Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Travel to the romance festival.
What happens when the bug occurs? The ground at the festival is jet black. It only affects the area covered by the festival, so from the food stalls to the paintings and from the plants and love guru over to the entrance to the festival. The mosaic decoration is still on the ground and everything else is exactly as it usually is, it's just the ground that's wrong. It's jet black, as if someone has covered it with a black tarpaulin and stood everything else on it. The rest of the city location looks as it should, concrete everywhere else except for the festival area.
What do you expect to see? Concrete city streets as usual.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console, never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes. Patches/updates since the end of February and adding Carnaval Streetwear and decor to the max kits.
So I think this may be a bug. I'm on Xbox series S and it's a while since I've been able to travel to the romance festival without crashing, finally managed it and it looks all wrong.
Now the ground specifically where the festival takes place appears to be jet black. It looks a little like the bug with Evergreen Harbour ground being blue.
The mosaic effects are still there as usual but the concrete is gone or is now black. The surrounding area leading up to the apartments and bar are all as they should be, regular concrete paving.
I had a Sim that lived there a few weeks ago and the ground was normal. It seems to be related to the festival, the whole staging area is the only area affected. I've got the issue with plants looking messed up at the romance festival too so it all looks quite a sight.
I'm checking if it's intentional or if it is a bug.

- @simsplayer818 Have you uninstalled and reinstalled the game and all it's packs? There may be some game corruption causing the issue.
