This mod fixes Sims' shadows shown as black rectangles. Originally, correctly rendered Sims' shadows have a blue tint. This mod makes the shadows achromatic. You may use this mod even if your game has no problems with rendering shadows.
The mod also works with The Sims: Life Stories, The Sims: Castaway Stories and The Sims: Pet Stories. There are three versions which differ in the opaque (see the screenshot below) – choose only one. ![]() Restoring shadows You probably have turned (Sims') shadows off when a problem with black rectangles occurred. To make this mod useful you have to turn them back on. Here's how to do it: In the game, set Shadows setting in Graphics/Performance Options to high. If you still cannot see Sims' shadows, in Graphics Rules.sgr (in [Latest EP/SP folder or basegame folder if you don't have any EPs or SPs]\TSData\Res\Config) find option Shadows. This is what you'd see:
Code:
You have to delete boolProp simShadows false and boolProp simShadows off from userStartup.cheat (in Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 (or The Sims™ 2 Ultimate Collection)\Config) too, if this file exist and those lines are in it.
Known bugs Sim shadows overlap and cut simetimes, but it isn't caused by the mod. Update (2 JAN 16): If you have downloaded simNopke-simShadowFix0.X and Sims' shadows in your game are misty, try out simNopke-simShadowFix0.XreallyNotMisty instead. That bug may occur on some Intel HD graphics cards. ![]() Conflicts None that I know of. Overriden resource
