Hi! Sorry if i’m being dumb but, that lighting mod you use, I installed it to my game but.. There’s no changes? :( Like, all the lighting is the same, there’s no dawn or dusk, I don’t know what I’ve done wrong, do I have to start on a new lot to see the changes?

Hmmm, I’m not really sure. Did you make sure to rename the file to “lighting.txt”? (Spookymuffin’s comes with a different name, you have to rename it yourself because the game will only recognize “lighting.txt”. This enables you to rename the Maxis lighting to something else and you can just keep it in your folder as a backup.) 

Are you using the Ultimate Collection? The install path looks a bit different than what’s listed in the GoS thread. For example, mine is in K:Program Files (x86)Origin GamesThe Sims 2 Ultimate CollectionDouble DeluxeBaseTSDataResLights. 

The only other suggestion I have is to make sure your game is closed, reinstall the file, then restart. 

I’m sorry if any of this came across as condescending, I don’t mean for it to. D: I just literally went through everything step by step myself to make sure I wasn’t missing something. I hope you’re able to get it to work, anon! 

Does anyone else have suggestions that I might’ve missed?
