Moon Texture still has lower quality and is not solid/black

I am writing this post to report a problem with the texture of the moon phases. Apparently, all phases of the moon, with the exception of the full moon and the new moon, have a texture problem that causes a circle to appear on the moon, as if there were another moon inside the moon.

I verified this bug on a completely new The Sims 4 folder, generated from 0, 

NEW INFORMATION: Apparently, not all worlds have the moon in this buggy way. In Windenburg  and Henford on Bagley, it is buggy. I haven't tested it in all worlds, but there are others where it is ok.

  • Just come here to report that this bug still exists. I didn't save the screenshot because it's still the same, but I believe that I can test it without mods if anyone needs.

    Currently, the world has a unique moon, such as Chestnut Ridge is safe (and very beautiful). Most of the rest are broken. In my case, I found a bug in San Mychuno.

    Although I can test every world to make a chart, I think the bugfix team could reproduce this bug easily. No need to play anything, just let the time pass into the night, and go to check the night sky of every world.

    I hope this visual bug is fixed soon and is not neglected. I don't want to avoid a buggy moon when I take a photo at night anymore.

    *New save / No mods

    To help bugfix staff recognize the bug faster, I tested each world with an unmodded game folder. I will post a screenshot of each world I test as a reference. There will be a few parts because posting over 10 pics will risk being canceled.

    I haven't seen that the inner moon is more solid and darker than the outer one. It looks like a sci-fi movie, which is good for a joke but a disaster for a serious storytelling player.

    Many worlds lost the chance to have a beautiful moon scene because of this forgotten bug!
