Mirrors that are actually reflective and not a black void

I personally don’t care if it slows down performance or takes 5 mins to load in. Mirrors that actually look reflective and not like a shiny black panel would be great.
Updated glass that’s usable would add so much to spaces like bathrooms and dressing rooms. I have to avoid them like the plague because they’re just not mirrors and don’t look like them

Reflections not showing on PS5, would be good to see a real reflection.

I know we have a tonm of options for mirrors but it sucks when we cant see anything when we look into them, Id love to see reflections being worked on

I am stunned that not many people wish to have good mirror reflections but are suggesting (as an example) items for disabilities or items that will barely be ever used for the average sandbox player. Mirror reflections in this game are terrible, it is just shiny blocks and add no character to any room, which is why I even avoid using mirrors at all costs and sometimes switch to sims 4 only because of that.
Mirrors add so much to a room, it is one of the most important things, like windows in rooms that let light come in naturally.
They make the space look much bigger and cozy. Nobody in their house would put a panel of shiny metal on the wall as a simple decoration, it does not make any sense.
I personally don't mind to load an extra minute if such a feature is to be added.

I would only partly agree on this because for those with disabilities its hard to find representation in video games and for a house builder game that you decorate before selling (rather than in real life where you get the kitchen and bathroom fixtures and fittings but everything else is blank shell) being able to make a house look fully accessible is going to be so nice for those with the kinds of disabilities the aids work for. Like at the moment there are ramps and hand holds you can add and some crutches, canes and a wheelchair. But it would be really nice to be able to have say a shower chair (some showers have the chair fold down from the wall) and baths with doors in them or with lifts in/out.
I do not agree with the this ___ not that ___ mentality that comes with conversations around disability. Both is possible. And for someone who is physically disabled, having the representation in the game to be able to decorate a house like their house, that's probably going to feel a lot more rewarding than mirrors reflecting.
But it doesn't have to be an either or. People asking for disability representation would probably also get behind mirrors looking right. But that might not be their main focus to fight for loudly. Its just the game started with some accessibility items in it (great, fantastic, more than most games do) which means of course people are going to ask for more. Particularly as there is currently no Steam Workshop integration so you can't really do anything custom other than pictures. With the first game people wanting to represent their disability had to go to the workshop and hope someone had made something or make it themselves if they knew how. So you didn't have to worry about hearing people ask for representation.

AlexaFaie respectfully tho, for a game that’s entire basis is flipping houses to create nice looking rooms. Basic mirror reflections that look like mirrors should take priority over adding accessibility items. It does seem that the priorities of what items need adding first are rather off.

You know I found out sometimes if you stand in a particular spot you can get a reflection of some items; but ditto

Mirrors do not look like mirrors in this game in general. In HF1 this was a lot better! Would love to see this improved!

Mirror reflections in general would be nice
Spirited Treasure
I have seen games that show mirror reflection. So I know it’s possible. Why do we have mirrors if they are just flat black?
