Re: Water puddles look white

@TheSuperWolf100  Does it help to change your in-game graphics settings?  How about using different lights in that room?

@puzzlezaddict my game settings are set to the highest and no lighting fixes the issue

@TheSuperWolf100  Please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

I'm also curious how (or whether) you resolved the issue you posted about from a couple months ago.  Last I heard, you were running hardware diagnostics.

 

@Carlie_M_Cullen  Please post a dxdiag as well.

Re: Water puddles look white

@TheSuperWolf100  I don't see anything obvious in your dxdiag.  And I haven't seen other reports of this issue aside from the one other person who posted here, so I'm not sure whether it's just your computers or a typical issue that no one else cares about.  But two other things I didn't ask are whether this happens when an object isn't on top of the puddle and whether the puddle looks different from different angles.

Idk what dxdiag is or how to get it but yeah those puddles happen when sims are wet and I've had one float above the stairs and one stuck under the toilet

Re: Water puddles look white

@Carlie_M_Cullen  I linked instructions for running a dxdiag in my previous post.

 

@TheSuperWolf100  I figured that was the case, given the placement of the puddle, but that also doesn't answer my questions.
