This is one of the best mods for the sims 2. It makes the lighting graphics look like an entirely new game

How did you get such high quality pictures?

This has probably been mentioned before, but there's no backup for Mansion & Garden stuff. I just uninstalled the lighting mod (my graphics card is failing and it's lagging my game horrendously) and M&G is the only stuff pack I didn't back up the lighting files for. A little help would be appreciated-- I really hope this isn't going to break my game.

Default Radiance broken after clean install?
Nobody is probably reading this anymore, but I've tried everything I can think of, so I've come here for help.

Radiance seems to be broken. My harddrive recently died so I did a complete clean install of The Sims 2 (on the same system). I deleted the newly created folders in Program Files and My Documents and stuck my backups in their place. Now light seems to pass through walls. The pictures explain it better than I can. It's all the same box with a spiral wall inside set-up. The point is that all objects are about the same brightness, like the walls aren't even there. This is not how Radiance used to behave for me, objects behind walls used to be a lot darker, like in real life.

I've tested this with no other CC or hacks in place, same thing happens. It's annoying me to no end, does anyone have any idea what's going on here? It'd be very much appreciated!

@digiad
I have no idea if you've already found a solution, but I've added the original M&G lighting files for you. Don't worry, they're from a clean install.

Ok, I was wondering if Sims 2 Best of Business collection expansion pack, Sims 2 Fun With Pets Collection Expansion pack and Sims 2 University Life Collection Expansion packs are supported, because I installed all of these expansions and installed the lighting for the stuff pack and expansion packs in the folders but things don't seem quite right, I don't think they will be making anymore expansions, so can somebody update this to work with these new packs, my guess is the lighting files and a lot of the files are different in these new expansions than the normal stuff packs even though they use some of the same games. Considering I have most EP's the game looks pretty good but a lot of the lighting that requires the EP'S and SP'S in these Collections don't seem to work right. So could someone please update it!

Er, I tried my best to think on how to install it. But I'm to scared. I read the way to install it on the original one. But, I am a total failure. I don't want to accidentally install it wrong. But I want to use it so bad. It look's beautiful<3 (I know it seems simple, but I am just a failure. xD)

MajinKitty230- click the 'Install Instructions' tab for details of how to install. These files do not go into your download folder.

Maybe it's something in my settings, but all of the lights from the stuff packs and most of them from different EPs hardly let off any light. I really like the way the lights that DO work correctly look, but I can't live with not being able to use most of my lights.

Middlemore-- extract the file you download here onto your desktop. In another window, go into "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES" there you will see a bunch of folders that each have the name of an EP or SP you have. Now go into the file that you downloaded here and go into the folder "The Sims 2." then go into "The Sims 2" from your program files. Double click on all of the folders in the downloaded file until you get to the "Lights" folder. In you program files directory, go through all the folders with the same names of the ones you had to go through to get to the "Lights" folder. Drag the "lights" folder from the downloaded file into the folder that houses the lights folder in your program files.

Do this with each EP and SP you have. (the SPs are in a dif. folder in the downloaded file -- just double click on the ___StuffPacks folder and do the same with these you did with your EPs.)

I really hope that all made sence. Contact me if you need help understanding that mumbo jumbo I wrote.


I am still very confused and I am very sorry to ask a question someone had already asked, but, I dont really get where I can find the program files...? I do have three EPs including Pets, Family Fun, and Mansion and Garden. I cannot find where to put the extracted folders. It would be very kind if anyone could answer! Thank you(:

Oh my gosh, I am speechless..! My game has never looked better. I thought I was just going to use this for movie making, but I'm going to use this for gameplay as well! The performance seem to have increased as well (or maybe that's because of a camera mod :P) So that's just perfect! 1000 thanks!

But just one question, should you have shadows on high as well?

You can get the installer for Scriptorium and in the installation you can choose to install Radiance as well. Scriptorium itself is for custom modular stairs, walls, etc. and is useful to have either way. It's much easier this way.

Just a lurker lurking through... mostly.

Sometimes I'm more interested in Sims than others, so I tend to disappear and reappear at random.
