Default WCIF NO FADE EVER! Mod
As title.
I'm looking for some sort of mod that stop s trees and ceiling lights from fading on zoom. I have the no fade on sims and want something for solid fade objects too.
Sick of typing /fadeobjects off ALL THE DARN TIME!
Help! ? !

its a good question.Even the mods I use don't do this all of the time.

Can't find stuff in build and buy mode? http://www.nexusmods.com/thesims3/mods/1/?

I'm going to admit right out that I have no idea what you guys are talking about. While I might be forgiven for this lack of fader knowledge, that's not actually why I am responding.

If you use NRaas Overwatch, it can be set to run console commands of your choosing automatically upon the game's loadup. If you added fadeobjects off to OW's store of console commands and then set it to be an Auto Command, would this not solve the problem?

Not really, Igazor. With fadeobjects off, some objects still fade. It's really frustrating if you like your scenery. You can make things appear while you're in cameraman mode but it's just not practical to stay there very long!

Guess I misunderstood the issue, sorry about that.

Thanks for the suggestion Igazor. Didn't know that about the list. Like Lucy said it's not practical to keep using /FO as it keeps undoing itself whenever you enter and exit camera mode and you need to open cheat window and type it again. I will try adding it to the OW list though and see if that helps but I think it would be over-ridden once I hit the tab key a couple times?
My problem is i use the fade command then I take screenshot for story-telling, then I move sims around, take another screenie and the fade has gone and ughhhh, it's a pain!!!

Oh, I see. I thought the problem was having to type the command out around once per game session, didn't realize that it was such a lack of persistence. The only other option OW offers would be to run the command through OW each time, in other words NRaas > OW > Console Commands > Run Command, but that requires a City Hall or a computer to be nearby and can't be any easier than repeatedly typing the command out on the cheats console.

Ya, I wonder if it's tunable into a mod somehow of if EVERY item that fades would need to be tuned?
I guess there's no mod for it though, oh well!

You could use a macro to open the console, enter the command, and close the console again with a single button press. Your mouse or keyboard might have a macro function, or you could use a free tool like AutoHotkey (Which is all sorts of awesome for other automation tasks, too.).

I also use the OW command (on top of another mod) to make it persistant, but it always undoes itself. I didnt realise it was related to cameraman mode.
