[OPEN] Walls disappearing / Clipping in mirror reflection

[The_Mom_Cave]

@brogle321 I have the same problem with mine, mods or no mods. I even tried it on a completely new download of the game, on a completely separate computer, no mods or cc. Same thing.

Started having this issue since the 1.70.84.1020 update

Seems to get worse the nearer you get to the mirror, I hate it

Mirror shots are part of my story-telling style and now I can't do them.

I am not surprised that it didn‘t get fixed in the latest patch. Working on another SP was more important I guess... I‘m so done buying anymore packs. Leaving us with those really annoying bugs and an APP (Origin) that makes it so hard for most of us to repair our games, is a crying shame!

@LuvMySimz I remain cautiously optimistic. They did fix the walls-completely-down view so that it is reflecting the room/windows/arches/doorways correctly. So, really it's just a matter of making the walls-cutaway and walls-up views do the same thing.

@stjmk The cutout issue visible in the mirrors now is what I’m referring to.

@LuvMySimz I understand the issue as I'm having it myself, but as @hamchee92 noted above, the room does reflect correctly in full-cutaway view with the walls completely down. It's in the "partial" walls-cutaway and walls-up views that the cutout issue is still a problem ironically.

So, EA did get it working right for one view. Now they just have to do the same thing for the other two views, and that seems like an easy fix to me.

Anyone hear about when this will be fixed? Its been a little while and the mirrors still make things look like crap. How has EA not fixed this by now??

I've had this problem for at least a month or longer also.  I should have posted before but I assumed it would be fixed in a patch but I guess not.  I can't say exactly what patch this went bad with since I haven't played much until more recently.  This was happening roughly back in December 2020, possibly before.

Not gonna post screenshots since they are the same as everyone elses.  But I could if more are needed to show the bug.

The mirror reflection making some of the walls behind you invisible is one thing I've noticed.... this happens when on ground level or above.  The walls will appear and disappear depending on the distance of the camera to the mirror/wall.

... but if you are below ground on basement level, and have a wall on the edge of the basement, it will do weird glitching.  Not disappearing in this case, just really bugging out.  Now if you drag the wall in 1 square away from the edge of the properly, the bug goes away.  This doesn't happen on 100% of the basement walls but happens on a lot of them if the walls are touch the edge of your property.

Tested my game with no mods in my directory and same thing happened.  Hope this gets fixed sometime because this makes mirrors almost useless in many areas of your house.

I'm noticing that my furniture / household items are disappearing and they're being stored in my inventory. No one comes over to the house so no one has stolen them. This is quite frustrating because i keep having to redecorate my house. Another thing im having issues with is the mirrors. When you look into the mirrors, the walls are disappearing and you can see grey lines if there's a walkway (where there is no wall). Can this get fixed please? It just really takes a lot of fun out of the gameplay and I've done some research and it seems like both of these issues have been problems before.

@Espenschied1204 I moved this to the mirror reflections as that was the main issue you're reporting.

As for the furniture, are they put in the inventory when you build something or just randomly while you play ?
