"Too many iterations." REQUESTS CLOSED

I'm 15 years late to the party here, but wondering if anyone uses Boiling Oil's Alien Experiments mod? It's got a pretty impressive list of abduction outcomes, from regular pregnancy, to supernatural transformations, to electrocution and death. It seems very customizable, but maybe I like just having the alien pregnancy outcome? I'm curious what other players think.

It also appears that veetiesims2 once made an "Alien Experiments Mod Expanded," but the link below this MidgetheTree post is dead. I'd be curious in seeing more details if anyone has a working link?

Overview

Heya!

These days I spent lots of time fixing lot skirt shader - and it turned into something more. I was to rewrite many game shaders to get consistent look of terrain and snow, and now, it's ready to be published! Attempted to fix inconsistent lighting, implemented transparent lot skirt roads - so that they match the rest of lot skirt terrain, more and more!

Improvements

Consistent lighting - lot skirt, lot terrain and roads now match.

All lighting states compatible - dusk, dawn, seasonal changes work well.

Every lighting mod compatible - works even with maxis lighting.

New snow shaders (lot skirt, lot terrain and roofs) - fixed ugly shading, proper reaction to every lighting state.

Fixed lot imposters - now their terrain is rendered as well as possible.

Transparent lot skirt roads - now it's possible to use road textures with transparent cuts so that it matches lot skirt terrain.

Now reflective pond water doesn't require pools - its reflections work by reflective plane placed in lot corner.

Neighborhood roads have light snow pass.

Installation

Put the contents into your downloads folder (contains default replacement of maxis roads making them transparent, you may delete these files if you use road default replacements). Remember, my shaders must be loaded last to prevent conflicts!

Reflective Pond Water

First step - choose respective to lot size reflective plane:

Second step - place it in the lot corner so that the plane covers every lot tile:

Third step - enjoy reflective ponds; there's no need to keep pools or something like that in the scene, reflections work independently:
