Mt Komorebi black flowers

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Nederlands
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.69.59.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Seasons, City Living, Get Together, Snowy Escape, Island Living, Discover University, Vampires, Parenthood, Spa Day, Realm of Magic, Movie Hangout , Kids Room, Vintage Glamour, Laundry Day, Moschino, Tiny Living
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Make sure it is autumn in your game. Go to the world Mt Komorebi in the Senbamachi neighbourhood. Go to that high red/white temple building and look at the trees with the white hanging flowers. There are black lines around the white flowers and when you zoom out theyre completelely black.
What happens when the bug occurs? When it goes from summer to autumn, at precisely 12am when the season changes, the white flowers turn black/have black edges (when you zoom out they become completely black). It doesn't look like it is supposed to look that way. It looks the same as when you have bad CC on a sim and the sim turns black when you zoom out. After many testing without mods/cc and even resetting the game (made a backup and let a new sims 4 folder generate and put the save files back without mods/cc), the bug occurs everytime in autumn. In an old save, a new save, when i choose a new save that starts in autumn it is black, when i start a new save in summer its white and changing to autumn it becomes black. I have no idea if this is a bug, a technical issue or a weird design choice. I was wondering if other people have the same problem. Also: I cant really see it clearly but when I am in build mode and go look at that location, the flowers are white (i think the season is not active in build mode and thats why its white?) And another remark: Ive tested an old save of mine and when it goes from autumn to winter, the black flowers turn white again, which is good. BUT it is still a problem during the whole season of autumn every time :/
What do you expect to see? I expect to see white flowers or another color in autumn and no black flowers as if it is bugged by CC.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Well, I've only seen plants/flowers turning black in mt komorebi and not previously in other worlds. I only noticed after installing snowy escape. Also a day before, I added CAS CC to my game but even after deleting it and testing on a game without mods/resetting the sims 4 folder the same thing occurred. I checked Willow Creek in autumn and all the trees look normal, but they are different trees. I've only seen the problem in Mt Komorebi.

  • Could someone please check in their game whether or not this is by design or a bug/technical issue? (Flowers turning black in autumn). I'm still wondering if the problem is my game or not. If it is by design, I would be so happy, even though I still think it looks ugly lol. Cross my fingers 🙂

    I confirm it's not your game. I did check in fall on a new save I just did from a repaired game. I sent a sim to the shrine and the flowers are black from a far view and white with a black border as you zoom in. Maybe it's by design but I agree with you it's not that beautiful...

    So I checked me too : )
