Yowza! The lights have been bugging me for ages. I never even thought about it being fixed. Thank you so much for doing this.

Thanks for these. I'm not really bothered about the existing lamp colours but am grateful that you have furnished me with the knowledge to correct the ones I do find annoying and the broken ones.

Yes! Finally a kind soul edited the lighting.

Thank you as always.

Will you be doing edits of any other EP light?

I know that myself and many others find the Bon Voyage orange Mountain Lights are very annoying, as an example!

Which part exactly do you not understand? If you'd do a "test run" for one of the EPs I have, I could probably help – for all I know the principle is the same in all other EPs as well.

You don't need SimPE, just a text editor.

I have found out how to do it, sorry for all the bother pasticbox!

I have successfully made the BV lights "SoftWhite" instead of "Fire" (the floor lamp and the ceiling lamp!)

This is really good, plasticbox, but I just want to be safe. I've just got a minimal question: do I take the original lighting package out of each respective EP and then install the one you have set up for download, or do I have the two files in the folders? Thanks very much.

Like it says in the OP:

Quote:

Make a backup of the original before you overwrite.

You can't have two of these files at the same time, since they have the same name.

Hate to necro, but; is there another place to get the last 2 downloads? Takes me to a "Bad Gateway" page. Tried to do it myself but windows keeps telling me Access is denied even after I take ownership of the files...

Oh, it seems I deleted my own message. Here we go again, then.

These rock! Before these I was always highly disturbed especially by the BV-tablelamp. "Really?" - Couldn't agree more... I mean come on, what the dilly-o? Green lamp shade, red light - make sense? Not really.
