    Turns out it's something to do with the lighting setting. I turn it to low, the problem goes away, I put it on medium or higher, the problem comes back. I wouldn't mind having lighting on low but it ruins my CC hair and makes it glossy >< Any other suggestions? ☹️

    You said in your first post something about it covers your Sims body ? What do you man by that ? 

    I have to admit that I can hardly tell a difference so if maybe you have a picture where it's more visible ?

    This is CC eyes, there is nothing wrong. I just thought it'd be easier to see with the black! :D Just letting you know

    This the lighting as you can see the squares inside the eyes.

    This is without and the squares are gone. It makes the eye completely different. 

    When I mentioned it covered my Sims body, it was just whenever I turned them around, I would see a glisten on their clothing but it's not really noticeable so that's not much of a bother. But when I put the lipstick on that removes this "lighting", it makes the clothes look normal. This problem basically just lightens things. I find it odd because a lot of simmers have their lighting setting on ultra, high or medium but don't have this problem.

    To me it seems a normal thing. The higher settings come with extra lightning settings, which you can see in the eyes. My best guess would be the higher setting eyes look more natural in game, but in CAS there isn't anything to look at so you get these glassy effects on them.

    These eyes are the vampire eyes in my game:

    I don't use CC/mods so I don't know the difference with that. As that is custom content (made by another) it would be normal that the quality is different than eyes from Maxis.

    Hello @Jianeso

    I've been told that this is by design.  It is the cube map that exists on all reflective surfaces, which may be amplified on higher lighting settings.

    I Have a little problem not with my sims, rather with objects that contain glass or wood.

    I Started getting things on my window looking like paper sheets and i did not understand why

    i wanted to clear out my mods folder but i couldn't because last time i did i lost a save file.

    I Was trying to look for somebody who had this issue and i just can seem to find them ☹️

    Heres a picture
