Ceilings have outdoor lighting unless there is a room with a ceiling above it.

Please fix this as it is driving me absolutely INSANE. I can't bear to even play because its driving me so mad. Please, please, please. FIX THIS! The coloration of ceilings is the awful blue toned "outdoor lighting" when there isn't a room with a ceiling above it. So if you have a house with the second floor covering only half of your living room, then half of the ceiling in the living room is normal, and the other half is the awful blue tone.

This is a terrible visual bug that is SIGNIFICANTLY decreasing my gameplay experience, and decreasing the time that I want to play the game. I load in, try to deal with it, and within 10 minutes I have exited the game and moved on to another.

I miss normal ceilings. Please fix.

  • The ceilings in every build i make look like they are outside when its inside a room that is fully closed off. This happens only if the level above doesn't have a full room above it. Attached is a screenshot of a single story house with the ceiling bug. I've only noticed this bug since the latest update for lovestruck.

    I noticed this too when I decided to play The Sims 4 on July 27, 2024 (Saturday), after hoping that the 2 hotfix updates they released would mean The Sims 4 is fine to play now, but NOPE!! After finishing with CAS and building the house to my likings (and saving afterwards), I was ready to do my usual thing of taking screenshots, until I realized that the ceiling look weird. Then I decided to do some research online, only to find out that it's a widespread problem that apparently WASN'T fixed! I actually kinda went into tears when I realized this, and now I'm STILL waiting for them to fix this because it's such an eyesore, making it a problem for Simmers who take lots of screenshots when playing! I don't think I've ever been so frustrated about a Sims 4 bug before!

    I will note that what I did that day will be a head start for my Sims 4 Session, so it wasn't necessarily all for nothing.

    I have the exact same problem after the latest update. It also happens only when there is no room above the ceiling. 

  • I am so upset with this way cant it be fixed ASAP? All my ceilings in all builds are light blue, in old and new builds, this is very frustrating and only happened after the Lovestruck update. This might not be important to some. But I spent a lot of money on these sims 4 games and respectfully expect to get the bugs fixed. This happens with or with out Mods or CC. Please tell me when this will be resolved or how I can resolve it. Thank you.

    Outdoor lighting will no longer affect inside the room through ceilings. Let there be (proper) light.
