Glowing Shell Objects Causing Irregular Lighting

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? 1.112.519.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Open willow creek neighbourhoods or an apartment that uses a shell via build mode and turn on nighttime
What happens when the bug occurs? You will see that the neighboring house shells or the apartment shell have a really odd glow, which i found out is caused by some changed around Eco Lifestyle era when Rim Lights got applied to LargeObject shaders causing them to glow now 
What do you expect to see? I expect the shells to no longer glow and return to their previous shading tech so they match the architecture players build with. 
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

It's incredibly noticeable with apartment shells as apartments are a mix of an object and real walls, so having those be completely differently shaded is truly detrimental to the visual look of apartments and takes away from the immersion that it's a full building.
Please fix this. Attached a screenshot showing the differences before vs now.

  • This problem is old, and so far no sign of fixes. The decorative houses have it, the apartments in San Myshuno too. Just terrible.

  • so this explains why apartments look so fake now. cuz in old lets play videos of simmers u can see them looking normal
