These files go in the folder:

C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Seasons\TSData\Res\Lights

I've included the original lighting file for backup.  Make your own backup of that file anyway, just to be safe.

Lighting.txt has been changed so that the light comes from the same direction on the lot as it does as shown in the neighborhood view.  The other files will make the light come from the direction specified in the file name.

To use these files, open the cheat console and type:

"setlotlightingfile FILENAME"  The lighting will change immediately.

I've got my UserStartup.cheat file set up with the following lines:

alias slr "setlotlightingfile rightlighting.txt" "Set light to come from the right" ""
alias sll "setlotlightingfile leftlighting.txt" "Set light to come from the left" ""
alias slb "setlotlightingfile backlighting.txt" "Set light to come from the back" ""
alias sld "setlotlightingfile downtown_lot.txt" "Set light conditions for downtown" ""
alias slc "setlotlightingfile clear" "Set light to come from default direction" ""

With that, you can change the light to come from the left side, for example, by simply typing in the cheat "sll"

Enjoy!
