I'm working on a custom world in CAW, and doing a beta playtest concurrently for fun. Today in live mode in game I noticed the oddest graphical glitch with the roads in one section of town, only in winter. When there's "medium" or "deep" snow, and advanced rendering is on, the snow edge is raised, right along the sidewalk, like lot tearing in reverse, regardless of if a lot is there or not. It shows a "mirror" of a different spot in the world through it (so it's not actually tearing to show what's on the other side). I tried googling but I don't have the right words for it and there's other snow glitches that obscure it. I've seen a few photos here and there that look like mine, but the cause was uneven terrain on a lot, and my issue happens lot or not.

I tried disabling the smooth patch package, and checked to be sure I don't have a snow replacer, adjusted my graphic options in case it's just my computer, but it shows up in screenshots, and it's just in that one section of the world.

I tested smoothing the road, but it's so smooth and flat already the lots around it don't even tear. And it didn't seem to help. Neither did deleting the road and undoing. I was just about to try manually replacing my beautiful perfect roads (they'd never be as good, never) and then I thought, weird it's just the sidewalk, eh?

So I replaced the sidewalk normal maps for every road to the concrete sidewalk normal map that came with the road pack (Grandellama's, mostly), as I had somehow ended up with all of them as the dirt sidewalk normal map that came with CAW. Boom, the issue was gone! ...on the flat areas only. So partly solved, I think.

There's still one small section that's sloped drunkenly so I'll fix it anyway, and, annoying as heck, a stretch along an otherwise perfect road where there is no lot that is entirely flat and using the correct normal map, and still does it. Sometimes I think CAW hates me personally, but then I remember it hates us all equally. :D

If anyone else has had this issue, and fixed it decisively, or just wants to sympathize, I'm up for it. Also, is there a way to test snow in EIG? I tried testingcheatsenabled true but it didn't seem to do anything. Thanks!
