  • Game Version: 20262703.11355.W

  • Platform: (Steam windows / Steam Mac / Mac)

  • Mods: (Choose one: never used / removed / active)

  • Hardware Specifications & Operating System: Windows 11, 11th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i7-11700F @ 2.50GHz (2.50 GHz), NVidia RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM

  • Steps to Reproduce: Get into build mode. Set the day time slider to complete nighttime.

  • Details:
    :round_pushpin:There is a slider in Build Mode that lets you adjust the lighting and time of day. However, this feature no longer works correctly. When you set the slider to nighttime, it doesn’t display a true night setting. Instead, the sky appears more like a cloudy late afternoon, and there is no real darkness.

  • This first happened when I was remodelling Ora D’oro in Blissbay but I have tried both business and residential properties to make sure and it happens indistinctively (added pictures).

Complete night setting now (it literally looks like it’s daytime):

I experienced this as well, editing a business property under my zoi, who was at home at the time. After moving my zoi to the business property itself, and going into edit mode once there, the lighting (nighttime, the whole slider) was correct.

Just wanted to add this, as it seems (in my case, at least) to do with the player zoi location at the time of editing. Obviously, still a bug though.
