[ARCHIVED] [LD] Hallow Grounds: Lights get stuck very bright after flickering

Product: The Sims 4

Platform: PC

How often does the bug occur?:Every time the lights flicker

What is your current game version number?: 1.110.294.1020 DX11

What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed?: All of them accept for a few kits en Batuu

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves?: Make a lot with the On Hallowed Grounds trait and wait for the lights to flicker

What happens when the bug occurs?: When the flickering of the lights is done, they do not return to their original settings but get stuck in a very bright and very white setting

What do you expect to see?: I expect the lights to retrurn to the settings I had before they flicker

Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system?: No

Please describe the patch or change you made.: -

I have the lot trait On Hallowed Grounds active and every now and then the lights in the house flicker on purpose. The problem is that when the flickering is over, all lights get stuck at a very white color and a very bright intensity. Not exactly how I want my ghostly house to be lit. And absolutely not the settings I had before the flickering started. It's really annoying to have to individually change the lights back to it's former brightness, or to replace them all for new ones in build mode, which also cost money I do not wish to spend.

    Hey all,

    Just checking in to see if anyone is still seeing this on a modless game as we've been unable to reproduce it on our end.

    If so please share your save file with us (instructions: http://x.ea.com/74420) so we can take a look.

    Thanks!

    Its happening for me as well. All candles went from different colors/intensity to very bright neutral white after the flickering finished.

    For me it just resets all the colors I've set but it doesn't make the lights any brighter.  I am using TwMexi's BBB mod and he did introduce a new color wheel in the last update.

    Anybody know if there's a cheat or any manual way to make the lights flicker? Don't really want to remove mods and then have to wait for however long it takes the lights to flicker just to test out if it's mods or not.

    I had the opposite issue. The lights turned off and would not turn back on. I tried replacing the lights and removing the lot trait and it remained off. I looked up a possible solution of replacing the mailbox so I did that as well and restarted the game and the lights are back on now. It's a very annoying bug

    @MaeyinB Yeah, that's actually what I now notice happen to mine. The lights turn off but also still work. Like the illumination effect from them is correct, they just don't look like they are on. To fix it I have to relaunch the game.
    I just turned hallowed ground off for now. Too annoying to have to reset my light colors every time it happens.
