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.
Great! I'm glad you found it. I did do some more testing today and still couldn't replicate it so I didn't have any good news for you. It makes a little more sense knowing it is the stairs and the light is getting to the lower floor through the stair opening. The rooms I was testing in didn't have stairs in them so I never would have found it. Stairs have always done some weird things with lighting like if you ever look at the stair rails on the floor above the stair, the upper part of the railing is always darker but if you turn a light on below, they brighten up. So, it doesn't really surprise me that light does transfer the other way (up to down).
Regardless, I am glad you found it. I don't know if there is much to be done about it though other than enclose the stair with walls. But at least knowing why it happens is a good thing imo.
Enjoy your game!! Take care.
- @CGrant56 Thank you! And thank you for not ignoring my thread and taking the time to reply and test. Without your reply and participation, I might not have continued testing and would not have found the problem and just give up like most everybody else.
This shows once again that it's important not to simply ignore threads just because almost nobody has them and blame it all on mods and cc. After all, you don't pull problems like this out of your fingers as my pictures and video prove shows. Removing the stairs on lots with the lighting issue does solve the problem, but should not be the #1 solution for the player.
Thanks again for your participation ♥ You're Welcome! Enjoy your game!!
