How many camera mods have you tested? I think that not all of them.

In my game, Gunmod's camera mod and Enhanced gameplay cameras caused crashes. Now, I have my own camera mod and everything is okay. Maybe I will upload it later.

@ Nopke thanks again for your reply, yes the two camera mod you name in your reply in the past cause my game to crashed. I would love to try your camera mod if you should upload it.

A reminder I do not just have the base game I have "all" EPs way up to Seasons, but nothing after that Ep.

Just came back to say how wonderful the sky looks from lot view (especially at night) with this fix. Thanks again!

THANK YOU! I thought that the problem was on my computer at first. But you've saved me.

Wow this made me realize how I completely forgot there used to be a sun in my pre-seasons game. Thanks!

Finally! I remember pointing out this problem back in the day, and trying to fix it myself to no avail... I am so glad someone did.

The moon, sun and stars. Nice to see them in the Sims sky. Thank you!

By the way, these look fine without the Gunmod mod. :)

That's so cool! I didn't even know there were actual stars in TS2, since I've been playing a complete set for years. Thank you!

I have a question, though: while the sun/stars do appear in lot view now, I can't get the neighborhood skybox to show up. I have neighbors and neighborhood deco turned on, view/fade distances are set to "extra large"; the only graphic setting that isn't maxed is shadows, which I have set to medium. I downloaded the EP6+ version and have all EPs/SPs. What could be the reason behind this?

Thanks so much for this. Another great mod by a great Simmer!
Edit: Had a game crash, am using Gunmod Camera Mod.
Second Edit: Tried again copying the Enhanced Camera Mod over the Gunmod one and everything seems fine for now.

The same one you used in your previews - The Great Sky of Totalitarianism by Lowedus.

EDIT: I just figured out what it was! I was always looking at the lot when zoomed all the way out using a camera hack, so I was outside of lot boundaries. I just loaded a 5x6 lot, and realised I can see the skydome, as long as my camera is within lot bounds. I tend to play with tiny lots, so I never realized.

I have some bad news that occured with me. After using this mod, my... how can I call.... it.... Those three bars about the Sims lifetime wishes and their desires, one of the bars disappeared! I tested removing this SkyFix, and the bar is back.

I saw a shooting star in Strangetown thanks to this mod! I saw it as Pascal Curious was being abducted by aliens. This mod and your sim shadow fix mod have added so much to my Sims' world. So glad that people like you are still working to make TS2 the most enjoyable experience for all of us.
