when i rebuilt the porch with full walls the dots went away, also the porch/house is elevated.
7Flower7Child7 Are you using ReShade/GShade or anything else that changes how the game looks? If so, please remove that content and repair (EA App > Sims 4 > Manage > Repair OR Steam > Sims 4 > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files). Even if this doesn't help, please let me know whether you've been using one of these utilities, and which one.
I'd also like to know whether all fences cause this or only some. And if it's all fences, try the porch with no walls and no fence, as in, see whether the problem is the fence itself or the fact that the porch is outdoors rather than inside some walls.

Could you please provide the following information
- What graphics card do you have ?
- Did you have this with this build only or with others too ?
- Could you please upload the build to the gallery and post the name here ?
- Are you using mods/cc in your game ? Please remove them and test without them if you do.

Hi 7Flower7Child7,
Have you already repaired the game via the EA app or Steam?
What graphics card do you have? Updating the graphics card driver may fix the problem.
7Flower7Child7 I wasn't asking about normal mods so much as tools that change how the game looks. ReShade and GShade do so, as do lighting mods and perhaps certain other mods. You need to remove all this content, at least while testing. You can always put it back later, at least whatever content doesn't trigger the issue again.

- i haven't tried it anywhere else or on a different house yet
- the name is wrap around porch house, it currently doesn't have a roof i took it off troubleshooting
- i did remove them and the moons/dots are still there
7Flower7Child7 Please remove that mod anyway, and start a new save just to make sure there aren't any lingering effects.
And make sure you're not using any shaders or other utilities included with your graphics driver. For example, Nvidia Freestyle allows players to impose filters in real time.
If that doesn't help, please close the EA App and kill the EABackgroundService in the Task Manager's background processes list. If you use Steam to play Sims 4, close it as well and make sure it's not running in the background. Open [install location]\The Sims 4\Game, here by default:
C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 4\Game
or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Sims 4\Gameand delete the Bin folder. Then repair the game (EA App > Sims 4 > Manage > Repair OR Steam > Sims 4 > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files), and try another new save.
