Lighting not affecting objects
Arina:
None of my problems with this game are the sort that generate error logs. I'm sorry :P
Occasionally, objects in a rooms in a house I have go dark, like they're in a window-less unlit room. But they aren't. The floor is bright, the sims walking around are well-lit. Turning the lights on and off doesn't help. Removing/replacing the lights doesn't help. All that helps is picking up the objects themselves and putting them back down, but that doesn't last.
It's annoying because it's a fairly big room with a lot of furniture in (not stupidly huge - it's only a 3x1 lot, and a third of that is garden! XD) Does anyone know of a hack that would cause this error? I'm just not sure what to look for - I don't believe I've ever downloaded something that affects lights (not counting custom lights - could they be the culprits?) It's not a big deal, but I would prefer it not to happen. :)

I don't have any help to offer, other than to ask for some clarification that may allow someone more knowledgeable to offer better assistance.
Is it all objects, or only certain types. If for instance, it is just furniture (couch, chairs, loveseat), is it all of those types of objects or only certain ones. Is it only happening in one room, on only one lot?
Arina:
It's only in that one room (that I've noticed - some houses have poorly lit dungeon-type basements, but I guess there it doesn't matter).
It's every piece of furniture, also windows (I forgot about that until now). I'm not sure if it affects the lights themselves :/ And I can't remember what it did to the doors. Sorry I didn't include that :/
The room is pretty strange, I don't know if that would affect it? It's got a shop in one corner, separated from the main part of the room by counters. That part of the room is entered through a door. The rest of the room (including behind that counter) is accessed through a household-only gate from the corridor that has the shop door in. Going through that room is the only way to get outside, which is the only way to get into the basement or onto the roof. (I think a screenshot may be more helpful, it's a very strange house, but I don't even know if this has anything to do with it - if it is I'll get one :))

I used to get the weird shadowy effect in my old greek house-even though the lights were on, the room would be in shadowy darkness. It fixed it to zoom as close in as I could using the mouse wheel then zoom back out again. Annoyed me to no end, so I moved them into a new greek house ;D
Arina:
Ah, so you think it's just something up with that lot? I guess I'll just live with it, then - that lot took a while to build and there's a business. Unless anyone has a fix? *still hopeful* :P
