Ever since installing seasons and the patch after that, my light dimmer settings are being reset when I enable auto-lights. I've tried running it vanilla, and even removed my entire TS4 folder from My Documents. I have also repaired the game from origin.

Light intensity will no longer reset when setting Auto Lights options.

Mine seems to stick.

What are you choosing ? A certain light or all lights ?

[fasado]

For example, I would dim one certain light only then when i enable auto-lights for all lights, the dim setting resets to maximum brightness. The same thing happens when I change the setting on one light then enable auto-lights for that light, the dim settings still resets.

[crinrict]

And it happen in both a new and an existing save ?

What's your OS ?

[fasado]

Yes. I have tried it with and without mods on a new and an old save game.

I am on Windows 10 Home SL

Just tried again in another save in my game and it still stays the same for me.

Do you also have issues with auto-lights resetting ? Does it happen only on a few specific lamps maybe ?

[fasado]

When I change the settings on the light, it disables the auto light for that specific light. When I go ahead and enable auto lights for that light or for the room or all lights, the dim setting resets to maximum. I've tried it on quite a number of different lamps, still having that problem.

Voicing support that this happens to me too. Auto-Lights automatically forces the light to full settings. When I select the dimmer option, it shows the settings I selected, but the light doesn't display it in game.

Could any of you open a thread in the bug forum then

Thanks.
