@Vulnnn It looks to me like you were using one of the glass dance floors as a skylight in your images; is that correct? If so, I can confirm that the sim does not cast a shadow within it in my game either. However, an object will, when placed within a specific corner (but in no other location). As in your first image, the sim will generate a shadow when standing *outside* and to the corner of the lighted area. I think we probably need to tag @SimQARobo about this one, because I am not sure whether it's a bug or not. On the one hand, the glass dance floors may not be coded in the same way as regular windows and thus may not take all shadows into account. On the other hand, it's very strange that a shadow from a sim or object will appear but only in a very specific location. Here are a couple of screen shots I took of the issue with an object:

Windows shadows work most of the time, Its just the lighting dont make sense for sims and furniture because the chair in this image is fully lit up by the sun and the sim is dark as if theres 0 light coming from the window?

I have a problem on my laptop all of a sudden where walls inside have outdoor lighting. It doesn't matter if i have floors above or roofs, it's the same. I also just updated the game and it's still an issue...

@lloopers Yes, we've got that reported as # 14 on our index and is a known issue:
14. New after the 6/2/16 patch - Laptop mode lighting post the 6/2/16 patch looks as if rooms are missing their ceilings.

The detailed natural lights are bugging.
The shadows of the windows and doors are outside of the building, not inside as they should be.
I tried to delete all of my custom content and mods, but it didn't solved the problem. Then I deleted the game and all the files I had, then downloaded it again, but it's still the same. It occured probably a month ago or so, I can't remember properly.
Do you maybe have an idea what can cause this?

@Myna21 we have that reported here.
To everyone regarding this collection thread:
Since the forum changes, I have gone through and reviewed all of the issues reported in this thread, and for those that still exist, created new, individual postings for them using the new forum format (which lets you specify your addons, mods, etc.). Please see the compilation post here. If you find a new glitch that is not on that list, please create a new thread for it rather than posting on this one, so that EA can better track it, and I will add it to the compilation list if I am able to duplicate it. Thank you!
