In the photo you can see it glitch through the wall and curtain, the second photo are the trees that cause it, note this is the 64x64 lot in windenburg. This also is not a hardware issue as I have multiple laptops, this seems to occur with frozen trees in winter that clip through objects and walls, note this also occurs with sims as well, no matter the distance it will clip however its worst the closer it is.

Thank you for your report!
Can we get some full screen screenshot of the scene, so we can check the location of the trees and the walls?
We can glance that there's something going on, but some more screenshots might help a lot.
Thank you very much.

This one you can see it through the bookcase, I follow it into the bedroom, then drop the wall so you can see which trees are causing it, if need more screenshot I can do that. @SimGuruIcarus

It's super hard to see in this image, as the site seems to darken any example I try to post, so this is as good as I can get. Look closely however, and you can see some slight shimmering lines and dots on the wall.

Here it is I uploaded it to imgur after a quick jaunt into paint. Should be easier to see once zoomed in.
