Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English

What is your current game version number? 1.47.49.1020

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? By going to terrain paint and trying to apply it to a flat or elevated surface

What do you expect to see? Terrain should apply to the appropriate surfaces
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The latest patch that updated the game to 1.47.49.1020

Terrain Paints & Laptops:
While in laptop mode the terrain paints will now display. They were just being a little shy and hiding from sight. We’ve worked with them on their confidence and offered them a cookie. It was enough to get them out from under the table and back into your game. Finicky little things. But they’re good paints.
Fixed in Patch 1.47.51
I know some people had slightly different issues and I don't know if this fix applies to them (including sound).
If you still have issues, please create a new thread (if the sound bug isn't fix, make a new thread for that too)
It seems it's still not working for integrated chips. Use this thread to post if you have a integrated graphics chip: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/TO-ADD-Terrain-Paint-not-working-integrated-graphics-chips/m-p...

Seems this issue is related to laptop mode.

This is a similar, but not the same issue. I definitely do not have laptop mode on, I have removed all mods/cc, cleared the cache and repaired, just incase. I can terrain paint fine, but there is no longer any sound when painting and I no longer have any guide to brush size whilst I'm painting. Not a huge issue since it's all still working, but painting in a driveway took me ages now I can't see where the paint will be applied.
