I adored the earlier versions, have been using them for years, and I simply adore this one as well. Downloaded lastnight and so far so good. Love the way it makes the nights seem naturally darker instead of that same dull blue haze of Maxis night. Makes it more realistic. The transitions of dusk and dawn with a red tinge to the environment is incredible. Again adds that degree of realism I think the original game sorely missed.
I did have issues with the fish and ripples but I think I left shaders false. I could live without fish. I can't live without this lighting system now. Wouldn't play the game without it. Brilliant! You, Gunmod, and those that worked so hard to bring this to us deserve a hearty and heartfelt thank you. Enriched my game play experience. Thanks ever so much!
@ JacobM;
You need to extract the files and replace each of the files in the download to each of the corresponding files in your Sims2/EA/Tdata/Res/lights folders. So in the download it has one lights folder for each EP, stuff pack, plus base game. You open the folders in your C/progfiles/ea/ts2/tsdata/res/lights folder and replace the downloaded files into each of their respective folders.
BACKUP the originals first as always. ( I think I got that right, took me a few times to get it myself, sorry dDefinder for bugging you earlier - you're very patient
)
And if you're at all confused READ READ READ the Readme files with the mod! That's what they're there for
@ Demeterloves2;
I can understand your trepidation, seems big, but I have been using versions of this same mod for literally years and has become so part of my game that I can't imagine now playing the game without it. Doesn't seem like much in the grand scheme of things to tweak the lights in the game any but trust me, the subtle changes (and the awesome effects in twilight) more than make it a must-have mod. It's a must-have for me. I love it. Just find it hard keeping up to the updated versions sometimes, Maxis seems to eager to push out EP after EP these days!
Besides if you don't like it (which I doubt many would) providing you have backed up your original lights folders you can just delete the mod ones and replace them with the Maxis default ones.
See what you think
