Cinema Secrets Lighting Mod

Cinema Secrets Lighting Mod is the spiritual successor to the Maxis Match Lighting Mod that aims to keep the stuff I like with MM Lighting Mod, but integrate some aspects I like in the Radiance Lighting Mod and try to fix issues that plagued both.

For a comparison of all the lighting mod indoor settings, check the comparison photos.

Sweet Little Lies - A Set of Lipstick Defaults [DOWNLOAD]

This is a redux of my old Sweet Wonderful You lip defaults from 2018 because I wanted to change it up a bit. These defaults have a new alpha that’s less transparent than Sweet Wonderful You but can still suit a variety of skintones.

On top of that, the glossy lips use a texture blend of SWY and @antoninko‘s Together Lipstick so the matte and glossy lips now have different textures.

Defaults only for now, but I have plans to make nondefaults and additional colors at some point. Thumbnails are the same as SWY.

BLUE SNOW NO MORE: Shader Fixes

I’ve included these fixes that remove the blue snow at night along with my MM Lighting Mod for the longest time, but here it is repackaged for those who just want the shader fixes without having to download my entire lighting mod. 

Important info about mod conflicts under the cut.

UPDATE (7/18/2021):

  • just found out that the main shader file conflicts with @lazyduchess Overly Bright CAS fix so I included their fixes with the main shader fixes. If you have LD’s file, make sure to remove it from your Downloads folder.
  • added a version of the lot water that uses Moi’s green version of the lake water.
  • added a roof shader edit that uses Deastrumquodvicis’s version of the roof shader 

UPDATE (09/01/2021):

  • Added back the version of the mod WITHOUT the Bright CAS fix (mostly for those who use DXVK)
  • For new installs/updates, choose only one Main shader file - one with the CAS fix and one that does

ALT NEIGHBORHOODS UPDATE

I just integrated some of the stealth hood families to Alt Pleasantview, Alt Strangetown and Alt Veronaville. If you haven’t already started a hood (or want to reset), navigate to the respective posts to download the updated hoods.

I also made a few changes to some of the Alt VV lots, especially with Capp Manor and Regan Capp’s branch. 

All hoods also have updated CC bundles so please redownload them.

Many Sims have relocated to the quiet, comfortable countryside, in the hopes that life and family can firmly plant their roots in the middle of nowhere. Fresh crops aren't the only thing growing in the farming community of Riverblossom Hills – love is in the air and many a relationship is on the verge of blossoming. 

Unfortunately, problems are bound to sprout in a town this small. Things are looking up, but hearts can always turn cold with the onset of winter.

A lot has happened in 25 years, but some new faces in town are stirring up rivalries and creating tension for the once happy families. Can anything be done to get the neighborhood feeling good again?

ALT PLEASANTVIEW V2 (2021 re-release) [Main Hood | Subhood]

It’s been a couple of years since I released Alt Pleasantview V2 and after releasing Alt Strangetown V2 and Alt Veronaville V2 this year, I wanted to put ALPV on par with the other BG hoods so I ended up with enough changes for a 2021 re-release.

Truth-seekers move to Strangetown hoping to discover the secrets the town holds. Do aliens live among us? Do missing Sims mysteriously appear here? In this town nothing is what it seems.

ALT STRANGETOWN V2 [Main Hood | Subhood]

The last of the revamps of the three TS2 base game neighborhoods is finally complete (Alt Pleasantview V2, Alt Veronaville V2). 

I don’t really play Strangetown that very often so I didn’t know what I could offer here. Then inspiration struck and Alt Strangetown V2 was born. Click here to view the household photos.

ALT VERONAVILLE V2 [DOWNLOAD]

An unprecedented deal with the afterlife gave the “lost generation” of Capps and Montys a second chance at changing the course. Will the two families ever repair their rift? Or will it uncover even more differences?

At last, after maybe a month’s worth of work (on and off), Alt Veronaville V2 is finally here.

re-remaxified skinblend (download for free @ patreon)

i've been wanting to edit @pixeldolly's re-maxified skintones for a while but only got around to doing the tedious simpe texture importing process.

what's changed:

for this blend, I changed the eyelids and lips to the one I used in my io skinblend edit and added additional options for defaults.

what's included:

- defaults for s1-s4

  • S1 has only one option
  • for S2, you can choose between S2 and S2.5 as your default
  • for S3, you can choose between S3 and S3.5 as your default
  • for S4, you can choose between S4 and S4.5 as your default

- geneticized and townified versions of s1-s4.5

  • s1, s2, s3, s3.5, and s4 use ghanima's original packages so you can't use both at the same time
  • s2.5 and s4.5 use my own packages so they shouldn't conflict with anything

- a pale (s0.5) and dark skintone (s5) swatch

  • s5 uses the package for jawusa's castaway skintone
  • s0 used its own package so it shouldn't conflict with anything

- defaults for aliens, zombies, plantsims, and genies

  • for aliens, you can choose between green (AG) and mint (AM)
  • for plantsims, you can choose between green (PSG) and olive (PSO)
