In my game if I have the walls up the ceiling is showing; if I use walls down or walls cutaway view the ceiling doesn't show. This is the same when using my mod or not using my mod.

Could you probably split the DATA files in two packages? I would prefer to simply alter the indoor lighting, not the outdoor lighting.


The lighting settings are all in one DATA file, not 2, so they can't be split. I increased the overall light intensity which applies to everywnere in the world (to add to the light indoors), so I reduced the Sunlight outdoors to compensate, because everything outdoors became brighter.

The 2nd DATA file in my mod is the SSAO file, not an indoor or outoor lighting file.

Used V2, got pretty significant lag for some reason, especially when zooming away from the house. The lights seem much more yellow now, even when I have turned them on white. Other colors seemed fine. It was brighter in the house, but it gave everything a very yellow look to it and I couldn't get it to change unless I used a different color.

Big thank you to all of the different types of creators/mod makers that help out the gaming community to make the games that much more fun and glitch free to play.

This is updated with a V3 version which reduces the amount of blue color in light in relation to the green and red.

The darks are too dark, and there are some surfaces that are always extremely bright, even with the lights dimmed...

If you look at my screenshot from the Library, the Library does not look approximately the same in your game?

When you start the game and the list comes up with installed content, you see the name of my file in the list? Also, if you are not using my mod or anyone else's, the environment outdoors should not be dark except at night.

Really does help, especially with the indoor lightning. However, my sims are still really dark. Thank you, though! Will keep this mod.

im sry i uninstalled this mod.. v2 makes everything WAY too blue, even if i tried to change light color, my white/lightgray surfaces are just blue.. does v3 include v2 lighting? or is v3 just default lighting with a blue color fix?
