This recently started happening in my Sims 3 game and it's the most annoying graphics bug in the world. Hopefully the attached photos show up properly but the issue is that rain and snow are clipping into my buildings, regardless of floor or roof status. It's not a wonky angle. It's not a missing roof/floor tile. It is purely a graphic bug but it's infuriating because it didn't use to do this. Is there a mod to fix this..? Or a way to change the weather effects without disabling them totally?
I want seasons in my game but not if it comes at the cost of this annoying bug.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I found something that worked for me! I rolled back my GPU drivers and it immediately fixed the issue! Hope the next update will fix the issue totally, but rolling back is a dang good band-aid!

I have tested it the following ways, each with no luck:
Playing around with the graphics setting changes nothing. The only place rain/snow does not clip is in basements. The only fix I have is to straight up disable weather in settings.
I think it's gotta be my GPU (RX 6600XT) but I'm at a loss on how to fix it.

I think this is a GPU thing, possibly with the most recent driver update? I also have an RX (RX6400) and this same issue. I'm trying to figure out what's going on, because the glitch comes and goes but I don't know why. I'll keep you posted if I figure out anything.

Thank you! I will also report back if I figure something out. I remember they only just recently fixed the mirror issues, so I think something broke when that came out.

@actuallythequeen Could you please list your current driver version, as in, the one you rolled back to? If you don't know what it is, you can find it in the Device Manager, among other places. Hit Windows key-X, select the Device Manager, expand Display Adapters, right-click on the name of your graphics card, select Properties, and you'll see a few tabs, including one for the driver. It would be helpful to know the driver version that actually works here.
