Off the subject at hand, but still sorta related: an article in the LA Times about how Sim City (the greatgrandpa of Sims 1) led people who played it to become actual city planners:
From video game to day job: How ‘SimCity’ inspired a generation of city planners

@Honeywell I tried them on one house but they are not showing up.

Try them in two houses - preferably an unoccupied lot and see how you make out.

P.S. If you don't want the unoccupied house lit up you can add them to a solid wall and you won't see them. If you have 20ish minutes the how to video might help.

I did watch your video the day I downloaded them. Thank you for that. Now I don't know if this is connected but it is a shrunk lot (and yes occupied), but the front and back where I placed the film isn't shrunk. I can't place them on the side where there is only 1 tile of room, they need the grid to place. Just thought I would mention that. I will try on an unshrunk unoccupied lot.

Jo, I'm positive it doesn't matter if the lots are shrunk or not as to whether they'll light up or not. Well, it obviously matters for placing them -- you do need 2 tiles around the lot edge to place them on the grid. It's not random the way the game generates the lot imposter textures - I can reproduce which lots light and don't light every single time - but how is a mystery to me. The only thing I didn't mention in my video was that which walls you have the lights on in a lot might matter as well. For example, with the tower if I put them on all 4 walls they don't light (without that second unoccupied lot being lit like I show) but if I only put lights on two sides of the tower (the front and the back) they will light.

It's a matter of trial and error, I'm afraid.

I can kind of see it flickering at the front windows, but only just barely. I am going in to try the unoccupied lot next door.

Nope, just a flickering hint. I might go watch the video again to check that I am placing them correctly.
Moving around makes the first house show up a little more.

That flickering looks like overlapping textures but w/ the lot imposter textures that shouldn't be a thing - you can't really place these "wrong" so to speak. Do you have any LOD mods in or anything like that could be changing it? This is how the double hung maxis window renders in my game from neighborhood view:

LOD? Is that lighting? Because yes I use a lighting mod, Spookymuffins with tweaks by Dicreasy.

LOD stands for level of detail. The lot imposter windows are flat (see my pic) but your windows are not - they have a 3d model (that looks really good!). That has to be modded in some way (maybe Lee's improved windows? I never looked at them but if you have those they could be the reason). Try placing these with snapobjectstogrid off and pulling them away from the window so the window overlay isn't touching your windows at all and see if the glow shows up without the flickering. But they may not be compatible with your mod.

Oh I wonder if that's the new lot imposter window mod? It says it's by Klaarti and Leefish.
Okay, I'll try that, thanks.

Jo, I'm always the last to know anything. There very well could be a mod by Lunie too -- I just know Lee did something cool with the windows years ago and recently shared it. And by recent I think I mean months ago.

ETA: I see your edit. If you let me know how you make out I'll update my post w/ the info. Not many have downloaded the lot imposter lights but I'd bet a lot of the same people who'd be interested in my mod would have Lee's & Klaarti's window mod too and would appreciate the info.

I edited my post (You are super fast at that reply as I edited it before the site even caught up to my post. ) after finding it in my download folder. It was Lee and Klaari.

That is done 1/4 in front of the window. I will have to try with some CC windows or decide which mod I want more. Rats, I hate it when this happens. *wants all the mods all the time!*

I tried with your bespoke window and another CC window and still not showing properly. Now they are. I will test tomorrow in my testing folder with just your mod and the window imposter files to make sure it is that mod clashing.

lol Jo, I meant to try them on the inside of the house just pulled away from the window a bit! They probably won't work that way either but they might.

ETA: I'm not in Australia -- I need to get off here but I'll check this thread later or we can stop hijacking it and post on the upload thread. G'night.

hsha Okay! I am going to post on your upload thread once I know something for sure. I added more to my post above.

I'm sure this has been mention before, but Nopke's No Hobby Stalkers, http://www.modthesims.info/d/622669...y-stalkers.html is a must.


There's no drama, like Sims drama.

I have that one. It's one of my how-did-I-ever-live-without-you mods.

The anti-hobby stalkers and anti-"Humble" mods are pretty much required to keep the game playable.

I didn't mind him until his arrival onto my lot borked a move into an apartment. After that I got rid of him.
