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? 1.69.57.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get Famous, Seasons, Cats & Dogs, City Living, Get Together, Journey to Batuu, Parenthood, Dine Out, Outdoor Retreat, Tiny Living, Moschino, Romantic Garden, Holiday Celebration Pack, Grim's Ghoulish Guitar
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Place the "Scattered Panes Embiggened" window in a style other than the default one and observe the shadow it projects based on the time of day.
What happens when the bug occurs? The shadow acts as though you are using the default style when the window is placed. The shadow looks like "scattered panes" instead of the square panes in the instance where I discovered the bug.
What do you expect to see? The shadow would reflect the style of window used. Square pane style would show a shadow with square panes.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
When observing the shadow casted by the "Scattered Panes Embiggened" window I noticed the shadow acts as though I placed the default style that is initially previewed while browsing windows. In this instance, I used a style with square panes, but I see that the shadow casted doesn't change.
