Months later, I discovered the feature was not bugged but disabled for no reason. It could be because the shadows did not generate well but I did regenerate every single lot thumbnail and only 5 lots out of the hundreds were messy.
To enable these shadows back, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\res (the path might vary, this is the install directory of the game). You go to the ThumbnailConfig file and open, search up [WorldMapLot] and in that paragraph, go to EnableShadowPlane and change false to true. And that's how you get back the shadows that make your builds look higher quality.
The file will be reset if the game gets repaired or updated so keep that in mind.
