Since the latest update my automatic lights indoors work like outdoor automatic lights i.e. the lights inside go on when the sun goes down, not when someone enters the room. There is one thing I noticed, this only happens in rooms I use CC windows. So I suppose the game doesn't see them as windows and think it's outdoors. It also happens in rooms that are connected to a room with those CC windows by stairs. When there is a door there is no problem. There is no problem with the fireplace either, that lightens when someone walks in.
By the way, I had those windows installed before the update, and all worked like normal then.
I found out what it causes it. I first removed all CC stuf from the house, that didn't do the trick. Then I realized a new thing I used since the update were ladders. I built a tower on my mansion and the top is reachable by a ladder (love the new ladders by the way :-)). But, the top of the tower has no roof, it's just like a watchtower. And in every room that is attached to that tower, directly by the ladder, or by stairs, the automatic lights work as if they are lights outside. And since in my mansion almost every room has stairs, a lotta rooms were connected to that tower. So now I closed off the tower with a door, instead of it being integrated in the room, and everything works as it should :-)
