LUX Lights (Mod Kit) - UPDATE 2.0

Dear all,

I'm very happy to announce that my first Sims 4 Mod Update since I left in 2022, is now available to download for all! 🥳

I'm updating this Mod Kit right in time for the release of Cozy Lights, which is now available for early access, you can grab it here! 

-------------------------

🆕 What's New ?

Redesigned Lighting Menus

Just like Cozy Lights, LUX Lights is getting a re-designed lights pie menu, as well as a quick turn on/off option, which I've missed a lot while playing (see down below)

This redesign is overriding the lighting menus for all lights in the game. Only selected lamps from LUX Lights and Cozy Lights get the quick Turn On/Off interaction. If you'd like to see it for all lights in-game, please let me know!

Better Lighting Graphics

Several lamps from LUX Lights gets the new and improved lighting effect I created for Cozy Lights, which means at night, lights will get a soft glow/halo around them, which drastically improves the look of lighting in your game, without the need of re-shade or any other complicated graphics mods. If you like this feature, I could try to add it to all lights in the game. For now, it's only available for a selection of my custom lights in both mod kits.

Brand New Floating Moon Lamp

The floating moon lamp has been remade from scratch! The previous version looked cheap and even though it rotated, it didn't really light up. This one floats, rotates, and lights up with the new soft glow feature!

Full Changelog : all the improvements and fixes

Here's the list of all the improvements and fixes for this Mod Kit!

• Re-designed Lighting Menus and Icons

• New quick Turn On/Off Interaction (for select lamps only)

• Brand New Floating Moon Light

• Revamped textures and lighting for LED Squares and Hexagons

• Texture improvements for all the suspended and vintage lightbulbs

• New logo and thumbnails

• Improved LED Strips 3D Mesh

• Fixed the footprint/placement errors for several lights

• All items naming have been improved/fixed so you can now search for "LUX" or "Arnie" in the build/buy catalog searchbar to find them!

• The "LUX Lights Simlish Logo Lamp" and the "2x1 LED Strips" have been deprecated

• Some code is now shared between LUX Lights and Cozy Lights for certain features. These two mod kits will preferably need to be both updated at the same time in order to work properly. A LIGHTING KITS COLLECTION combining LUX Lights, Cozy Lights and a third Lighting Mod Kit will be available at some point, merging into a lights mod collection/pack!

I’m so happy to be back creating Sims content and sharing it with you all once again. I’ve missed you, and I’ve missed working on and releasing smaller projects. I’m incredibly grateful to be back, and I’m excited for this new adventure. Thank you so much for the warm ‘welcome back’ messages - I’ve read them all, and I truly appreciate it! 💙

With love,

Arnie
