[ARCHIVED] Moon Texture still has lower quality and is not solid/black

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Italiano
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.99.264.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1.Go to any world at night when the moon is not new or full and look at sky, you'll see the stars overlapping the moon. 2.Go to any other world except Granite Falls, Forgotten Hollow, Chestnut Ridge, Glimmerbrook and the Magic Realm to see that the moon is lower quality compared to the worlds mentioned.
What happens when the bug occurs? Stars taking over the moon when is cycling through lunar phases (except new and full) and lower moon textures.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see the moons of either Forgotten Hollow or Granite Falls/Glimmerbrook/Chestnut Ridge for all the other worlds or at least have a moon with better texture quality, and as a solid object.
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. The pre-werewolves/lunar phases patch.

Even after the 1.99 patch, the moon texture didn't change for all worlds except Granite Falls, Forgotten Hollow, Chestnut Ridge, Glimmerbrook and the Magic Realm. I've attached some screenshot of the Glimmerbrook moon VS. the standard moon that you can find in almost all other worlds and also the fact that is not a solid object and stars go through it (happens with all moons).

    The moon over Ciudad de Empanadas before and after installing a texture mod that's aimed at fixing this issue.  Looks like 9/18 is both the date and the ratio of completion of that patch (9/18 = 1/2).

    I had this moon problem too. And I believe it's Sep 2024 patch because I didn't have this issue before.

    From my experience, I found this overlapped moon in...

    • San Myshuno (my first found)
    • Windenburg
    • Tomarang

    All were tested after removing mods. (But not a new game folder)

    I want to test all worlds but it's hard because if it's cloudy, I can't see the moon

    (I can't change the weather easily without a mod).

    However, some world doesn't have a problem in same time.

    • Willow Creek (new low-quality moon after moon phase patch)
    • Forgotten Hollow (unique yellow moon)

    So, it's a different situation in each world.

    (I can't change the weather easily without a mod).

    Dr Junes weather machine do not require mods to work. You find it in BB (requires Seasons).

    Screenshot of the double moon in Windenburg.  No CC, no Mods. On Mac.

    Also seeing this in my game and it would be great for all of the moons to be correct.
