Thank you! That's really helpful. Which model Mac do you have? Do you think it's the exact same issue or a different one? Because this issue only affected low spec. Intel chips before it was fixed.
- Does the mirror need to be in the same room as the sim or just anywhere on the lot?
- Do you have a screenshot too with mirrors present and without for comparison?
- Instead of editing the GraphicsRules, does changing the reflections setting in the game options also get rid of it?
I may split this into its own thread as a new issue.
@Bluebellflora The model of the iMac: Retina 4K, 21.5 inches, 2019 / 3,2 GHz Intel Core i7 de 6 core / 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4
The problem is the same as in this thread I think from what I've seen on other people's screenshots. In my trials I noticed some other things that seem to trigger the glitch, but first your questions:
- The mirror doesn't need to be on the same room, but I think it happens when is visible. I haven't checked it to be 100% sure but having mirrors on the lot and not on screen doesn't trigger the glitch.
- Find the screenshots attached.
- Changing the reflection settings to "off" got rid of it yes, but then I lost the water reflections, that was when I tried changing the GraphicsRules to only get rid of the mirror reflections.
Things that triggered the glitch "unrelated" to mirrors:
- Hovering over an object to select it. I tried the "hovereffects off" cheat and it got rid of the glitch when hovering on an object, BUT when I selected to make the action and the white outline appeared the glitch happened again (this was before trying anything with the mirrors).
As you can see on the screenshots, when I had mirrors on the bathroom and visible on screen, hovering over any object caused the glitch, but having reflections off or no mirrors on the lot and hovering didn't trigger it. I think (not 100% sure) having the reflections "on" but beeing too far to have the reflection shown on screen also doesn't display the glitch, maybe that's what makes it seem so random.
Let me know if you want me to do any more tests!

Another test:
Reflections "on" with post processing effects "on" doesn't trigger the glitch, but when I turnt it "off" it triggers it. See screenshots, changed ingame without restarting.

Superb testing - thank you! Really helpful and informative.
I've split your posts into a new thread for now because the issue for Intel chips was fixed in the 1.63.133.1220 patch in June. Would you mind attaching your Config.log file here? It gives a great overview of your hardware and settings.
