[FIXED] Doors windows and arches clipping in mirror reflections

[ Edited ]
★★★★ Novice

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? 1.66.139.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? basegame
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Place a door, arch or window in view of a mirror
What happens when the bug occurs? Doors, arches and windows clip with the walls when viewed through the reflection of a mirror. Frames show still.
What do you expect to see? Doors, arches and windows should display the center part when viewed in a reflection (i.e. glass, the actual door parts and open parts)
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 

I believe this might be part of the latest window issues, though they did fix those. Not a big problem but doors, arches and windows show as clipping with the walls when viewed through a mirror.

 

(also first ever bug report so hoping I did it right)

Yes, you did

 

Can replicate this with windows. Didn't test the rest but I assume it's the same.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? By putting a mirror in left side of a hall, then an arch in right side of the hall. Move camera behind the arch.
What happens when the bug occurs? The mirror reflection shows the arch filled by a wall.
What do you expect to see? The objects & sims behind the arch reflected in the mirror, as it happened before the patch. Images below.

Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes.
Please describe the patch or change you made. After September 3rd patch (multiple windows in a single wall)

No CC. Mirror is Count Vladislaus Paint + Straight-up wall mirror. Arch is base game. Same happens with any other mirror.

 

 

 

Before patch - NO ERROR - Mirror reflected everything behind arch.After patch - ERROR - Mirror DOESN't reflect anything behind arch

I am also having this issue. Base game windows and doors look the same in mirrors as CC windows and doors look all the time now since the patch.

So I'm not sure if this fits here but it connects to whatever is wrong maybe with ea doors and windows... 

 

Ea windows don't show up properly in mirrors. The window in images is a Base Game Window. Shows properly in-game except when viewed through a mirror.

Mirrors don’t show vie out of windows and doors anymore

★★ Novice

Dear Sims 4 team, as much as I love that we can stack windows now (yeah!! ❤️) I discovered a bug which might be linked to that feature: Mirrors don’t  show views outside windows and doors anymore in my game. The only show the lining of the window, but where there is support to glass, the show the wall instead.


I hope you can fix this issue soon. Thank you 🙏 and have nice day. 😊

@rosatzimba Am having exactly the same problem on my Mac so it seems to be all platforms. It's annoying in rooms with lots of windows, especially when using the fireplace with the built-in mirror.

I am having this problem too. It began after the September 2020 update. The clipping occurs when looking through any mirror (all doors and windows are invisible with only the outline clipping through), and it even does it with the C&Ds fireplace.
