Is there anything (whether that be hack, program or whatever) that allows you to change the position of the sun in a lot. I'm sick of the sun shining on the back of a house when I'm trying to take screenshots..
Thanks in advance

Maybe this:

No.. all that does is add sunsets/sunrises, it doesn't change the position of the sun..
Thanks anyway though

I like that sunset mod, glad someone pointed it out!

cloudburst, I believe what you want is the LotAdjuster:

I used it to rotate Andi and MaryLou's minlots, so the sun shines on the front of them.

Yeah, I already have that, but as far as I can tell, all you can do is move the road, which doesn't really help since i've already built the house lol.
Also, just found this on the Lot Size/Oientation/Rotation thread:


So it sounds like it's probably not possible right now. I'll just deal with it on this house that I've just made, and then make sure the sun is right on any future ones before I start building.
Thanks for the minilots by the way, I use them all the time. :D

If you already had a lot you wanted to keep for some reason, you'd build the house facing the sun, regardless of where the road is, then rotate it.

You'd have to rebuild your current house to achive that, in which case, you might as well start with a lot that faces the right way.

A tip I use is to place an empty lot, then if I'm not sure where the sun will be, I build a box of walls and check. If it isn't where I want it, I place a new lot in the proper orientation instead.

I have a lot that I can see from the neighborhood view. It's just a box house, with a sun painted on the ground outside. So whenever I want to build a new lot, I'll know which way the sun is shining.

I do wish there was such a thing as a "sun adjuster", as a few houses I have downloaded, I wish they were facing the sunny side.

To cloudburst666, sorry for hijacking your thread but when I saw this I had to ask.

SalixTree, did you make these floors yourself or did you download them? If you downloaded them, where can I find these for myself?

You can use terrain paint.
xo

here's a pic, so you can see what I mean. I used a Maxis yellow rug for the sun, I think.

As long as such a marked lot is never moved within the hood, it's reliable. Once you move it to a different part of the map, it probably isn't.

The other trick, visible from Salixtree's picture, is that the sunny side of a lot, visible in hood view, becomes the opposite when you enter it. So, the lot above has sun at the back left in the picure, but in play, the lot would be lit from the front right.

Oh okay, awesome, thanks for showing me.

SalixTree, thanks for the idea, I will definately use it
Thanks aelflaed as well
