@dharden The load function for some reason turns off computers inside the apartments that don't belong to the current family… If I understand that function correctly.

Oh great, I was confused why the study areas in my university dorms with the computers in it were always so bright. Thanks Nopke!

Thank you, Nopke - I am very happy to see this one; mostly because of the computers in my dorms as well

@SIMple The TSS computer has got that glitch originally. Both files affect all computers, the TSS one too.

Is there a way to reduce the amount of glow as well as how big will it be? I don't mind the glow but it just too big.

@SIMple There is a way to do it… but I guess you're not a modder and you may find it difficult to do it. You only need to find light resources (in [expansion or stuff pack]/TSData/Res/(Sims)3D/Objects01.package) and entries (in one of .nlo and .txt files from [expansion or stuff pack]/TSData/Res/Lights/) of a computer you want to change and edit them.

This was something that has annoyed me for some time. Granted, it's not a huge deal, but I found it irritating. Thank you!

They may seem simple, but your fixes are always essential and game-changing. Thanks for this. (Huge fan of your shadow fixes, too)
