Lights not working

Question

Hello, I recently "renovated" my house for my sims. I used spandrels for a few of the walls to give it an "open" concept. After renovating, the lights were working well. But afterward, I added this painting and bb.moveobjects the plant and the painting, the lights stopped working. I thought maybe because of the open concept so I added walls to the areas where it is open but the lights still aren't working. I deleted and re-bought the lights and it still didn't work.

I restarted my game and it also didn't work. I tried changing the colours of the lights and it still didn't work. This problem only applies to the main area aka where the living room, dining room, and kitchen are, and the second level living room has the same problem. But all the other rooms like bathrooms and bedrooms are working. Please help!

Pictures are down below.

@infinitestars2In the first pic, if those are spandrels and not arches/doorways, then I suspect that's the problem. The room isn't closed off. The entire living room is basically one big porch.

I don't know why the lights wouldn't be working though, they should work even on an open porch like that.

It's hard to tell without looking at the build itself.

@PsychotpsOh, I see, is there a way to fix this? I tried adding walls before to make it closed off but the lights still didn't work and the second level is completely closed off and yet the lights are not working as well. Thank you so much for your response!

@infinitestars2 Well, it might be because since the first floor isn't a "room", you don't have a wall on one side. I think this makes the second floor "open" as well since it's connected directly to the open space by stairs.

Try closing off the entire first floor. You might be able to "open" it up by putting in arches, big ones, instead.

Can you put it up on the gallery so we can take a look?

@Psychotps Yeah sure, also I added a roof to the balcony area and now the lights do work but sometimes it doesn't too. Is there any hashtag I need to add?

@infinitestars2 Just give us your userid you use in the game and share the lot. If you have a lot of lots already shared, then the name of the lot also.
