Neutral/Not Sure I noticed that the new bunkbeds from Growing Together expansion pack have these weird gray squares.

I just bought the Growing Together pack yesterday, so this is my first time using these beds. I also get the weird gray squares in the textures, depending on how I place the bed. If I place it anywhere that is not touching a wall, then it looks fine.The problem occurs as soon as I put the bed against a wall and the head (pillow) of the bed is to the right.If I spin it around and the head of the bed is to the left, then it looks fine.I tested this on two different walls in two different rooms.If you zoom in very close, you can see that even the swatches with the drawings look a little strange when the bed is against a wall and the head is to the right.If I spin that swatch around and zoom in, it looks fine.I am playing on PC with a no-mod/cc save (never modded) and my graphics are set to ultra.So, long story short, my workaround is simply to reorient the bed in a way that the swatches look good, and the gray square does not appear.I hope this helps!EDIT: I forgot to mention, but I did try repairing my game thru the EA App prior to making this post. It did not fix the issue.

@crinrict I know this is from a while ago, but I also have this problem in my game :0 I play on PC (EA App) and my graphics quality is set to Ultra

@preciousbun That's possible. Glad you fixed it.

Playing on PC I can confirm this.But it doesn't happen with the last four swatches. All the swatches with the little drawing are ok.

@ELryuu I checked these in my game and they are white for me.

What graphics settings are you playing on and what platform ?

I wondered if this was a glitch or if they were supposed to look like that! I have the grey squares on three or four swatches -- I think all the ones that don't have children's art attached. I only found myself using the art texture ones because the grey bit looked bad to me, like there was something missing.

@preciousbun Yup, that's what I mean, sorry. I see you said PC above :D

Do you have it on all swatches or the same as above only on those that have art ?

Could you post your Computer's DxDiag?

@crinrictOkay this is so weird. I went to go check the bed again just to double check and now all the swatches are normal?? Before all except the last 4 ones that have drawings on them were greyed out :0

I don’t know what fixed it tbh, I usually delete my localthumbnailcache after I’ve added any mods or cc so I did that today, only thing I can think of that would have fixed it 😅

I just bought the Growing Together pack yesterday, so this is my first time using these beds. I also get the weird gray squares in the textures, depending on how I place the bed. If I place it anywhere that is not touching a wall, then it looks fine.
The problem occurs as soon as I put the bed against a wall and the head (pillow) of the bed is to the right.
If I spin it around and the head of the bed is to the left, then it looks fine.
I tested this on two different walls in two different rooms.
If you zoom in very close, you can see that even the swatches with the drawings look a little strange when the bed is against a wall and the head is to the right.
If I spin that swatch around and zoom in, it looks fine.
I am playing on PC with a no-mod/cc save (never modded) and my graphics are set to ultra.
So, long story short, my workaround is simply to reorient the bed in a way that the swatches look good, and the gray square does not appear.
I hope this helps!
