The terrain paint tool does not seem to be useable. I can select the paint and click to apply but it does not stick:
Played around with graphics settings in-game but cannot currently find a workaround.
edits terrain paints not working, only erases the content.
You can fix this temporarily by going to edit town and back in (whether you save or not). The terrain paint will disappear again if you try to edit it, so you have to paint blindly but it's better than nothing.
I just sent an email via their report bug –> send feedback option. Hopefully it doesn't disappear into the void. I've been following this thread since November.
I am also having this issue, I built a house in edit town for my family to move into and when I put the terrain paint down it didn’t appear except for in the one spot I painted it last. What I’ve noticed is that when I left build/buy back to edit town and then went back into the lot the terrain paint appeared. You just kind of have to guess where you want them and how they apply for you to have terrain paints.
Hope this helps!
Same issue for me. Snow also won't stick to home lot, in conjunction with the static hair and block eyelashes. Seems to be an underlying graphics issue in 64bit that desperately needs a patch. It's now Feb '21 and the first reports were in October '20 so they really need to work on this. Do they read these forums? Can we...call them?
I really hope we get a fix for this soon. This problem seems widespread and persistent, and EA is well overdue in addressing the issue, even after multiple game updates.
Cant use the terrain paints either, exactly the same issue as described. Has anyone found any way around it? I really hope they fix it because although it may seem minor and it has been classed as a minor glitch as someone who mostly enjoys the building side of the sims, it's a bit of a dealbreaker which is a real shame because there's nothing that overly excites me about sims 4
@romeiojohnson Here's a good place to start:
https://www.parallels.com/welcome-new/
However, if you're going to install Windows, you'd get better performance running the game through Bootcamp instead. The graphics drivers provided by Parallels are pretty bad, wherease the ones in Bootcamp are fine. Additionally, your Mac would only need to run one OS at a time rather than splitting resources between both.
And of course it's cheaper to buy only the Windows 10 product key you'd need for Bootcamp than it is to buy the key and the Parallels subscription.
On the other hand, if you'd like to troubleshoot your current issue, maybe we can address it enough that you can keep playing in macOS, without the need for either of these approaches.
Can you explain to me how to use Parallels?
