Starting to set up some families in my 1t2 hood and Tiffany and Brad have insane chemistry. 3 bolters! They were just constantly ACR-ing while I tried to playtest their house lol

Patricia Wan is definitely the type of sim to start her morning with tea on the patio, planning every hour of the day. Cleo wakes up around 11AM to dump a ton of creamer into day old coffee. The pains of being a journalist and musician couple.

The Lothario Condo

After much hair-pulling, I finally feel satisfied enough to release my mod to restore those glorious shiny floors from The Sims 2 beta! (Forever in our hearts...)

You can download it here :)

Prerelease (2003):

Doesn't the beta lighting look so nice? :(

Mod (not 2003):

Why yes, I did painstakingly try to recreate the room from the prerelease image and make elder versions of the Sims - it was absolutely a productive use of my time.

I've made sure to make a number of vanilla TS2 floors reflective out of the box. These are mostly marble floors, but there's a few stone/tile/wood floors in there too. If you want to add reflections to custom floors (or other vanilla floors not included by default), I've left some basic instructions on the GitHub page on how to do this :)

Because this is a cut beta feature, there are a few minor issues with it - I have detailed these in the README. Please take the time to read through them!

I also had to include an edit to the mirror reflection shader to fix a bug where mirrors visible in the floor reflections would be flashing red (Castaway Stories has the same issue with mirrors reflected in the ocean, funnily enough). I'm not aware of any other mods that touch the mirror shaders, but if there are, let me know and I'll whip up a compatibility patch.

Oh, and in case you missed it, I released a small update to the reflective water mod, as per the request of @lordcrumps. I didn't realise houses didn't reflect in the hood water, but now they do!

Enjoy!
