Grass is darker than the surrounding lot

Hello!! im hoping someone might have some help!

I'm building in brindleton bay, top right 40x40 lot. i don't have any terrain paint grass covering the lot however the grass is darker than the surrounding world grass around the lot. i have tried repairing my game, turning mods off and bulldozing the lot and the terrain. it does this on any lot I go onto as well. it kind of feels like there's just a big shadow covering the entire lot making the grass really dark. I'm not sure how to get a screenshot from the game ;-;

  • @EdenHawthorne Hi!  That sort of sounds like possibly a mod issue. Are you using any mods?

    Also, on PC, you can just press C on the keyboard to get a full screen shot of the game.  I usually use the Windows Snipping Tool which allows you to capture a portion of your screen.

    Hi, I have exactly the same problem. All lots in all worlds are affected. This bug has only appeared since the first patch for "My Wedding Stories". I removed all CC and mods, deleted all cache files and repaired my game. Nothing worked. Not even a new save did anything. I have all packs and my game is up to date.

    I took some screenshots.

    What I noticed is that it only affects the terrain. Where floor tiles have been set, the floor looks normal. And you only see it at certain times of the day.

    In Tartosa it is mainly seen at noon and at night. And the shadows on the deco buildings in the world look weird too.

    You need to test in a clean game folder, not just moving out a few files/folders. Move or rename the Sims 4 folder in Documents > Electronic Arts then launch the game so it creates a new one. Then go to the Lots you're having problems with and see if it's still there.
