it looks like it may have been set to not cast shadows. that may or may not be a deliberate choice on the devs' part: shadows are expensive and they don't have them enabled for every light source.

 

I think it is similar to the light source issue placed in any house. All light source pass through floor except some crafted wall (e.g. shogun paper room divider, wooden wall). All houses may be missing some kind of light source collision surface. It seems like having much effort to fix this issue.

I hope the issue of light source penetrating house wall and floor may get fixed. This make the house looks better without being affected by neighbor's light.

 

that looks like the flame effect has two parts and they mis-sized one.
