I have to correct myself. It happens on all wall heights
medium wall
tall wall - not as bad as short and medium wall heights
Sorry to post again, but as I went through the rest of the lights I found that the lava lamp is even worse even with the ceiling light on.
Most stuff downstairs picks up the color of the lava lamp upstairs.
Here the lamp is on a side table in the corner
and in this picture the whole side wall picks up the color from the lava lamp in the corner
Thanks for going back and doing such exhaustive testing! I'll go back and test again. The effect in your pics shows clearly. I tested on both medium and short walls and did use the lava lamp, among others when I was testing. And I used those curtains that you show in the latest pics as well among others. I had the lamps on a side table too. I also tested it at night in a new build that hadn't been furnished yet but the house was completely enclosed. I just didn't get what you are showing in your pics.
One more question though. Does this happen in both build mode and live mode for you or does it happen in one but not the other? I tested in build mode only so if it is happening for you only in live mode, that might be the difference. This time I will test in live mode too.
So, where does that leave us? Hardware is one candidate I can think of. I play on a desktop PC with a relatively high-end graphics card. I see you play on a PC but is it a desktop or laptop? If this issue is hardware related, tbh, there's not much you'll be able to do about it and will have to live with it.
Other than that, I can't think of anything else that might be causing the issue atm. So, let me do some more testing to see if I can replicate the issue and I'll get back to you.
Hope this helps.
@CGrant56 - I'm on a windows 10 prof. desktop pc with ASUS GeForce® GTX 1050 Ti graphics which is good enough for TS4.
And as I have said, the issue is visible in several lots since we can paint the ceilings. I never had nor noticed this before.
And yes, the issue is visible in build and live mode.I have a favor to ask. Could you pls go and test on the same lot in Windenburg? The lot is called "Havisham" Not sure if it's the same name for you since my game is in German.
Right now I'm on another lot also in Windenburg where the two girls "Freigeister" live. The lot is called "Landhaus am See" (in German) and it looks like on this lot the light issue does not show. This makes me think that the lighting problem only occurs on some plots, not all, for whatever reason. Will test in another world later.
Ok, I tested on a lot called "Sims Square" in Windenburg and the same issue in there. But here comes my find!
The reason for the lighting issue is the STAIRS!
For some reason the stairs are the culprit for the light issue. I know we have stairs issues lately but that? Who would have guessed...
When I remove the stairs, the pinkish light issue is gone. - Check out my little video clip taken on the "Havisham" lot.
