Title: Where the heck is the moon? :( Post by: fytj on March 21, 2008, 04:11:28 pm I just got a new computer that pretty much kicks ass(3.16GHz, 4 gigs of Ram, HD 2600 XT but I'll upgrade it) and I still can't see the moon! Is there any setting I need to turn on or something? And has anyone else experienced this problem? I mean: it can't be my computer or do I still need an even better one??

Title: Where the heck is the moon? :( Post by: lewisb40 on March 21, 2008, 07:07:37 pm I have wondered that, too. I wanted to see the moon, but no moon. I thought because I play downtown so much, maybe the airs too dirty to see. LOL

Title: Where the heck is the moon? :( Post by: megativity13 on March 25, 2008, 06:46:49 pm this started happening with Seasons, I believe.
go into your game options/graphics options (either or, i forget which one specifically) and (graphics card willing) set view distance to extra large and fade distance to extra large.

I've seasons and my graphic card is good but... I will pay more attention to the sky in the game the next time Title: Where the heck is the moon? :( Post by: FratBrat44 on April 04, 2008, 05:18:24 pm I never even knew there was a moon in the Sims 2 game.
Title: Where the heck is the moon? :( Post by: BeosBoxBoy on April 05, 2008, 12:48:40 am I really don't understand the moon thing - I see it sometimes - and others I don't. I don't know what controls this. I know the night sky sphere texture has a moon on it and stars, and just like the moon, sometimes I see the stars, other times I don't. But there is no rhyme or reason as to why it is solid blue 90% of the time.
Title: Where the heck is the moon? :( Post by: Bev in NY on April 07, 2008, 02:24:13 am Well moonseekers...i did what megativity13 said to do....but i still didn't see the moon or stars, was disappointed of course....but......i just use the camera thing in game to move the angles to get a better pic of my toddler since they sit alot and i can't get closeups....so i use the hit Tab button on keyboard then use the other keys to manuever it....well here i was trying to capture this pic and WOW...i seen stars( well not me) but in the game i was so excited i quit focusing on tod pic and started looking for the moon and i briefly seen it then cuz i was moving to fast i lost it and couldn't find it again....but it was so cool to finally see it...so i believe that camera mode along with megativity13's suggestion worked....Question BBB....do u think that it may be possible that why you can only see them is on a clear night? i know there is clouds when you are viewing the neighborhood that move around...so maybe some nights are cloudy and that is why you can't view this????? just a thought... i mean in real life this plays a factor....
Title: Where the heck is the moon? :( Post by: BeosBoxBoy on April 07, 2008, 02:53:23 am Bev I don't know, really. It seems so random in my game that I can't tell. I have almost no clouds in my skies, so I wonder if it is a bug or by design. Certainly "clear night sky" would make sense, so you may have thought of something we need to consider.
Title: Where the heck is the moon? :( Post by: Tenshii~Akari on April 07, 2008, 07:20:03 am I feel you. I lost my clouds, moon, and stars after installing Seasons... All I have is a blank blue sky in varying shades, no matter which camera options I choose, or even enabling turning up Graphic Effects and pixel shaders. I miss those effects...:(
