@Ninnifer18 I'm fairly stumped on this too. One thing you might try, since you believe the change happened with Seasons, would be to uninstall the game and then reinstall it only up through the content pre-Seasons and then test to see if the lighting is correct again pre-Seasons. You will probably need to disable automatic game updates from Origin application settings, so that Origin won't automatically install everything. I'm going to move this thread to the technical forum, as I think you may be able to get more help there. I am not really a "techie" when it comes to hardware/application issues and interactions, but there are people there who are.
I was afraid you would suggest this... Honestly.. not only am I terrified of trying this, I also really don't want to deal with Origin's BS.. I don't know how to turn off automatic updates or anything and I don't know how I would even go about installing content individually. I've never uninstalled the sims4, I've only ever done fresh installs on new computers, and it's been awhile since I did that... I'm very concerned about my saves and my files in general. I get told to backup everything all the time but I honestly don't know how to do that either.
As much as it physically pains me to do so, I could try to uninstall the game and reinstall it, but I honestly have no idea how well it would work. In the past, with Sims4 and previous sims games, any time I have ever uninstalled and reinstalled a game, or done a fresh install, my game would always have the exact same bugs.. and a plethora of brand new bugs. I hope I don't sound like I'm just making up excuses to NOT do this, I do want my game to function properly.. but honestly, I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to these things and I'm scared that if I do go and spend hours doing this, it will all be for nothing. I wish I could just hand this off to someone who is more tech savvy than I am so you (and everyone else) could be working with someone more competent.
