[TROUBLESHOOT] Lighting not working properly

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 is your current game version number? 1.51.77.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I'm not sure. Nothing necessarily activates the bug for me, it's just a constant thing, nothing I do changes it.
What happens when the bug occurs? Lighting doesn't work properly
What do you expect to see? I expect to see the lighting we got in an update however many years ago. The lighting is supposed to shine through the windows and the glass roofing, but it doesn't.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
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 downloaded Seasons and the lighting we got in an update suddenly stopped working.

So I've kinda already reported this bug, but before, I thought it was just the glass roofing that wasn't working properly, but then I watched a speedbuild on YT and I noticed that the light was shining through their windows onto the floor and I realized.. My game doesn't do that anymore. The cool lighting we got in that patch however many years ago now did work for me, and then when I got Seasons, it went back to the old lighting. It's like the patch never happened. I did test this with and without mods. Nothing changes it.
