Masterpost: All the Lighting Mods for The Sims 2 ✨

I'm making this post both because I like to group things under one post and because I need it as a link to add to my tracker, but still I think it will be useful for many!

Look here for other masterposts!

Lighting Mods

# Gunmod's Radiance Light System 2.4 by dDefinder on ModTheSims - A realistic, extremely dramatic, sometimes very dark lighting mod that increases the intensity of colors, lights and shadows and adds sunrise and sunset to the game (they don't exist in the vanilla game)

#Gunmod's Radiance Light System 2.5 edited by @dreadpirate - An updated version of the aforementioned lighting, with much more compatibility with many shaders and less blue nights! Every Season it have they own lighting color: Summer is vibrant, autumn has warm colors, winter has cold colors, and spring has a little yellowish "filter".

#Maxis Match Lighting Mod by Dreadpirate - The environment is more saturated and bright, removes the dull gray tint that vanilla game has. Everything is smoother and more uniform. The shadows are calm, exactly like the ones in the vanilla game. Each season has its own lighting, the nights are black instead of blue and it has many compatibility with many shaders. This one also has sunrise and sunset.

#Cinema Secret by Dreadpirate (@veronavillequiltingbee) - A perfect mix between the Gunmod Radiance and the Maxis Match Lighting mod. It use elements of both, such as the shadows and calm colors of the MM Lighting Mods but the intensity of the lights of the Gunmod Radiance (especially noticeable when using neon lights). It has many compatibility with many shaders, the nights are black instead of blue, it has sunrise and sunset and every season has its own lighting.

#SpookyMuffin Lighting Mod - Recommended by a user in the comments! I don't know how to talk about this Lighting Mod because I've never used it, but the post on the site explains what it consists of!

#The Sims 2 Beta Lighting - By opening the link you will see a YouTube video by @boringbones that will explain how to have The Sims 2 Beta lighting! (The download can be accessed from his Discord link in the video description)

#5:55 Lighting by Bugjartimedecayoff - An edit of Radiance 2.4, with much brighter outdoor lighting at night (very similar to Maxis' default night lighting) and soft peach-tinted dusk & dawn lights.

#Rae-diance Lighting by Raemia - Another edit of Radiance 2.4, with the differences being brighter nighttime lighting & brighter unlit rooms, plus reduced room-saturation.

#Original Vanilla Lighting Backup Here!

Lighting Mods for the Neighborhood

#Neighborhood Lighting Remedy by Criquette - This lighting mod is ONLY for the neighborhood and you can use it together with any of the three lighting mods mentioned above. Fixes the direction of the lights and shadows to be consistent with that of the lot imposters and makes it more consistent with lot mode.

#Accurate Neighborhood Terrain Lighting by @simnopke - This lightind mod is like the above one. It is only for the neighborhood and can be used in conjunction with a DP & dDefinder lighting mod but NOT in conjunction with Criquette's NH Lighting Remedy.

EDIT: simnopke said: "My Accurate Nhood Terrain Lighting mod does something different than Criquette's Nhood Lighting Remedy and can be used with it. Moreover, my mod has two versions intended for use with Criquette's mod."

Lighting Mods for the CAS (Create a Sim)

#Minimalistic CAS Lighting Mod Replacement with Custom Light by Dreadpirate - This lighting mod is CAS ONLY and can be used together with a dDefinder or DP lighting mod and a lightind mod for the neighborhood. Using similar lighting to the MM Lighting Mod, it makes the CAS more saturated and smooth. You have to change a value in a lights file within the game install path but it's worth it!

One small problem I've noticed is that when used with lighting mods other than the MM Lighting mod it often doesn't work well even if the value is correctly changed. For example, when I changed the lighting mod and switched from MM to Cinema Secret, it triggered the super lighted sims bug in CAS which I didn't have before. But then again, this could be just my problem. There is fix by Lazy Duchess for this bug but you need to be very careful. Sometimes it conflicts with some shaders (as in my case) and unleashes an absurd pink soup even in bodyshop even if bodyshop shouldn't have anything to do with it. But AS ALWAYS, maybe it's only a problem of mine because I'm very unlucky.

EXTRA SHADERS BUT NOT REQUIRED

#Better Nightlife by @criquette-was-here - Even if it does not change anything graphically with colors, lights and shadows like a lighting MOD it adds shaders that allow the deco hoods to light up during the night. So for example, by downloading hood decos compatible with this shader you can have street lamps that light up on the street (in the neighborhood), buildings lit up at night, lit bridges etch.

#Blue Snow No More by Dreadpirate - This shader removes the blue tint that snow creates even if you use lighting mods that make the night black instead of blue. Many DP lighting mods (Like MM Lighting Mod) have this shader already included, so you don't need to download it, this is an individual shader if you don't use their lighting mods. To be honest, neither the shader INSIDE the lighting mod nor the shader by itself has never worked for me, but I think there is a problem in my download folder at this point or I am very unlucky.

#Overly Bright CAS Fix by @lazyduchess - As I have already explained before, this mod fixes the bug of super enlightened sims in CAS. Sometimes it can conflict with something (which I don't quite understand with what) and trigger an absurd pink soup, so if you suddenly start to notice more pink soup than usual try to remove it and see how it goes.

Maybe it just conflicts with some lighting mod or some shader. In my case it could be the DP's lighting mod for the CAS.

#Moi Shader Roof by niol on ModThe Sims - This shader fixes the lighting of roofs which sometimes appear much darker than their texture. Many lighting mods from DP have this shader included OR are compatible with this shader. So check the descriptions under their lighting mods before downloading it.

#Brighter Roofs...But Not Too Bright! by Deastrumquodvicis on ModTheSims - Same as the previous shader, but makes the roofs less bright than they show with the aforementioned shader. This shader uses Moi's shader as a base, so you can NOT use both. Use only one. Many lighting mods from DP have this shader included OR are compatible with this shader. So check the descriptions under their lighting mods before downloading it.

#Moi's Neighbourhood Water Global Mod by niol on ModTheSims - This mod changes the water color of the neighborhood. Nothing more nothing less. Many DP mods are compatible with this shader.

#Pond & Sea Water Overhaul by Voeille on ModTheSims - This mod changes the water of the sea and ponds and makes it more realistic using The Sims 2 Castaway water shaders. Many DP mods are compatible with this shader but for some shaders like Better Nightlife it needs a little more attention. For example, if you use Better Nightlife you will need to use the version of these shaders provided by the Better Nightlife link to be compatible. So you have to delete these for use their shaders if you want both.

You can't use this together Moi's Water.

#A World Lit by Fire by hat_play_sims on dreamwidth - This mod itself doesn't change shaders dramatically, but it change the color of some lights and make them more sensate. I'll explain: many maxis lights that are powered by candles or should give off a warm light regardless, give off a cool, white light instead. Have you ever seen a candle emitting white light? No! This mod fixes all lights in the game and makes lights that need to be warm... warm. Perfect for history-themed saves or for the ones like me, completely obsessed with candlelight in this game. Many DP mods are compatible with this shader. It's immensely beautiful when used with the dramacity of the Radiance System but works quite well with other lighting mods as well.

Boring Bones "RENOVAÇÃO DELICIOSA" no black plates edit

This is a edit of Boring Bones "RENOVAÇÃO DELICIOSA" food retexture mod. All credit should be given by @boringbones!

Original mod here

This Edit just removes the black plate files of the mod. So you can use it with your plate replacement or vanilla plates if you have none installed. For this showcase I used these fancy default plates.

This mod goes to overides.

In Boring Bones terms of use reads that editing their mods is fine. But if they dont like the edit out in the internet I would delete it immediately.

enjoy

Tag 9 People You Want to Know Better

Better late than never, right? 😅 I know it’s been months but I really do appreciate the tag! I love doing these and having a chance to connect with you guys. 💗 (More to come–I'm catching up on all of them. 🫣)

@boringbones, I love Marie Forleo, too! Her book actually put me on the spiritual path before I knew it was the spiritual path. I’m also a writer, and am sharing my own inner-growth and spiritual journey on my blog, Story & Teller! I’d love to support you–does your book have an English translation? Also, I think we’re all obsessed with your obsession to make TS3 better! @descendantdragfi I know this was a while back but I’m still going to shout-out: I thought Hunt for the Wilderpeople was a fantastic movie! @obscurus-noctem I love the Witcher soundtracks. Perfect mood music for writing my fantasy novel! 🤭

Here we go...

Last Song: A lo-fi, easy-listening song called The Realization by Kinissue. I like lo-fi a lot for when I’m working or writing, just vibes going in the background. 🎶

Last Show: The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart on Prime. It was SO GOOD I'm not even kidding. Beautifully done, emotional, evocative...just go watch it! 🥹 I get emo just looking at the cover lmao I won't be forgetting it anytime soon.

Currently Watching: On the to-finish list: His Dark Materials and Shadow & Bone

Currently Reading: The Horsewoman by James Patterson and Mike Lupica (Researching the equestrian theme for Ryan's story!) I'm also reading a variety of nonfiction books, one on novel-writing and the other on money mindset.

Current Obsession:  My writing! And creating art. I’ve recently learned how to appreciate my gifts as an artist and creator (which I know that sounds funny, but it's a thing! We're so bad about undervaluing ourselves.), so I’m going all-in on building a life around the things I love to do most. 💗 I’m also super passionate about (re)building my community over on Equus-Sims, where I get to connect with my fellow writers and simmers every day. 😁

@thedanishsim @thesimperiuscurse @nectar-cellar @plumbobem @catharsim @tau1tvec @pixelplayground @pixelglam @oatsimss @oakiyo @warmsol @littlefrenchsims @walnuthillfarm @kamill-sims

Я месяц почти не заходила в симс. Только иногда и ненадолго. Жара спала, у меня свободный вечер и я решила поиграть. Заодно проверила новое освещение от @boringbones. Ну что я могу сказать… это очень красиво. Невероятное небо, шикарное отражение в воде, потрясающие тени. Но у всего этого есть одно но… Даже с дополнительным охлаждением моя видеокарта стремиться куда то в небеса по температуре и это даже без решейда. Решейд я включала только для фото и думала моя видеокарта сейчас задымит… Так жаль, это правда очень красиво.

I haven't logged into the Sims for a month. Only sometimes and not for long. The heat subsided, I have a free evening and I decided to play. At the same time I checked out the new lighting from @boringbones. Well what can I say… it's very beautiful. Incredible sky, gorgeous reflection in the water, stunning shadows. But all this has one but … Even with additional cooling, my video card tends to go somewhere in the sky in terms of temperature, and this is even without a reshade. I turned on the reshade only for the photo and I thought my video card would start to smoke now … It's a pity, it's really very beautiful.

omg im big fan of ur mods ur amazing i dont know if u take request for mods but im interested to see a mod that sims have to brush their teeth or its going to be yellow and smelly and they have to buy brush and toothpaste and they need to take shower with bath shower and shampo or their hair will be smelly and oily and their body will smell too and they can take warm,cold,hot showers and if we can get a mod air conditioner like the ts4 we can put on hot and cold and warm that will be realistic

Aww, thanks! I actually considered including dentistry as part of the Private Clinic mod and to introduce dental hygiene into the game but at the end of the day, I'd be too annoyed with having my Sims keep up with this level of IRL minutiae in my game.

For the shower gel idea, check out this little gem from @phoebejaysims: https://phoebejaysims.tumblr.com/post/691031315495157760/bubble-baths-run-out-for-over-a-decade-bubble

And I think someone is working on something like an air conditioning mod but I don't want to out them in case they've dropped it or don't want to share more until it's complete so that idea is already in the ether.

ETA: @bietjie also suggested this mod that makes Sims brush their teeth before bed: https://www.tumblr.com/boringbones/719922006180724736/from-now-on-hygiene-related-behaviors-of-your?source=share

[panszy]

one sim day of @boringbones classic revival mod and my sim is already a bit of an alcoholic... she's going through a bit of a rough time rn and needs alcohol (plus ani's drunk mod for the positive buffs) to do any chores whatsoever

[hiddencowplant]

Hello, please help me, I love your city with all my heart. The problem is that there are no NPCs in public areas. How do I set them up?

Thank you!

I don’t know any other way than using a mod to fix that. Lazyduchess has one called lot population, I think Boringbones also has a mod that helps with empty lots and streets :)
