Lighting Broken in Sims 4

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Cats & Dogs, City Living, Get Together, Get to Work, Parenthood, Vampires, Dine Out, Spa Day, Outdoor Retreat, Kids Room Stuff, Movie Hangout Stuff, Spooky Stuff, Cool Kitchen Stuff, Perfect Patio Stuff, Luxury Party, Holiday Celebration, Life of the Party Digital Content
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? It occurs when ever playing the game, the lighting is not present and can not be change through the settings
What happens when the bug occurs? The game's lighting is broken. All objects, sims, and buildings do not cast shadows
What do you expect to see? Load the Game, Load an existing household, Lighting is present
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. I updated my game to the patch given out 11/9/17. On 11/10/17 I downloaded and installed Cats & Dogs without any issues

As I said previously, shadows after the patch and install of Cats & Dogs are apparently broken for some reason. I've tried closing the game, re-launching, as well as changing the graphics settings.
