BETTER IN-GAME LIGHTING MOD v1.1


📑 GENERAL DESCRIPTION


📑 FILE TYPES (install only one file from all available files!)

DARK ROOMS and LIGHT ROOMS types that are subdivided into:

In "dark rooms" the lighting in the rooms is darker, and in "light rooms" the lighting in the rooms is lighter. The "dark rooms" option looks more realistic, I think. But I like "light rooms" more, because I'm tired of putting light bulbs all over the house so that my 

character's face becomes at least a little brighter, ha-ha.


✅ INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION

I advise you to install the AVERAGE BASE version first and try others based on your impressions of it.

For example, if the light seemed too bright to you, then you should download the DARK version. Or if the light didn't seem bright enough to you, then you should download the BRIGHT version. And also with saturation gradation: if the BASE version seemed too dim to you, you should download the SATURATED version and vice versa.


📑 MUST-READ NOTE

I have always been very upset because the lighting of the game spoils the appearance of my characters, which I create for hours in CAS. With these thoughts in mind I started working on this mod. And now my characters can look the same in the game and in CAS with this mod.

I advise you to use my GENTLE CAS LIGHTING MOD with this mod to make the characters look as much the same as possible in CAS and in the game.

WHO WILL NOT FIT THIS MOD: if you are completely satisfied with the in-game MAXIS lighting, then most likely you will not like mine.

Pictures with a "blonde cat" 🐈 are made without any processing and without ReShade preset, it's just how the character looks in the game with this mod. In the title picture 👼🏼 I added my simple ReShade preset with additional shadows to show how it will work together. If you're interested, I can post it later.

In the future, I'm going to continue working on this mod to improve it.


Finally! I really worked very hard on this mod and at times doubted that I would be able to finalize it. But here we are!

I hope you will find this mod as useful as it was useful to me!

Thank you a lot for all your support! 💘

I have all of these, and it has never conflicted for me!! I am redownloading since the last update and I saw your question! Should work for you :))

Ella S

i'm sorry for the stupid question, i just want to make sure, but does this mod conflict with no glo v2, no blu v2, sunblind, or milk thistle?

dylan!

Hi! was just curious does this conflict with the Sunblind mod? Thank you!

Jazz

Hi! I advise you to try downloading again, because sometimes files break when downloading due to an unstable Internet connection or during use on your hard drive. Don't forget to delete the old files before doing so. Also some archiving programs can corrupt files during the extraction process.

northern siberia winds

hey so everytime i put it in my mods folder it wont let me open sims 4 and says some files are missing. I've used this mod before and it worked but now its not. I dont have much mods in my game just 4 but this mod isnt working for me :( pls help

Xeano

Pixie

northern siberia winds

Hi! It tells me there is an error with copying the files as I extract the zip file :(

Reem Hazem

Rhiannon Lewis

✅ 22/10/24 The mod works with the latest patch (1.110.265.1030).

northern siberia winds

The mod is fully compatible with the latest update. If it doesn't work for you, it means that you have a conflicting mod in your folder or have you installed it incorrectly. I also advise you to try redownload the file, as sometimes files break when downloading or using the hard drive.

northern siberia winds

the mod isn't working for me, this is the only lighting mod i have ever installed, ad i followed all of the instructions.

Leah

Hello! Yes!

northern siberia winds

hello is this mod and the controlled position compatible with the recent update?

Michelle O' Bryan

Hi! No.

northern siberia winds

Will this conflict with Sunblind Lighting Mod?

Ash

press the better in game lighting which is by all the other mods, scroll down and you can find which one to download. i easily found it lol

skye skye

how do you install?

angel Moncrieffe

Wondering the same thing tbh.

sarahelizasims

will it conflict with Luumia NoGlo and NoBlu mod?

Semaney Yin

im not them but I'm pretty sure you just remove the file from your mods folder

Kamala

Hi, I was wondering how I can remove the lighting? I feel dumb lol

Serenova

Hi! The archive is attached to the post.

northern siberia winds

I love your cc!! I wanted to ask if this was open to the public yet? I can't see a download link

Lexus Williams

Hi! No, it doesn't conflict with CAS lighting.

northern siberia winds

hi! love the mod, wanted to ask if this mod conflicts with Luumia's immersive cas lighting ?

Cami Cerbello

The archive attached to the post is fully functional. This problem occurs if you have an unstable Internet connection. I advise you to try downloading later.

northern siberia winds

I am having an issue where I can't extract the package files and it says that the file is either unknown (which i doubt cus I have been able to use package files before) or damaged so i wanted to let you know that something might be broken

Sunshine Crystal

Hi! No.

northern siberia winds

I'm new on this kind of thing, is this lighting mod compatible with out of the dark by lothorihoe?

Vantae

Hi! You don't need to download reshade.

northern siberia winds

Hi! Yes, it works with new versions of the game.

northern siberia winds

Do you have to download reshade for this to work? New simmer here

Ameera Brown

this versions works with the update 1.107.151.1020 ??

Dariela Vázquez

Hiiii this mod makes my game look so beautiful but my sims kind of glow a little bit? im using the average saturation light and dark rooms. is there anything i can do to fix this?

Nicole Newcomb

Hi! You only need to install one file from all the available files!

northern siberia winds

Do I choose either dark room or Lightroom? Or can I just put the whole mod in my mods folder?

Faith Hurst Joseph

Hi! All files have the appropriate names.

northern siberia winds

Hi! Yes, it will work together.

northern siberia winds

Hi! Yes, it also removes the blue tint.

northern siberia winds

Hi! This doesn't work with Luumia NoGlo and NoBlu because both of these mods affect the same part of the game's code. Amd it works with everything else.

northern siberia winds

How do i know which one is which when moving the file?

Advisor of advice

Would this mod work with the lighting mods like Sunblind or Milk thistle by softerhaze?

Emi

I have a question, does this mod work fine with Luumia NoGlo and NoBlu and CAS lighting or I can only choose either of these

nownowyouth

i am curious if this is better than Luumia NoGlo and NoBlu and CAS lighting, it is the only lighting mod i have used for YEARS. does any of this remove the blue tint? i mainly see blown out brightness, so i am just curious. thanks!

SiimplyJessica

I think only one.

B G.

Hi, do I choose one of each option (light and dark) or one only? Thanks!

Jessica Bromberg

I never knew that I needed this until today! The Extra extra dark saturated looks amazing in game!

daluved1

太感谢啦!!!就是觉得游戏里面人物黑黑的,现在就好了!!!爱你!

Dianna

Hi! I can't seem to download all the options through the .zip file, is there any alternative download?

Noname

谢谢你的客气话! 我很高兴你喜欢它 ♡

northern siberia winds

Hello! Yes, they conflict because both mods are lighting mods. If you have both mods in your folder, then one of them will not work.

northern siberia winds

I usually use gshade and this mod in my game! I like the way it looks together.

northern siberia winds

老师,这个mod真的太牛了,sim4有你真的了不起😭😭😭

废柴Cat

Hello, like Victoria Plays asked above, do you know if this conflicts with Lotharihoe's Out of the Dark mod? Tysm for your beautiful work! <3

Ri_Ro

beautiful! ♡

lavenderlibra

Hi lovely. I just want to know. Does this mod conflict with Lotharihoe’s Into the Light & Out of the Dark mods by any chance?🖤🖤

yes

Marissa Greaves

do gshades look more appealing or this?

NATASHA R.

Hi! One in general. Either dark rooms or light rooms.

northern siberia winds

Hi just making sure I was understanding from the above comment. I see the two subfolders from dark and light. I can only have 1 in general not 1 of each room?

Michelle O' Bryan

Hi! Yes, you only need to choose one of the components. Gshade presets are not in-game lighting (this is an overlay), so this mod will work with it!

northern siberia winds

Hi! I downloaded your mod and am ready to install. I just wanted to be sure how to do it: should I put in the mod directory, just one of the components? For example "AVERAGE BASE LIGHT ROOMS"? All other not? I only have "gshade-presets", that is considered as a mod that modifies the lights? Thanks in advance of your valuable help :)

Adriana Gerosa

Hi! Yes, it works with mac. Make sure that there are no other mods in your mods folder that somehow modify the game lighting (except sunblind, this mod works with it)!

northern siberia winds

Does this work with Mac, cause I have downloaded this mod several times and put a single file from it in my mods folder and it doesn't seem to work... am I doing something wrong?

Tol

Hi! This is compatible with sunblind and not compatible with luumia's no glo, but my mod also removes the "glow" as you can see in the pictures.

northern siberia winds

Hi! In the light rooms section! I was wrong the first time, but now I saw this comment again and realized it, ha-ha.

northern siberia winds

Hi there! I wanted to confirm about conflicting lighting mods with you bc I keep seeing conflicting reports from other ppl. Is this mod compatible with sunblind and luumia's no glo? I'll ask about no blu as well but I know this mod and sunblind help with that.

Thee 1sland Simmer

Hi my love.. which of them is the Average Base that you brought out the first time like the old one you renamed? Cause i want the old one but i'm confused. Have a nice day

ooOFaiiryOoo

I love this mod. Thanks for putting your passion and love into it!

0301_Nguyễn Trung Kiên

just useing your lighting mod and i love it makes everything look so real looking and pretty

Creative sims

Thank you 💞

northern siberia winds

At the moment I am using AVERAGE BASE LIGHT ROOMS. I advise you to try it and start from it, then take it darker or lighter if necessary.

northern siberia winds

install the file in the root folder (not in a subfolder), make sure that only this one file is in the root folder (the rest should be in the subfolder). if the mod works after that, then there was a file with game lighting somewhere. if it doesn't work, then update the game.

northern siberia winds

amazing

Creative sims

What's your fave?

AnneDreamSims

Not working for me. I don't have noblue or any lighting mods

Kyemera

This is global lighting that affects all characters/animals etc.

northern siberia winds

It conflicts with mods that affect in-game lighting, you can only install one such mod in your game, but this mod also removes the blue glow

northern siberia winds

Does this work with infants? When the mom holds the baby, the mom has this lighting mod but the baby still has EA'S lighting.

Glorie Lilly

will this work with the luumia no blue mod?

Dannie

Thank you! 😭 northernsiberiawinds.tumblr.com ❤

northern siberia winds

Professor Northen, you are amazing! This is exactly what my sims needs! Do you have a tumblr account? I want to @ you when posting my favorite sim photos

Ruilan

thank u!!

Celina

Hi! Yes, you can only install one version. Not one from each folder, but only one file.

northern siberia winds

Sorry this might be a dumb question LOL but we only pick ONE file to put in our mods folder correct? I first put one file from each the "dark" and "light" folders in but its just one file total? If you understand what im asking

Celina

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UZJ8vVNvVqIPynTgxpLZYE69SLGl2JE2?usp=drive_link Try this link! Here are the files without the archive.

northern siberia winds

It still won't let me open the file. I'm sure it's just my computer being dumb 😭

toxxic

I replaced the archive! Try again. Although the last one worked for me the same way.

northern siberia winds

I've downloaded it three times but for some reason it won't work. I just downloaded your cas position mod with no problem

toxxic

Hi! Try to redownload. The file may have been corrupted when downloading!

northern siberia winds

Hi, this won't let me extract the file. It says it's corrupted?

toxxic

Hi! I've never tried using shaders myself, so I don't even know. But you can download the mod and see how it will look. And then delete if you don't like the result.

northern siberia winds

Hey! Quick question. I use a shader in my game, one that already ups the saturation and brightness. Do you think I need this then?

Aquina Laban

Hi! This works with softer hazes sunblind, but does not work with noblu and noglo.

northern siberia winds

hi, this question may be redundant but i'm new to lighting mods and still confused. Does this work with softer hazes sunblind world lighting as well as noblu and noglo?

cheekytrait

thank youuu

Janiah Dtn

Just put one of the files directly into the «mods» folder and don't forget to remove other lighting mods if you had any! ❤️

northern siberia winds

thank you! im still trying to learn how to use it ona macbook

Janiah Dtn

Hi. It works for mac!

northern siberia winds

does this work for macbooks?

Janiah Dtn

Hi! In «dark rooms» the lighting in the rooms is darker, and in «light rooms» the lighting in the rooms is lighter. The «dark rooms» option looks more realistic, I think. But I like «light rooms» more, because I'm tired of putting light bulbs all over the house so that my character's face becomes at least a little brighter, ha-ha.

northern siberia winds

this is a lifesaver! what is the difference between light rooms and dark rooms?

Giulia Valentini

Has your game been updated? If yes, it means that you still have another lighting mod somewhere in your folder («no glo», «no blue» and any others like that) otherwise it will work.

northern siberia winds

It doesn't work in my game, I don't have any other lighting mod or reshade 😭

simswhimscreations

Thank you for such a detailed comment! I am really very glad that you found it useful! I will be glad to see more of your works! ❤️

northern siberia winds

You're amazing. This is such a game changer! Taking pics in game is always my least favourite part of cc making and now the editing process will be so much more pleasant thanks to you! <3

BlahberryPancake

It will be in 3-6 hours, because I am now finishing work on additional versions with darker rooms that I was previously asked for, and I want to release the mod already with it!

northern siberia winds

Waiting for the release 🥲

simswhimscreations

Hi. It works for mac!

northern siberia winds

does this work on mac?

simswhimscreations

Certainly! I'll post it a little later.

northern siberia winds

can we get that reshade preset?

WaterGank77

💗💗💗

northern siberia winds

<3

yamsieyams

Thank you for your kind words! 💗 I'm glad you found it useful! No, it shouldn't be broken by the new update. But if it happens, I will fix it on the same day.

northern siberia winds

i paid just to get this early lol it is fantastic, changes my entire game!! tysm!! also, is there any way that this will be broken by the infant update?

Danica Gerber

Hi! I will advise you to check your mods folder more carefully, because, most likely, there is a duplicate of another lighting mod in it (in all such cases it was so). If you can't find this file, then I can advise you to create two folders "_mods" and "mods" inside your mods folder. And put the file with my lighting mod in the "_mods" folder, and put all the other files or your folders (in general, everything except Resource.cfg) in the "mods" folder. Thus, my lighting will load into the game first and will work, despite the fact that there is another lighting mod in the second folder.

northern siberia winds

Hi! Love the idea of this mod! For some reason when I place it in my mods folder and open the game I don't see a difference. I have tried the bright base and the bright saturated versions, separately, and have removed my ootd + ittl lighting mods. Does softerhaze's newest lighting mod conflict with this? Or does cas lighting conflict with this? Sorry for the rambling, just really want to use this mod but I can't seem to get it to work :/

glo

thank you for your kind feedback 💗

northern siberia winds

thank u sooo much for ur work!Amazing!

雀桠

They all fit! But the brighter versions will be brighter in sunny midday weather! I advise you to try the average base version and then choose from your feelings about it!

northern siberia winds

i'm looking forward to this! which one of these types best match your gentle cas lighting mod?

yuri

That's what I wanted to do! ❤️ And because I wanted to look at the beautiful faces of my sims right in the game. Because I can't turn on the reshade every time or put lamps around the sim in every place, haha

northern siberia winds

Thank you! I will publish it soon! ❤️

northern siberia winds

Hi you! This is a godsent. I'm on mac so i cant use reshade and I've been searching sooo hard for something like this! this really changes my playing experience :)) tysm

Josephine Le.

omg thank you so much for this, it's perfect! would you post your reshade preset? I love how the sim in the title picture looks! ❤️

jophiel

❤️❤️❤️!

northern siberia winds

От богини слышу! ❤️ Спасибо! Я рада, что он пригодится в игре :3

northern siberia winds

Я уж думала, что никогда не закончу :D рада, что он будет полезен! ❤️

northern siberia winds

Thank you! I hope you enjoy it!💗

northern siberia winds

ahh finally! i did NOT know how to use reshade

Kusupho

Ты Богиня!!!! Спасибо большое, теперь симы не будут такими страшными в игре хд

Lady Moriel

Ну все, убила просто.. спасибо за твой замечательный труд!🤗

ANGISSI

Of course! I did all my recent CC previews in a pair of this Mod + ReShade.

northern siberia winds

Can i use this with reshade?

Casey

Oh my I love this! I am excited to try this right away,

Kiara Tan

Thank you! And no, these mods won't work together!

northern siberia winds

Thank you very much! 💗 I'm glad I finally finished the first version of this mod! As far as I know, softerhaze mods only change the "colors" of city lighting, I didn't touch this part. So softerhaze mod and mine should not conflict in theory. In addition, the softerhaze mod replaces the game files and it can not be put in the mods folder, so my mod will be installed "from above" anyway.

northern siberia winds

This looks amazing! I'm assuming this isn't compatible with neither Luumia's NoBlu and NoGlo?

Eusol

Incredible, amazed you finished this long awaited project - so proud of you for accomplishing this, such potential for more beauty! I'm impressed you were able to figure out how to effect indoor and outer lighting as some only focus on one and not the other. I'm unsure if you've seen Softerhaze's Sunblind and Milk Thistle lighting mods (https://softerhaze.itch.io) yet or not but I'm assuming they likely conflict? I cannot wait to try yours out! Thank you so much for all the hard work!

Dovelette

In the future I want to make a collection of shadows for the face and body to replace the reshade in this aspect too 👀

northern siberia winds

Yes! Just put it in your mods folder. And don't forget to remove other mods that affect in-game lighting if you have it!

northern siberia winds

Do you just add this into your mods folder?

SapsCozyCorner

Absolute game changer. I dont have to use reshade anymore to hide the darn ugly sims lighting, now live mode sims looks like CAS
