Outdoor lighting does not light during the day, even when turned on.

I recently made a castle-type lot for the new Royalty pack and the game is considering the ballroom an outdoor room because it has a fence on one side. Since it is "outdoors" the lighting in the room won't emit light any other time but night (even when turned on). Even on a sunny day, it's dark in there because it's closed off on 3 sides, but on a cloudy day or dawn/dusk, it is so dark! I think it's crazy that I can toggle the lights on but yet they don't emit light. I have seen this issue complained about for years, why is this still a thing? EA, why have you not made it so the player can decide if a light turns on or not? There are multiple light controls, why nerf them from dawn to dusk?
