I am looking for a mod that either makes fires in fireplaces look better or at least a little bigger. I do not want to burn down houses or kill Sims or make fires different to deal with in any way. I just want to make the fires in the fireplaces look better. They look very small and unremarkable to me. Even with all of the game's options on max, fire having been poked: http://i.imgur.com/DjdNhpe.jpg It just looks so lack-luster to me.

Is there a mod that kind of vamps up the graphic?

Edit: I have tried to google this and search for it on the site. I only found a mod that makes fires kill everyone and burn everything, much harder to put out and so on. I can't find something that just makes it look bigger/more intense. I don't want to change the behavior of the fire itself.

Actually, i really don't know if people make graphical mods for the sims 3, just custom content. i'm sure it would be possible to make a fire bigger though. produce more light mabey? Ill take a look for a mod like that

Thank you for the help. I remember there are some mods for Sims 2 that changed things graphically like the plumbob, just to make it look better. I think people worked on shading/light mods too I can't remember. In my game at about 5pm everyday the world gets pretty dark when it is snowy outside. It would be really nice to ee a blazing fire sitting at the foot of her bed while she sleeps instead of the little poof of flames.

in fact there are a lot graphical mods out there. the following are only examples of each: high quality mods , high quality mod combined with no glow , environmental mods (lightning mods) , remove shine/stencils tools , invisibile plumbob ... just to name the few first catchwords that come to my mind - but sadly i never heard/read about bigger fires.

Was trying to either give it time for someone to answer with something about the fire or for myself to find something but apparently this doesn't exist. Thank you to zoocomicsx & shmovese for the replies. I looked at the mods from the links shmovese provided, none of it has anything close to what I was looking for or anything I am interested in. Thank you both though for trying, it is much appreciated

My internet is crapping out a little, sorry. I wanted to add that high quality mod combined with no glow & invisible plumbob are very nice. Thanks for showing me those

ah good to hear you found something interesting. but these links i posted here were really only meant to be examples of graphical mods that were done by the community. they have nothing to do with the fire - i know. i only wanted to post them since someone doubted there were graphical mods made, just costum content... its simply not true you know.

edit: the no glow feature on that mod you grabbed is said to have good impact on the performance (displaying bright light seems to be hard work for graphic cards ) i hope you experience that awesome side effect too
