Cliffs in Lot view?

rosess: I checked GoS and the sky mod you talkted about. Unfortunately there were no pictures. Otherwise, thanks for the tips. *goes on a downloading spree*
Drat, they were still there when I linked, unless I was seeing cached images. As one would expect from GOS, the selections are darker and more dramatic than the original, though there are a couple of blue skies, too.

Actually, I think I tracked it down to Nightlife.I looked at old uploads to MTS2, and found these pics.
This picture clearly has clouds, and was of the game with UNI:
While this was with NL:
As you can see, the clouds didn't appear anymore with NL, and might link back to that wall.
Quinctia:
It has to be post-NL.
I first started playing on a laptop that barely had a video card. So I was running just Uni/NL for awhile. When I got my new laptop, I played a very short while under that configuration, and then I installed Seasons.
I have a few shots then running under Uni/NL. It was actually these shots that made me realize I used to see stars under a shorter draw distance than I do now with Seasons. And it's not my video card gimping out with Seasons. My current video card exceeds all the requirements for all the EPs, I have smooth edges and the ability to see fish, etc.
These shots aren't awesome, as I wasn't trying to get the sky, but they're decent evidence.
Night sky with stars and clouds, moar night clouds 1, moar night clouds 2, and daytime clouds where the distance is definitely set to medium.
Contrast with:
Daytime shot under Seasons with medium draw distance that would have definitely had had clouds before, Daytime, XL distance, empty sky, Ditto, and night sky with XL distance--I can't prove it, but I think the stars are appearing in a higher, smaller radius in the skybox.
I think that if I hadn't had installed ceilings and ended up making my interior shots much better, I would've noticed this earlier.

I've noticed this as well
kazebird:
The big question now, is how do you fix it? Knowing EA, something was probably changed for no reason. I know if you look up during any season/weather the sky above matches the sky below, so what is the point of this shrunken sky view? Did they think peoples comps would lag too much if they could see the sky?
