In the photo you can see it glitch through the wall and curtain, the second photo are the trees that cause it, note this is the 64x64 lot in windenburg. This also is not a hardware issue as I have multiple laptops, this seems to occur with frozen trees in winter that clip through objects and walls, note this also occurs with sims as well, no matter the distance it will clip however its worst the closer it is.

    @crinrict I've done some light testing, and it seems that it may be a winter-exclusive problem. Yes, my problem and the other thread you linked have the same effects and parameters.

    @Kyr0e Thank you for you feedback. I merged your post then. You may want to click the me too button.

    I was going to change the title but if you say it's winter for you too, I'm going to leave it as is.

    Hi. I've recently had this happen in my game. I couldn't figure out what was making the lines on my screen and then I figure it out that it was the trees. My game season is currently in fall atm and I am playing in Brindleton Bay. 

    Has anyone found a fix for this?

    Hi, 

    I have  noticed this issue as well.

    I play with mods and Gshade, so initially thought it could be them.

    However, I have tested my game without any mod and with turned off Gshade.

    I have tested it after I removed EA folder and repaired my game though (to be sure).

    Issue is indeed related only to the winter time and only when there is snow on the ground and on foliage. Those thin white lines follow the camera at a certain angle. 

    They do not appear in CAS.

    In my case, I think, its the debug grass from cottage living is giving this glitch, but might be also trees, cant be sure as I have both on my lot.

    In Willow Creek and in Chestnut Ridge, in my game, is snowy winter and both worlds are with mentioned glitch currently.

    I also tested the game in a sunny region, such as Dell Sol  Valley, - no glitch.

    See screenshot.

    Let me know if more files needed for it.

    BR,

    Genevieve.
