Lights Broken with Life & Death

Since playing L&D, I've noticed that I'm no longer able to change the color of lights no matter if it's a new game or a current save. When attempting to change the color, they default to white and remain white despite choosing a different color.

I've also noticed that the color picker does not go away unless I enter build mode and return to live mode. Shift+clicking lights in Build mode does not work either.

I do have mods enabled and have the following Lighting mods installed:
-Sunblind
-Out of the Darkness (OOTD)

Both have been updated for L&D as far as I can tell.

Did L&D break lights? I'd like to make spooky lots but can't when everything is bright white.

  • i've been having the same issue. i'm going to try playing without mods enabled to see if that fixes it.

    Good to know it's not a mod issue! Hopefully someone with a fix will eventually see this and we can get our pretty lights back. 😭

    Update Better Build Buy by twistedmexi he just fixed the lights.

  • after updating my game to version 1.118, i cannot set lights color or intensity. i cannot do it in any lights (wall, ceiling, etc). i select the option to do it (i tried 'all lights', 'single light' and 'room light') and nothing happens. i cannot even see colors options. i tried with no mods and the problem persists. already tried to reset the lights, tried change the lot type and tried moving out, and then moving in the family again.

    i discovered the problem was mccommand center. even though i had it updated (version 2025.6.0),  i had the headline effects disabled. when i enabled it, the problem was resolved.
