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? 1.50.67.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? I have everything available installed
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Build a fountain with a center cutout. Apply any fountain trim. The trim surrounding the cutout will be a darker/different color.
What happens when the bug occurs? ...it looks horrible.
What do you expect to see? Matching fountain trim in the center cutout.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
One of each style of fountain trims are on the top row of fountains. The center cutout is darkened in any lighting conditions but are darkest in the morning (and look the same from all camera angles). Bottom row of fountains are all using pool trim and all look correct. Tested with a GTX 1070ti and an Intel HD graphics 3000, same results. Tested with and without MODS- same result. Same result on a new save file, vanilla game.
Solved! Go to Solution.

@SimQARoboThis isn't a major issue but I am curious to know if this issue is on the team's radar of issues to be fixed. I reported this in March, it's October now and I am still able to reproduce the issue. If it's not going to be fixed then I will discontinue updating this thread. Please let me know, thanks!
