- Thank you for letting us know that you have not had any Mods or CC in this PC.
- Can I also clarify something else.... did you copy your game saves from the old computer to this computer, or is this a different game on the current computer?
- I'm glad to hear your water is more like you wanted after changing some settings. As you mentioned, changing the color of the floor tiles and wall tiles in a pool affects the color, as does changing the water color and adding lights on the side of the pool and above it/in the room.
- Are you saying that your graphics are showing as you want them to now and that issue is solved? If not, please clarify. Thank you!
- Were you able to get the lights to display as you wanted?
I'm curious about the fencing I see in the first photo. It seems to be displaying differently, so I wonder if this is a graphics issue/setting or perhaps something else causing an issue with the resolution for it, so perhaps I could have a look in my game to see if it looks the same. It is entirely possible it's just the screenshot or angle, but that's a thought.
If you're still having difficulties with these issues I would be happy to test the build in my game if you would upload it to the gallery calling it something like "Graphics Test" and let me know the exact name of the lot and if your name is the same in the gallery so I can find it.
EDIT: I've consulted with a couple of other helpers and have an additional couple of requests per directions:
- Do you have "laptop mode" enabled? If it is enabled please try disabling it and see if this helps with the graphics issues.
- Can you please provide a DxDiag for your computer?

@diopter77 I'm so sorry about your headache!! Please take care of yourself! We look forward to hearing what you found out when trying the ideas, what improvements you see with your new graphics card, and to hearing the feedback and receiving the DxDiag.... Once you're feeling better. Take care! 🤞

@diopter77 Thank you for the new pics and the information.
Not sure if you saw my note about the following:

It sounds like there may be some issues on this specific lot. Can I also have you try the following:
- Save this home to your library.
- Place your home onto a different lot. See if the issues show when placed on a different lot, including if your butterfly lights work.
- Can you also share that lot to the gallery per my previous directions so I could test it in my game?
Note: You will need to scroll down a bit in the Graphics Options window to see the 'Laptop Mode' option, which should be un-checked. You do not want laptop mode on/checked. Please see screenshot. Then save ('apply changes'), exit, and re-enter the game to see if this helped.
