High Detail Lighting Bug with City Living Window

celipoesias

There is a bug with a City Living expansion window.

Basically this is it: Its illumination in high detail projects itself incorrectly inside the houses. This window has glass that changes appearance according to the chosen color, but apparently the lighting in high detail uses only a shade style designed for its interior. This image I showed is in my friend's game.





In my game, these windows do not even have high detail lighting. Basically the internal lighting does not appear as in other windows.

Bumping because I really wish this bug would get more attention than it is.

Hello
It would be good to post feedback on the AHQ EA thread about the issue. This helps the Developers to be aware of the simmers affected by the issue.

I haven't found a great answer, however if you are a mod/cc user it may appeal. You can get double pane versions of the city living windows as a custom content creation. They come in single pane too and have all sizes on small walls. These windows show the correct shadow. Since I am new to this website I cannot post links, however, it is the first thing that comes up when you type "city living windows cc" on google images.

Hello @IsabelHoddinott
I think that this may be the link to the cc site page

It is very thoughtful of you to post the helpful information about the cc

Hello
That is good! It is great to hear the results of your testing after the patch.
Did you test all the palette options? BryonyRae posted in January on the AHQ EA site that

As of 1/22/18, I have tested the window again. It is now casting shadows, but only the shadows from the first two palette options. All other palette options (which are essentially different window styles) are also casting shadows from the first two palette options. See images below:

Hey! Just wanna bump this. The shadow remains the same as the first two palettes currently. Also the blurring effect only applies to the first two palette cutout designs ://

Have you actually tested this in your game? Cause I just got the patch and it's still not fixed for me.

I haven’t tested this in my game. I just posted what was in the game patch notes. It would be best to post on the AHQ EA thread that you are still having isssues

I tested it as well and it’s not fixed in my game. I’ll remove the city living cc windows out too, just to make sure (although I doubt it).
