Title: Help! All my lots are DARK! Post by: Jagerjaques on February 02, 2007, 05:35:38 pm Ok, I have noticed that lately all my lots are DARK. Not just get over it, and install a light dark, but DARK. Even with two lights in one bedroom sized room, it barely has any light. Has anyone found a problem with the lighting? I have Gun Mod's light hack, but it doesn't seem to be working. This is a recent occurance, and doesn't seem to be a "pets" related issue, mostly because I had normal light until last week or so. I did delete my neighborhoods and replace them. That's the last scary thing I've done to myself. Any help?

Post by: BeosBoxBoy on February 02, 2007, 05:42:02 pm Brenda at some point after installing NL - I began experiencing what you describe above - it started at random and spread from lots to sim's faces as well, and was not at all predictable. I know that after installing the OFB patch it became worse, and from what I have seen in my help request PMs has only been made worse by Pets EP. It occured with every lighting mod I could find and test. The only solution I have found to resolve the issue is to restore the original lighting files and then delete and replace every light and then make the sim do a mirror-makeover.

Any chance this might work? http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=35370 In the past I used GunMods lighting hack but someone told me it wasnt wise to use so I took it out. I've been wanting to try this one but I haven't yet. Title: Help! All my lots are DARK! Post by: ancienthighway on February 02, 2007, 07:02:02 pm I've been using Spooky's mod for about a week with mixed results. In NL, I've gotten the dusk and dawn lighting, but in OFB and GLS I haven't. Other than that it's been working fine.

Title: Help! All my lots are DARK! Post by: Tenshii~Akari on February 02, 2007, 08:23:47 pm Huh... I had this same exact situation happen a while back, after I had updated to CEP v 4.2. I had it on the settings I wanted (using Gun Mod's lighting mod) and there was absolute darkness in all of my lots, and lights were absolutely useless. I re-installed it using the exact same settings, and the lighting was restored to were it should have been (though still unnaturally dark in the shadows). Not that my statement matters much now, it seems the problem here has been solved already. :D
