it might sound like a silly question, but do I need to unzip this?

Yes you unzip it.

"Unzip the file somewhere and place the .package file in the Mods folder (or a subfolder)..."

thank you, must have skimmed too fast and missed it

You're welcome. It's easy to miss!

Doesn't work properly with Seasons EP

Hi @Rocco182 ,which world did you test it in? It looks fine to me...so far...we'll see how it looks when Seasons arrives...

Willow Creek in Summer, the night was darker than normal, when I removed the mod it went back to a lighter night.

Does it work or not?

After the latest patch (I think or its the seasons EP) trees and some bushes in Sylvan Glades are 2D.

Can someone please take this mod over and update it?
I hope someone can update it and maybe enhanced it, by disabling the glowing bloom.
The volumetric sun rays are the best effect in the game, the rest are just overkill.

I definitely do not want to make the lack of this mod someone to update or to help me update it I have very little experience in modding but I absolutely want to get back this mods pleaaaaase (sorry for my bad english I'm just a little frenchy desperate to have the impression to look without glasses #overmuchblur)

Hey guys! Newbie modder here. I took a look at this mod and it seems to be working fine. The files show no important changes from the last time he updated till now.

I also tried to test some of the issues people were reporting (with the regular blur removal). Tab camera works fine, Willow Creek during the Summer at night with and without the mod had no changes in lighting, and I also tested Sylvan glade which had no changes either. If you are still experiencing one of those issues it may be due to a conflicting mod instead, not clearing the localthumbcache, or something else. So, unless someone has another bug or issue to report that I can possibly replicate, I'm gonna have to say this mod works fine for patch 1.50.67.1020.

Thanks for doing this

This mod, right here is amazing!

I wish I discovered this one earlier. When I turn on post processing effects, the game has a lot of blur in the background and it just makes it look really bad imo. Especially when you have the sky as a background behind Sims or trees. It gives it a weird blur around it that looks bad.
Turning off Post Processing fixes this issue completely, however it also gets rid of nice things such as the nice sunrays. This mod gets rid of the blur but keeps the nice sunray effect.

Thank you.

Compatible with patch 1.51.77.1020. Let me know if you encounter any issues.

I'm having trouble, after I took the mod out my game loaded, it was just white screen with it in there. But didn't EA change the game itself, so modders had to update their creations to their version? The only files there say it was uploaded in 2014, 5 years ago. All my mods work great, I don't use the world changers or anything like that. Is there another link?

@thesimslover828
I didn't have an issue with a white screen when I tested this version in my game. Also, that change was for script mods, which this mod is not. However, I did compare the resources the only change in it besides what Shimrod changed was the version number and the heading in the xml. I updated it just in case, so let me know if my version works for you.

This version is Compatible for Patch 1.52.100

Yep it works great, thanks. The game loaded right up, such a great idea. Thank you and Shimrod, ya'll rock!!

Thank you very much Scarlet

Hey everyone, until Shimrod returns (if he does) and wants to support this mod again, I'll be keeping it updated here . It's easier for me to keep everything in one place.

As she has mentioned above, the current updated version is on her website. No Blur in Distance by Scarlet
