[FIXED] Willow Creek Lots - Environmental Lighting Issues

Mine show in black on the sidewalks outside at any time of day.

ps : random comment but nice realistic built I like it, did you upload it by any chance in the gallery? 

Seems like a glitch from this last patch. Have you noticed anything else other than the black sidewalks?

Also, thank you! I made this house in anticipation for Seasons, so I was going to wait until the expansion pack came out before I uploaded it to the gallery. Unfortunately with these issues it looks like I should wait a little while longer ☹️ 

If you place this house in another neighbourhood (i.e. Brindleton Bay etc), does the issue persist?

I'm getting the white exteriors turning green like yours but not purple floors:

Which graphics card does your Mac have? If it's a 15" MBP with both integrated Intel and dedicated NVIDIA/AMD please list both. Which version of macOS are you running?

I don't think so.. I had quickly checked 16 hours ago.. and now I relaunched it again and this time it looks almost normal but my graphics aren't as good as other people and in the Riverside Roost lot in Willowcreek the sidewalk where there is shrubs under it there is green stains I don't know if it always looked like that or not.. I'd upload the picture but I've been taking the pictures with my phone I don't know how to find my screenshots taken via the game.. 

Were those stains always there on the Riverside Roost lot in Willowcreek? ps. the sidewalks look like that in Newcrest too.

UPDATE : @jpayumo16 my issue was the CC so everyone check your CCs to make sure it's not causing the glitches on your game.

The only thing that I saw that may be related aside from the June 2018 update, was at one point a vampire broke into the lots' home before I saved the game.  Could that have made my lot haunted or cursed in some way?  I tried looking online if that would be the case, but I can find nothing about it or cursed lots.  I loaded an earlier game where the lot was not darkened and saved it before un-pausing it, and the lot looks normal on the neighborhood screen.  This darkened lot happened after the June 2018 Seasons patch.  Just wondering if this is June-2018-update related or vampire related..and how do I reverse it if the latter?  Thanks if you can clear up my confusion here.

the large 50 x 50 lot (Oakenstead: upper left) is the lot that darkened

Okay so I turned off laptop mode and that got rid of the purple flooring.. however my house still looks green-ish in the afternoon lighting.. all other times of day is fine. 

I'm wondering if this has something to do with the issue of the grass being so dull - maybe these issues are stemming from the same bug/ glitch? 

Also, while on laptop mode earlier I did test my house on other lots in Oasis Springs - same issues came up. I then went into other lots that were smaller in Oasis Springs. Everytime I put down black plank wood flooring outside it came out as bright purple again. So the glitch was happening between neighborhoods, not just Willow Creek as I originally thought.

The big question here now is - is laptop mode not compatible anymore? Not sure if those fixing the bugs in the patch are aware of this though. I don't have Twitter so I cannot tweet them directly about this.
