[OPEN] Doors windows and arches clipping in mirror reflections

[Pamtastic72]

I also have this issue and have included a photo. It shows a dining room china hutch I built with a mirrored back. The dining room arched entry and window are reflected showing wall where the open areas should be. On the far right edge you can see the archway center looks clear as it should.

I’m also having this issue and made a video showing my experience and had fellow simmer take screenshots of their experience

I noticed this too when doing screenshots the other day.  Also, the mirror reflects a rock poking through the ceiling from above, although the rock isn't visible when looking straight at the ceiling.  (whether or not the rock *should* show or not isn't important - as long as the mirror gives an accurate reflection of what is visible when looking directly.)

<< [Update]: Okay so I know the mirror bug is universal, now the problem that I want the developers to be aware of is the lines also. >> Hi, ever since I've decided to finally upgrade my game from 1.53xxxx to the latest version, I've noticed the one way mirror would no reflect my other mirrors or even windows, and it also displays a few grey mesh lines as I go in closer.

@Vaurthakan Since the virus scanner is currently not working and hence your pics not showing, is that the issue you're having: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-Doors-windows-and-arches-clipping-in-mirror/m-p/94... ?

It's actually all mirrors.

EDIT: Merged your thread as it looks like this issue now that your pics are working.

I looked at the mirror too
Oh no !
And apart from posting the problem what is this forum for?
if the devs don't watch it? these are doors and windows from the original game.

Where are the solutions? the answers ? the forum is called
Answers HQ, no?

Hi there , 

First of all i am very happy that we now can stack windows but i found a new bug in my game after that patch, that i also already put in the bug reports forum but now i am not sure if i should have posted it here instead, so second try:

All mirrors don't show outside views through the galls of windows and doors anymore and instead show only the frame of the window or door in game. I made a picture of it as well. It happens with all windows and doors of all packs, so it seems to be a general problem for my game, which is pretty sad, as i am mostly building.

Also it is worth mentioning that under the bug report already many other people posted, that they where having the same problem on all devices (PC,Mac,Console). So it seems to be a general problem that occurred after the latest patch and in my case ist liked with all doors and windows.

Here is the link to the bug report page, just in case that helps. Many people did also share some screenshots, that show the bug in game:

Thank you for your help in advance
