@Lexurielle They fixed it for the walls-completely-down view. So, it should be an easy fix to correct the other two views (walls-cutaway and walls-up).

I was really expecting that it would be fixed by now in one of the last couple of patches.

Such a little thing, but, with all the other bugs they need to fix, it would be nice if they could at least manage an easy one like this.

@stjmk Very surprised this didn't make the laundry list.

Same issue here. NO mods. Brand new download on brand new hard drive, still had the issue. No need to add pictures, because they're already here. But I will say it's a storytelling nightmare and you have to either not have mirrors, which creates issues when you really need them for a shot, or reconfigure entire rooms to be sure no walls with windows or doors reflect.

@stjmk If it it easy to fix is not certain, but the issue accured since they made the changes to shift the windows around on walls and that was last year september with the Star Wars patch. You would think that this would be fixed by now, but no, They only fixed what you've already mentioned and left us with the rest. they rather bring out more and more useless packs which "nobody asked for" and bring even more bugs into the game like those Kits *sigh*

@LuvMySimz Actually, after that update to move the windows, there was a different reflection glitch where only the outer frame of windows and arches with the wall (not opening) showing inside the window/archway in reflection.

So, they managed to fix that one, partially. But the only view that it is completely fixed so that reflection is correct is the walls-completely-down view.

Walls-up and walls-cutaway are the views that have the new walls-clipping in reflection problem.

And since they managed to get the reflection to work correctly in the walls-completely-down view, it should be an easy fix to get reflections to work for the remaining two view options as well.

@LuvMySimz Some day. It's kinda sad 'cuz this one seems like an easy-peasy fix compared to some of the others. And it would be so worth it.

Please describe the patch or change you made. It was the patch after they claimed to have fixed the doors and windows with the star wars patch. Not sure which update they CLAIMED to have FIXED them.

I am really angry. I just wish this would get fixed because I have waited forever. I can't take any good screenshots when there are mirrors in the shot because it looks ugly with the bug and all.

@SimplyDeeSims Could you please update your game ?

The mirror has a thread here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-Walls-disappearing-Clipping-in-mirror-reflection/t...

Cut-out issues have a thread here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-Almost-secure-safety-window-cutout-gap/td-p/947959...

Do you have any other issues (you need to batch fix cc windows separately)

Good Luck
