-Some minor issues that have been occurring that are related to graphics.

-Since custom ceilings were introduced, users who tried to take pictures of a house they were uploading noticed that ceilings turned black.
+Since custom ceilings were introduced after Ambitions and/or patch 1.12.70 / 2.7.7 / 3.3.11, users who tried to take pictures of a house in camera mode often found ceilings had turned completely black.  This is merely a game/graphic glitch and there is a simple work around.  This occurs when you attempt to take pictures of one level with a custom ceiling, and have levels above showing as well.
