Created with patch version 1.95.207.1030
Sunblind is a fully custom, realistic lighting overhaul created for The Sims 4. Unlike my previous mods, none of the lighting in this mod is based on existing EA lighting and each world is individually tuned to ensure the best possible fit. Some other features include:
∴ Vivid color shifting sunsets and sunrises, with deep, saturated shadows and a unique summer sunset
∴ More realistic daytime lighting - less blue than ea’s default, but still somewhat saturated to better emulate light bouncing (Unlike no-blu mods, which entirely desaturate daytime lighting and shadows)
∴ Ultra dark, desaturated lighting and shadows late at night

PS: This was a pretty massive undertaking and required a lot of testing on my part. I feel pretty confident that I caught all of the weird little lighting bugs (that I caused <3), but if you see something that seems off when compared to the various previews I’ve posted, please let me know! Even if you’re unsure if what you’re seeing is odd lighting, send it my way and we’ll figure it out ✨
Update 2/13/2023: fixed sunrises having the wrong shadow color during spring, added files for EP11 (cottage living) which were not present somehow (?!?!?!?)
Update 2/19/2023: fixed overly bright daytime lighting on Mt. Komorebi’s summit and base camps, fixed “negative shadow” bug that sometimes occurred late at night in seasons other than summer
s/o to @/pictureamoebae for helping to find this bug and testing these changes out!
