[CURRENT ISSUE 64-bit] Terrain paints not applying

[ Edited ]

The terrain paint tool does not seem to be useable. I can select the paint and click to apply but it does not stick:

 

 

Played around with graphics settings in-game but cannot currently find a workaround.

Is anyone else having issues with terrain paint not working? I'll try to use it and it just doesn't appear unless I click undo and even then it doesn't cover everything and is pretty patchy or just doesn't show up at all.

@Padmefan2017

Which specific terrain paint and which lot are you on? I'd like to test in my game.

@Bluebellflora For me, it's been every terrain paint on every lot. I've only played Sunset Valley both community and residential lots. Also if I use level terrain all-terrain paint disappears for me.

Re: Terrain paints not applying, TS3 64-bit

I saw this too.  If I click to apply terrain paint in one location, it does stick, even when I go back to live mode.  But if I click somewhere else, the previous spot disappears, like there can only be one spot on the lot with any terrain paint at all.  This happens whether I switch to live mode and back to build mode or just stay in build mode.

I, too, am having the terrain paint issue.  It will not stay applied.  Reinstalling the game and/or repairing the game are not working as solutions for me.  I have also tried adjusting the graphical settings in various ways.  Please see device information below.

Please can you attach the file, not just c/p part of it. You can open in TextEdit and take out your name, we don't need that Standard smile

Hey! This has been glitchy for me as well. I've also messed around with some settings and restarted my game when it first happened. At least this isn't ultimately game breaking haha 😅

I also have this problem. Whenever I try to use terrain paint it doesn't apply the paint and for some reason it also deletes all other terrain paint that was on the lot originally
