Step by Step Directions on Installing Gunmod's Radiance Light System 2.4 For The Sims 2: Super Collection {32 Bit Version} Note that the 64 bit version changed the paths slightly and the changes are noted.
Note: I based my directions on 2.4 because I like the 2.4 version best, the install procedure will likely be a little different if you use dreadpirate's 2.5 version. I don't know if her version will work that well on Macs for one thing, so I advise getting 2.4 from on MTS.
