BRIGHTER FOUNDATIONS

DOWNLOAD: GOOGLE DRIVE / PATREON

This mod is an attempt to fix the old issue of foundations being too dark and their colors never matching anything else.

There’s a darkening gradient applied to all buildings in the game which makes the bottom of walls look darker. It’s there to make them blend in with the environment, I suppose, but that comes at the expense of color fidelity.

What I did was change the darkening amount from 50% to 10%, and now the foundation textures actually match the rest of the textures in the game! What a concept.

Here are some before and afters:

Eco Lifestyle Geothermal & Natural Well Lot Trait Tuning

Just wanted to make various options for the values that these lot traits give in power/water. The numbers at the end of the filename are the number of the rate of charge per day.

There are 16 options to choose from and you can choose different ones for each lot trait. The game’s default is 28.57 per day on an empty lot for reference (200 weekly). How much water/power consumption/production your lot has will affect these numbers normally as far as I’m aware. Using these is kinda cheaty, but the 1440 is really the standout. I’m personally going to be using 50 per day.

Choose only one of each!

Natural Well Lot Trait

It seems like there is an ongoing issue with some (if not all) downloads on SimFileShare. Once you click to download you may get an error that reads: “503 Service Temporarily Unavailable” but if you click your browser’s back button the download may go through.

It seems that the owner of S4S has been made aware of the issue so hopefully it will be fixed soon.

a very long ass written tutorial on how to do a render.

I’ve split it up into sections, creating your sim, ripping accessories, ripping your sim, finding a pose (or you can make your own), saving your file and then setting your scene for rendering.

if you’re new to blender, this is a bit more beginner friendly but i highly recommend you actually learn blender. Blender guru on YouTube is a great place to start.

if you’re not new to blender (ie you know how to make a pose or convert an object), you can skip to the end.

I’ll be editing this because i’m sure my grammar is off and i could explain certain things better, but yeah

If you have any questions, read my ask tag before you ask me the same question someone else probably did.
