Sims 2 Celestial Update: I haz stars and a sun!

[lorinsv60]

For over a year I have envied simlili the pretty sky in her game, and after searching on and off for months, I finally found it was my View Distance in game options (not graphics options) that needed to be set to extra large (mine was at medium).

Behold!

Yay \o/
I was exactly the same, seeing the sun in other people's games, and not in mine, I know the feeling.

You shouldn't mention me, though, I had no idea that was the setting we have to change, it's your discovery, and thanks for sharing :) Now that you mention it, I didn't have all those settings on the highest with my previous graphic cards.

Haha, I love your tenacity with this, and it has paid off. Congrats on the pretty stars :D

I give you lots of credit - until I saw the starry skies and sun in your game, I thought they had gone by the wayside along with the moon from a later EP (Seasons? BV?).

My next goal is catching the sun in one of my pictures. Simple pleasures FTW!

That's what I read too, removed in a later EP!
Now we know to NEVER BELIEVE so easily lol

Yay for the stars and the sun! ^^ Glad you got that figured out.

Me too, it's a lovely little touch :)

It's pretty awesome seeing the stars, isn't it? I only just managed to make that work, now that I've got a better graphics card in my new machine. I haven't seen a sun yet -- I'll have to look.

Yep, I love having starry skies in my game!
