C-C-C-Chandelower - Lighting Fix

109 Thanks Thanks 22 Favourited

This fixes the height of the light cast by the M&G two story chandelier. I've used the new object mesh by spiegelsplitter, but I prefer to fix Maxis goofs with as few kb as possible.

Size matters people.

There is also a very real object limit which this fix will not affect as it is not a new catalog entry nor does it contain any OBJDS with GUIDs.

The More You Know...

This alters the light height via the CRES, you may need to repurchase lights if the second story is lit rather than the first.
Custom .nlo resource that alters the light intensity. Editable if you wish to alter the light color/intensity.
Does not conflict with the "fix" by spiegelsplitter as their object is not a fix, but an entirely new object.
This will not conflict with any CEP-Extra's (I have not seen one though).
Can be installed in downloads folder.
This will not package with lots if placed in downloads folder.
This will not fix any cc chandeliers cloned from this.
If you place this fix in a folder that SimPE reads while cloning, any cloned chandelier will have the proper light height and the custom nlo.
For me this means: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSData\Res\Overrides

Editing the .nlo

Right click the .nlo in SimPE, choose Extract
Open the file ADEE8D84-6359ED0C-7FC1A1F1-FF49A060.nlo in Notepad (double click should do it)
Change the numerical values as you wish and save
- (look at the base game file C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Double Deluxe\Base\TSData\Res\Lights\objects\lightObjects.txt to compare to known lights.
In SimPE, select .nlo resource, right click and choose Replace, select the file you edited (ADEE8D84-6359ED0C-7FC1A1F1-FF49A060.nlo)
