[HSY] Both PC Screens Have Transparency Issues

Whenever my sim live-streams on the ultra-wide computer or the Streamer's First Computer from High School Years the screen appears transparent. I can see the back face of the monitor instead of the background screen on the computer. This has been happening since the pack released with or without mods. During other activities the screen appears normal, even when doing the SimsChat activity.

  • Hi,

    Today, I'm sharing a visual bug that I've been encountering for a while and that still hasn't been fixed. I don't know if I'm the only one experiencing it, but it's annoying. I also don't know if this issue has already been shared, but I haven't seen anyone mention it.

    This is one of the computers that comes with the ‘High School Years’ expansion pack. As you can see in the image below, the vertical screen displays the content transparently. 

    However, the screen should not be transparent since it is opaque when viewed from behind.

    I would like to point out that this bug is present even without the use of custom content and even after uninstalling and reinstalling the entire Sims 4 game.

    I hope that sharing this will generate enough visibility for the bug to be fixed or for me to find a solution. 

    Have a nice day, everyone :)

    I first noticed this bug about a year ago when I started playing The Sims 4 more intensively. Looking at the dates of community mod fixes, it seems this issue has been present since the release of High School Years.

    As FalconSims​ mentioned, this error occurs with both computers:

    Streamer’s First Computer (12EPGenStarterPC):

    The entire screen becomes transparent as soon as it is used, regardless of the activity. You can see the wall behind the desk through the monitor.

    Competitive Gamer’s Dual-Screen (12EPGenExpertPC):

    The bug generally appears while the Sim is playing games and likely during most other interactions, except for "Practicing Programming." The specific issue is that the central vertical bar on the screen is broken. As the image shows, the screen graphic is missing there, and you are looking straight through the display at the back of the monitor itself.

    Game Version: 1.123.66.1030 (PC) | DirectX 11 | Ultra Settings | No Mods/CC
