There are currently 4 trees that have broken shadows in spring and fall. Game has been repaired and cache has been cleared.

Storybook Nursery Kit Crib has boxes which are meant to be drawn flat bows but the shadow mesh includes them which highlights them as boxes
Hi!
The Danger Zone Construction Fence from Businesses and Hobbies don't cast shadows. An image is attached for comparison. Thank you😊
This is an older post from a few months ago that remained on the old forums about Artist Studio Kit and Storybook Nursery Kit (https://forums.ea.com/discussions/the-sims-4-bug-reports-archive-en/open-snk-ask-alpha-channels-missing-or-not-rendering-properly/11691856), but it was partially addressed as I see that backface culling has been fixed and sides appear as intended in SNK. But the shadows are still an issue, as they cast flat faces. This isn't an issue with other items that use alpha channels like windows or trees.
Artist Studio Kit alas still has the same issue with the Studio Drape Backdrop item, where the item is essentially one-sided, and the back of it casts no shadows. Whilst looking for the items, I've noticed that the Crafted Coverings curtain from High School Years also casts no shadow, unlike its short wall counterpart (Woven Wonder Drapes).
So ultimately I've decided to try and find a few more items that have wrong/no shadows that would be noticeable indoors, such as curtains or windows.
Two other trees have broken shadows

An addition to this post: Broken shadows on trees
Hi, both of the Frost Your House Double Door doorDouble3x1 (medium) and Frost Your House Tall Double Door doorDouble3x1 (tall) are casting the wrong shadows when changing to another swatch with different stencils.
This was reported many years ago alongside the matching CL windows (which were fixed on patch 115) , but the devs left these 2 CL Doors out.
As you can see in the attached image, the Romeo & Juliet Arbor displays a shadow which includes the fabric drapes even when a swatch without the drapes is selected.
To reproduce the issue, simply purchase and place the Romeo & Juliet Arbor in any open outdoor area and select a swatch that does NOT have visible fabric drapes.
