[LS] [DHD] Lighting issues with modular furniture/sink on higher floor penthouse

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.108.335.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Build anything 2 stories tall or higher on any penthouse lot (excluding Drake and Wyvern Hall in Britechester. Then place any modular surface on the second floor(excluding counters) and add lights 
What happens when the bug occurs? all modular surfaces excluding counters (cabinets also do this) , on the second floor of penthouse are lit as if they're outside if they're close to the floor and get super lighted when placed higher. If i remove an exterior wall or the ceiling it becomes normal again. Spa day sink seems to have the same issue as well
What do you expect to see? modular surfaces and sink to be lit up properly on all floors
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. installed latest patch and expansion

it's an issue with the lots themselves. Also tried bulldozing completely the penthouses and built 3 square floors on top of each other.   No trims no platforms , no windows nothing just 3 stacked boxes. Added lights and same thing happens just on the second floor. When there are no lights at all , it's fine. As soon as lights are added the bug happens.

Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Adjusted Title

    No idea , it's the first time I encountered the issue and it's in this particular lot. I'll have to check the other ones, and I'll get back to you tonight. Will edit this answer so I won't clog the post. 

    UPDATE: @crinrict you are correct ,I tested all the penthouses in game i'm getting the issue on all of them but two , just on the second floor. Drake Hall and its twin Wyvern Hall in Britechester do not have the issue.

    Edited initial post as well with the new info 

  • I noticed some lighting issues with the Dream Home Decorator modular shelving after the update. At first I assumed it was an issue with my mods, but after removing my mods folder I was still seeing the issue. Basically, any piece of the modular wall shelving turns extremely dark when it gets far enough down the wall. Higher up on the wall it's fine, but if it gets too close to the floor it suddenly has extremely dark shadows cast over it. I only noticed this occurring after the most recent update as of the making of this post.

    @crinrict oh the post you linked described my exact issue! I'm also having the problem on the second floor of a penthouse lot in the new world!
  • Further Update. Noticed the same issue on Langraab, Spire and Zenview Apartments in San Myshuno. All having the issue only on the second floor too.
