So basically, I have been trying to fix this problem with leaves, snow, and dust having broken textures in the game. Logically it should be a mod, but the problem is the issue doesn’t seem to have a “start at start up” problem. When I remove all mods the leaf texture returns to normal but when I try to add mods back to do a 50/50 removal, the leaf or snow texture refuses to be broken until “later” in the game. Because of this I can’t actually ascertain if this is mod issue or base game texture problem. I just need anybody with this issue that has fixed it or encountered it that can lead me into the right direction. If anyone at all has experienced this that doesn’t use mods, it could go a long way to recovering my sanity. There have only been two threads I found on reddit with a similar issue, neither was resolved. I would love to enjoy seasons again but until I fix this, I honestly have considered just playing with it off but it would really hurt my feelings to play the game without the functionality of basically one expansion and 1 stuff pack.
To explain the visual problem leaf piles appear as rainbow splotches on the ground, the dust covers the ENTIRE floor with the rainbow texture and the falling snow flurries are white/black squares with ? on them .
In the past I’ve achieved grand success from the 50/50 method I know how to do it but sometimes issues that don’t appear when the game loads causes the 50/50 method to become less sufficient. It means having to test play a save for random amount of minutes or even hours, and its relatively frustrating to try to “play a half loaded save” . The results have been fruitless, I’ve spent about 12 hours trying to play test a little at a time for each save but I can’t “trigger” the texture problem , it just happens to happen when I travel on lots randomly. I really need any help from those that suffered this nature texture glitch , any culprits from your saves that might also be a culprit in mine.
I have repaired the game files as well. pls. halp me. T_T lol.

Hi there,
unfortunately I don't have a solution but I have the exact same issue and I have no clue what is causing it. Even when I start a save where I left with the broken texture the texture ist normal when I start the game and starts getting broken when I play for a while or sometimes when I open build/buy mode. I also tried removing some mods, who I thought would be the most likely suspects but that didn't do anything.
Did you already find something that helped? I also keep doing trial and error until I can find whats causing this :c
I also already repaired the game files...

Did anyone ever found what caused this. I'm also having no luck since I can't do the 50/50 method since it doesn't always appear.

sammoyke faendryl janjanjanita Hi, guys. This is not an instant solution, but you could try this: - move half of your mods elsewhere, play the game for some time; - if the issue persists, the mod is still in the Mods folder. If not, its in the different one. So create a list of all file names in the folder that contains it like this; - share this document here; - using this website, we can find what mods all of you have in common, then do 50/50 with just these mods

So it's hard to know when the mod is causing it since you can't make the problem appear and you have to wait for hours even days to check and still can't be sure if they are okey mods or just the glitch is not happening. |

Then make list of all mods. We will try to find the culprit using logic (say, a hair package would not cause something like this) |

its hard to go by the "what items wont cause this" cause I actually did find the problem file eventually, it was a shoe. I actually have ANOTHER file doing the same damn thing this month. I havent found it again, its not the same shoe. the shoe i had at the time was a square heel male dress shoe by Roy. I have made sure I havent gotten that same file this go around but , removing that shoe solved it for me last year.

That’s crazy, what could have possibly been wrong with that shoes to cause something like that. Maybe it’s a custom cube map

I know this is a rather old post, but it seems I've encountered the same issue as you. I've tried to fix my game, searched for solutions, but the issue still persists. The 50/50 method isn't useful because the glitch won't occur when the game starts. The texture glitch doesn't really affect the gameplay, but it does annoy me a lot. If you can see my message, could you please tell me how you found the conflicting CC? I really need help pleaseee |

its basically still the 50/50 method but its an extended version lol. you gotta relent to make a save you're gonna play and not care about for a day or two and play like "normal" long enough to trigger the texture. eventually, as i was doing this method i just happened to notice the texture stopped being broken when my sim had been missing some cas cc about 9 hours through the process. So it was frustrating to find it with as much cc as I have and I have yet to find a method to speed up the process since its not something that is quick to determine is effecting the game at the moment. I will say since it effects the dust textures, the dust buster mod allows you to control the dust via pie menu, at the very least i could use that to cheat the dust and check to see if the textures were broken on the game start up. then i would bounce from lot to lot for a while until i found a lot with a broken texture. sometimes that took a few travels sometimes i was randomly lot hopping for hours. Honestly whatever causes this texture bug is in my top 3 of worst cc bugs i have ever had. I had hoped id only find one like it, im so irked i got another one.

Thanks. I guess I really have to take some time to troubleshoot the problem cc then. The method of making a save is a good suggestion, though. Btw, are the one or two days you mentioned in real time or Sims hours? lol
