Several Fireplaces Project Light from Fire Backwards
Expansion Pack: Horse Ranch
Mods/CC Used: None
Description:
The "Sturdy Ranch Fireplace" from the Horse Ranch expansion pack has an issue with its lighting. The light source appears to be reversed — it emits light in the wrong direction, as if the fire is facing backwards.
Because of this, when the fireplace is placed against a wall (as it's clearly intended to be), it emits no visible light into the room. Instead, the light seems to go behind the wall, which makes indoor lighting look incorrect and unrealistic.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Place the "Sturdy Ranch Fireplace" against any wall in Build/Buy mode.
2. Enter Live Mode or toggle lighting to night mode.
3. Observe that the light is not being emitted into the room as expected.
Expected Result:
The fireplace should light up the room in front of it, not behind the wall.
Actual Result:
No light is cast into the room, making the fireplace visually incorrect.
Additional Notes:
I'm not using any mods or custom content. I've also attached a picture showing the issue.
