Mirror, mirror on the... HELLO, MIRROR! <knock knock crash>
I have a memory - although maybe a false one - of my sims being able to see themselves in mirrors, once upon a time. Certainly, in all the pictures of downloads on this site, the mirrors appear to be fully functional... by which I mean reflective. The mirror-related actions (admire self, and so forth) work fine, and always have, in my game. But the mirror surfaces are just gray. The issue appears to also be true for the one-way mirror windows: they're transparent from the back side like they're supposed to be, but the mirror side is non-reflective.
Did I do something wrong? Is there a crucial file that I've deleted by accident? Are my graphics settings too low? I know this is a minor concern, and it may be a blessing in disguise for my graphics card (my laptop - a MacBook Pro, BTW - sometimes heats up like a frying pan) but it's puzzling me. What can I do to get the shine back on my mirrors, and is it advisable to even try?
Cheers.
