[OPEN] Lots with manipulated terrain look realistic/strange in world view
by AesthetixtectOriginal Post
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? 1.77.131.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them (aside from kits).
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Create a pond, then go to Manage Worlds view.
What happens when the bug occurs? In Manage Worlds/Map view, the lot on which you just placed a pond suddenly looks very strange and all terrain/terrain paint is visible.
What do you expect to see? A normal view from Manage Worlds that fits the rest of the map & lots.
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. Most recent patch (20-07-2021).
After updating to the newest patch and creating a pond, the lot I worked on suddenly looks very strange from Manage Worlds view - namely, it shows all terrain and terrain paint and stands out from the rest of the map by a lot. Bulldozing the terrain fixes the issue, but as soon as I placed another pond, the issue came back. Checked on another lot, and the same thing happened. I also saved the lot (including pond) to my library and placed it in another save, and it still looked the same, strange way in Manage Worlds. I don't have any mods in my game at the moment. Wondering if anyone else is having this issue.
Good Luck

Yeah, it's exactly like that! I've never had this issue before, but now after updating to this patch and placing ponds, every lot with a pond in my game gets it.

I always had that on lots with terrain manipulation, since they imlemented it in game. I think it might be by design, to indicate there is terrain manipulation? I personaly like it, but I dont know, the saturated green trunks in Brindleton Bay annoyed me more in comparison! 
eheh
I'm not sure if there is another report for this, but this was the closest one I could find to my problem. After I built a very deep pond on a lot, I could see the underground from world view. Picture included.
I am also having this issue, but it additionally appears from the selection screen like the lot isn't completely inside the boundary of the lot (no mods)
