Problem with Housing window Lights

SilverBride · October 2

I placed a window in each end of the open alcoves in my house and placed them both so that the light would shine into the alcove and not into the room. But the light just shines through the window on the other side and into the opposite room. I tried to put blocks between the two windows but nothing stops the light from shining through.

I love how it looks but it doesn't make sense to have sunlight coming in through a window in an inside wall. Does anyone know a workaround for this?

I've been playing since the beginning and haven't really got into housing yet but they should definitely find a way to fix that. I know people like to have light effects coming through floors for example so I don't know if there is a work around unless Zos changes it.

I don't like light coming through floors or walls. I want the light in the room I place it in, not shining through into an adjacent room.

Windows have one side where light shines into the room, and one side where it doesn't. The problem I am having is that I have placed two windows facing each other and mistakenly thought each would block the other's light from shining into the room. But they don't.

It would be nice if we could toggle window light off like we do with other lights.

What is stopping them from implementing light clipping, esp. through walls/floors/ceilings?

Yes, this is such a strange effect. The first time I placed a window and the light was reflecting on the floor of the room below, I was kinda baffled.
It would be great if they just added all the window styles with transparent windows. The ones that are colored could still be stained, then this presumably wouldn't be an issue.

It's nice that they give us a dark side but that only works on outer walls. I tried this window in another spot on a very thick wall and it shines through it, too.

I guess I have to either live with impossible sunlight coming though windows deep inside a house or remove them and try something else. I hate to do that because they look really good but that may be my only choice.
