I’m still having this issue, is EA aware of the bug/possibly working on fixing it? At least that you may know of? I’m new to the forums and unsure how much EA actually sees on the forums

Since it's been going on over a year... me thinks they just aren't paying attention or don't care. Still a problem for myself as well.

@SimGuruRitzy Will it take two years like the big gardening bug in Seasons?

Hello, I just got Sims 4 and the cats and dogs pack and it is still happening. I first noticed the frogs were just eyes (before having got any packs), and mice were just shadows (though I thought that was how they were meant to look), then certain objects were invisible, and finally, I could hear birds but see none. So it's a bug within the base code most likely and has either always been there or is something that broke between the release of Sims 4 and cats and dogs/ water decor (i forget which was introduced first). I'm not a coding expert by any means, I am still learning but I feel that I know enough to claim this.
