I just want to say me too... I almost never give my Sims glasses. But it occurs in my household now. Also can't really go off laptop mode.

How do you turn laptop mode on/off and how do you repair the game in origin?

Go to game options in the Sims 4, you should already be on "Graphics" and laptop mode is on the bottom right. To repair your game just go on origin. click on Sims 4, then click on the settings and there should be a repair option. It kind of takes a while but it will let you know when it's done repairing :D

This still happens. You’re telling me the only options are having no sims that wear glasses or have a super laggy game (which is what happens when i turn off laptop mode). This is such a dumb glitch i imagine it cannot be that hard to fix, EA. I’ve also noticed that fish in fish bowls and tanks do not show up in laptop mode. FIX THE LAPTOP MODE STUFF. Does anyone know ANY workaround for this? I need to be in laptop mode because i play on a laptop but i want my sims to wear glasses without them looking like shades. Please help.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go into CAS put the glasses from eco lifestyle on sim. Then go into live mode focus camera on sim, then zoom out. The problem gets worse the further away from the sim that the camera goes.
What happens when the bug occurs? A black line appears on the glasses either side of the sims nose and the more you zoom out the worse it gets until they look complete blacked out like sunglasses.
What do you expect to see? Glasses functioning normally without looking like sunglasses
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Appeared after the infants patch, I removed all mods, cleared the cache and repaired the game but the issue still occurs.
Sorry the pictures aren't very clear, you have to zoom in quite a lot to see the problem.
The problem only seems to occur with the eco lifestyle glasses.

Yes I currently have laptop mode on (I'll try it without) and yes the problem is with every swatch.
Thanks
