Pool water is cloudy in Sims 4

[simsical-musical]

So ever since the last patch update, the pool water in my game has had this cloudy effect on it. It also has no reflections, and the animation is on the walls of the pool instead of the top where it's supposed to be. I've tried removing my custom content, and it still happens. I've also tried repairing the game, but it didn't fix it. Can anyone help? I'm kinda desperate because my sim's hobby centers around water...

It was in fact the laptop mode that was doing it... sad though, because laptop mode was one of the only things keeping my game from lagging so badly I can't even play :/

I moved your post here to The Sims 4 PC, let us know if you are on console or Mac, thanks.

Looks to be low graphic setting.

I am on a Mac. Thanks for your help!

@jpkarlsen Which setting on graphics do you think would be causing it?

I will have someone with experience in Mac take over and move this to the Mac section.

Please can you provide more information about your Mac. Instructions on what to provide and how to do so here - http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612...

Do you have laptop mode enabled in the graphics options?

[simsical-musical]

Yes, I believe I do have laptop mode on.

That's probably causing the cloudy water - have you tried disabling it? Would be really helpful if you could also provide the details asked for too
