Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Polski

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Compare the lighting of any of the plants that are in the screen shot that I've attached before placing and after placing inside of a room
What happens when the bug occurs? Those plants change color to very dark, even if the room is lit properly.
What do you expect to see? Proper lighting for those plants.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

When placing certain potted plants inside of a room, they appear to have different lighting then any other items, making them very dark and impossible to use inside. I've noticed this issue immediatly after the Jungle Adventure release with the potted plants that were added in that game pack. I'd also see it happening in youtubers videos, so I'm pretty sure it's in everyone's game.
My guess is that certain potted plants are meant for the outside hence have different lighting, because it gets very bright in the sunlight and they need to be darkened for that reason. The issue is that the plants that came with Jungle Adventure, wall wreaths and that wall decor with flowers inside that came with Seasons and those plants in 3 sizes that came with Get Together should definietly be adjusted to be placed on the outside as well as on the inside.

    @Eldircora merging with original report for this issue.  Note that the developers have stated that this behavior is by design.
