Question

Product: The Sims 4Platform:PCWhich language are you playing the game in?  EnglishHow often does the bug occur?  Every time (100%)What is your current game version number?  n/aWhat expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed?  All Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves?

Restart game and choose the same lot to enter (again live mode or build mode). What happens when the bug occurs?  The home is lit as if it was subject to exterior lighting. The only time the lighting looks correct is at night.What do you expect to see?  I would expect to see interior lighting differentiated from exterior, even in laptop mode.Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods?  Never used.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system?  YesPlease describe the patch or change you made.  This was new after the 6/2/16 patch.

I don't know what happened, but about a week ago my game started to make my building difficult for me. Outdoor light is on the inside instead of the indoor light. So I know that it if you don't have a ceiling it will do that. I have a ceiling, all walls are built, everything. It even happens when I use the box tool. I tried repairing my game, updating it, taking all of my mods out, and uninstalling and reinstalling . It didn't fix. I watch streamers live and they don't have that problem. I have another laptop that has the sims 4 and it doesn;t do that. If anybody has any ideas on how to fix it please let me know.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Thank you,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;smileysimmer66

@smileysimmer66 merged your thread with the known issue for laptop mode in The Sims 4.&nbsp; Is it possible that you have this laptop set to laptop mode lighting but the other laptop is not?&nbsp; I don't personally have a laptop, so I don't know what you have control over on them when it comes to lighting.
