Hello.Just noticed this the other day and I can't really remember if they looked like this when I first downloaded and placed the house from gallery.Basically, some of the trees have squares for leaves (can kind of still see the leaves though), but it doesn't seem to be affecting all trees (like the trees behind the house and the one right next to the boxy tree off to the righthand side of the photo).I have checked again today and it's still showing up like this.Any suggestions would be appreciated!

@Bluebellflora Hello! I will test out the tree on a different lot and get back to you. The lot is called Magnolia Wood Cabin by madamredo. Thank you!

@Bluebellflora hello again! opened up my game today and somehow the trees were back to normal - honestly not sure what happened there but thank you for trying to help me out!

@flynnguine It looks like your graphics card isn't able to properly render the tree texture. If you place this tree on a different lot does it still happen? Do you have the Lot name? I can download into my game and test.

I play on low graphics settings because I’m on a laptop, and the trees often look like that when I’m zoomed out. When I zoom back in they render properly - I just assumed it was not bothering to fully render stuff that’s further away, due to the settings.

I also have this bug. I'm trying to see if it has anything to do with my mods.I don't know if you use mods or not, but if you do try to deactivate them and reopen the game again. If the bug is still there it must be something else.I have tried to repair my game, but it had no effect on the bug/glitch.

I don't know about ts, but for me, this happens just minutes after starting the game and it affects all trees and some other plants. It got worse after the latest update.
I will try to update my graphics card and see if it could be that. Thank you for suggesting that.

@Bluebellflora Hi again. I can now confirm it is not my graphics card that causes it. Maybe it could be some issue with the latest update?

Yes, it may be an issue with your specific GPU and something in the latest patch. Can you provide the full specs of your machine?

@Kissekott Hello! I do use mods and I'm just wondering what kind of mods I need to look out for that could affect or cause this?

@flynnguine @Kissekott

Providing your computer specs would really help. I downloaded into my game, no issue. Build mode and live mode:

I'm on a 2020 M1 MacBook Air running 13.4. Clean game, no Mods or CC but I don't think that's the issue here.
