[S] Neighborhood houses without snow on the roof

Seasoned Ace

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Português
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.110.311.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? ALL OF THEM (11/17/2024)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Simply check the decorative buildings in various worlds, especially those in Willow Creek during extended periods of snow, to confirm that they are no longer covered in snow—at most, they appear slightly whitewashed. When you move the camera and get closer to these decorative buildings, the roof may flicker between dense snow coverage and no snow coverage.
What happens when the bug occurs? Decorative buildings are not being fully covered by snow, and in many cases, not covered at all. Additionally, depending on camera movement, the roof starts flickering between snow-covered and snow-free states. This issue is occurring in multiple worlds, such as Willow Creek and Windenburg. I haven't tested every world to identify all the locations where this bug happens, as it would be too time-consuming.
What do you expect to see? The buildings should be fully covered in dense snow after being exposed to snowfall for an extended period, as they used to be. Additionally, the roofs should not flicker, alternating the snow state based on camera movement.
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? Neutral/Not Sure

The reported bug affects decorative buildings in The Sims 4 and involves the following issues:

Lack of Proper Snow Coverage:

Decorative buildings, which are supposed to be fully covered in dense snow after extended exposure to snowfall during winter, are not being covered correctly. In many cases, they remain only slightly whitewashed or have no snow coverage at all.

Roof Flickering Issue:

When moving the camera and zooming closer to these decorative buildings, their roofs flicker between states of dense snow coverage and no snow coverage. This inconsistency creates a distracting visual effect.

Multiple Worlds Affected:

This issue has been observed in several worlds, including Willow Creek and Windenburg. However, a full test across all worlds has not been conducted due to the time it would require.
The issue occurs in both DX9 and DX11.

Expected Behavior:

Decorative buildings should become densely covered with snow after prolonged exposure, as they did previously.
Roofs should maintain a consistent snow state and not flicker based on camera movements.
The buildings in all worlds affected by this issue should be fixed. Therefore, it is necessary to check all worlds to see how decorative buildings behave after being exposed to snow for an extended period.
