Re: Trying to build a house on sims 4 and the room is dark

@Tz300 

Yeah, when you're trying to select wall and floor colors in build mode, it can be a bit dark.  What I do is just keep adding light fixtures until the room lightens up enough for me tell what it really looks like.  I move them around too if I need to.  When I've gotten things the way I want them to be, then I just delete any lighting fixtures that I don't need for live mode.  Adding windows temporarily helps sometimes too, to give you more light to work by.  And I find that using the afternoon setting works better for me for most of my builds.

Hope this helps.

    The only way it goes back light is if I click on one of the walls and I make it a half wall

    What you are seeing is normal.  I see the same thing when I use the room tool to make a room or use the wall tool to make a room.  The darkness comes from no outside light being in the room as it is fully enclosed by walls, floor and ceiling.  There is another thing you can do to lighten a space while you build.  Select the room like you have done in your pic.  Go up a level and click on the yellow outline and delete the ceiling while you work.  When you're done with the room, put the ceiling back.  That won't work if you have a room above though.  

    Hope this helps.
