk).
Currently i'm playing at high settings (only 3D scene resolution at medium) which i couldn't before. Edge smoothing is off, retina display on, laptop mode on. Laptop mode so far has been a lifesaver... but i really do not like the purple lenses, sigh.
Just sharing my experience!
So I'm at loss of what to do here... >.<

Your settings are too high. Follow these instructions to set your graphics back to the default settings:

Did you read the stickied thread for help, troubleshooting and bugs? The info is in there.
I'm playing in low on laptop mode, when I tried to bump up to medium graphics my computer slowed right down and I haven't tried turning laptop mode off yet, but I can do later when I start playing again tonight.

the game runs beautiful except for the window thing, its so annoying!
> So you did. Sorry, I only read your last post! If you lower your graphics settings, like Intel users have, do the windows work properly?
i just tried this, it made no difference boo
Can you upgrade to Yosemite 10.10? You're the only NVIDIA user who's reported this issue on here.

As for the windows, EA really need to fix it in a patch. It's on the bug list they read, they've been Tweeted about it. What works for some doesn't seem to work for others mainly, lowering graphics and turning off laptop mode (after turning off laptop mode you can play with the graphics options to see how high you can get them comfortably). And upgrading to Yosemite fixed it for some because of the driver updates.

I have noticed this issue happens in Laptop Mode with the base windows, but not with windows that came with GTW. I do not have Outdoors GP so I can't speak for that (if it even included windows).

With laptop mode windows return to normal, but Performance renders slower. For instance, with laptop mode off, when rotating, it takes a second to realize the command, but with laptop mode on, when rotating, the command and action is in sync.
