Correct

Writing a test for this might reveal more information.

Oh indeed, the sdk says it is internal and should not be used. That will be
tricky. Note that we must not look at the windows code to find out what it
does. We can try to find out what it does by writing tests, and looking at what
Sim2 wants.

Could be because of the shader constant problems. Does Sims2 ever set anything
else but 0/0/0/0 to any constant > 224?
