Outdoor Lighting Tweaks v1.5
dDefinder:
Reduces the blue hue during night hours. Nights will have a more natural appearance unlike the blue radiated moonlight of the default. Includes choices of how bright nights are: Brighter, Balanced, Darker. Shadows will now follow the sun more accurately throughout the day cycle instead of them being stuck at 3pm shadow limit. Some minor tweaks to sun intensity, ambient, and sunset color. Added 3 weather types: heavy fog, stormy, overcast. Stormy and heavy fog will have a reduced appearance chance.

Night
Dawn, Dusk Shadows: (Default vs Modded) old screenshot
brownlustgirl:
I have tried the mod and it's great not having the blue tint on the walls at night. The night is very dark, so dark that my dark skinned sims are almost invisible. All I see from them is eyes and clothes, it's amusing, but sort of annoying. I don't know anything about modding, but is there anyway to lessen the intensity of darkness?
That Eighties Guy:
Sounds sexy, I've always found Sims' nights way too childish. They're so light and happy dandy.
I'll report back of my studies, madam.
chann:
Nice mod (I never realized how BLUE the default night lighting was!). I recommend that you follow Rick's instructions here and package the INI files so they will work with future patches.

That is realistic, actually. You should see what's like with my wife: She is black, dresses in black, and wears sunglasses. At night, it's just like there's this dark shadowy shape you can't see.
