Objects getting recoloured with other objects' patterns??

I'm having an issue with objects getting recoloured at random using another objects pattern (texture may be a more appropriate word choice...). Below is an example of it happening to some planters. If you look at the middle picture, you'll see that it has the pattern from the message board in the CL apartment (the message board is shown on the left). On the right is what happens when I move my mouse over it-it returns to the colour I set for it.

If I go into BB, I can change the colours to something else and they'll stick for a bit and then when they start messing up, I can change them back to what I originally had, but that's kind of annoying as sometimes there aren't other colours that fit with the decour.

I've had this issue with the following objects (and likely some others that I'm not remembering):
-the vertical planters
-the Scout board
-the conveyor belt on the recycling machine
-the flower arranging table
-the edge of paintings that my Sims have made

I don't remember when I first noticed it and it isn't the end of the world, but it is a bit annoying. Has it happened to anyone else and have you found a fix?

Thanks!

  • Are people just combing through the game to find something to complain about at this point?
  • Weird, I have never seen that happen to anyone. My first guess is that this is a mod/cc issue, if that is not the case, then maybe a game repair could help.

    Nope! I have four families on rotation at the moment and this has been an issue with all of them. I'm not complaining for the sake of complaining, just asking if anyone else has seen this issue and had a fix.

    The only mod I regularly use is one that makes the sunbeams from Eco Lifestyle not show because they cause a lot of lag. Even without that mod on, I have seen this issue. I don't have any CC.

    Do you happen to be playing in laptop mode or low graphics settings?


    Yes! These are my full graphics settings. Is there one you would recommend changing that won't have a major impact on my game becoming laggy?

  • I don't really have any suggestions but I have heard about graphic glitches when playing in laptop mode or low graphic settings. I would turn it off and check and see if the problem still persists, if it does then I would file a report. If it clears up then you know it's caused by your graphics settings and there's probably not much you can do.
  • I would always recommend turning off laptop mode, it's hideous, makes a lot of visual issues and just makes everything in the game look terrible. Even lowest everything without laptop mode is better than maximum graphics on laptop mode
  • Turn off uncompressed textures. That is for people with good graphics cards. Turn off laptop mode. That causes a lot of visual errors. And I'd also set the draw distance and lighting to medium. That should help the game run a little smoother.
