I'm realy wondering right now.
jje1000=Ouerbaker? or did you take the project over?

He was given permission to continue the project

Alrighty then.

Nilxis uses a recolor of an EA distant terrain, same as I did. Unforunately, I had to work backwards, and this meant that the distant terrains went were tilted and going underwater. Normally, I would just paint over the portions with the color of water and be done with it, but unfortunately, the University distant terrain repeated its texture, meaning that it was impossible. Hence the need for a screen to hide all of that junk!



I think this earlier post explains it all


* Which have have fixed now!

Hey there. I would like to know the INI configuration you use for the lighting and sky. The environment resembles The Sims 4 and I like it over the original Sims 3 purple-hue. I am also restarting my previous abandoned project, which hopefully I can complete it anytime in the future. :P

It's a custom one based similar to the one I used for São Paten, which in turn was based off of Sunlit Tide's INI.

Here the INI files if you want them. And please finish up your world! I'm definitely looking forward to more areas of the world being represented!

I'm probably just being Mr. Obvious here as usual, but did you test the "see through" effect of the water? Would that be the luminosity perhaps? Another thing I can come up with is the depth of the water could be deeper at the edge?

An interesting idea- some objects are affected by water depth and become hazier the deeper you place them.

wasn't the luminosity something to do with the ini's? some worlds have more of the "see through" than others.

The thing is, the distant terrain object isn't affected by water depth. Solving this could help fix the issue.

I've posted a thread here:
http://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=553678

I see, the last picture is a bit odd. It's almost like it has two depths, where the second depths just swallows it completely. Interesting to see, but I don't have a clue I'm afraid.

I wonder if it is something that is layered like the sky's colorramps, but in the second one it just shuts completely too early.

One idea might be to clone the rock that has the effect, and replace the mesh and texture with that of the distant terrain.

I haven't made objects before, so this will be a bit tricky. If anyone could help, please let me know!

On a completely different note, I just wanted to add that I absolutely *love* the picture descriptions on the blog. You have great imagination! Keep it up

Thanks! I think they're really useful for bringing a world to life.

Anyone experiencing any issues with the world? Crashing?

Just wanted to say that I'm making my own distant terrain right now and I wouldn't mind taking a look at the Reyes one for you if you need the help. Just clone the rock with the water depth effect you want and post it here along with the distant terrain and I'll see what I can do!

Thanks for the offer!

Here is the file: http://www.mediafire.com/download/v...ant+Terrain.rar

-The extracted rock file contains the rock extracted from Pets.
- The distant terrain object contains the current flat distant terrain object.

If the original distant terrain file doesn't work, would it be possible to create a new flat distant terrain mesh?

Definitely hope this works. Best of luck

Does anyone encounter any problems with the lighthouse beam not appearing from an unloaded Point Ouerbacker lighthouse lot?

Also, please check and see how feasible dive lots are in the world.

Sure, I will do that tonight. By unloaded, do you mean from a distance? As in not on the lot?

Yup, the unloaded, low-def lot. If it's not working, I'll replace the lighthouse.

New houseboat lots just for you
The water may look shallow, but they work perfectly fine.

Any such luck?

@jje1000, I was pretty sure it was either a shader issue or a definitions issue - I looked through all the entries and couldn't find any differences that would affect something like that, so I instead created a clone of the snake rock and created a new mesh using the DT you provided, edited the MODL file so I could delete the unneeded resources, and hopefully it should be working - the only issue is you'll have to plop the DT down again, since I have no idea how to manually edit the GUID like in TS2. My CAW is borked, so I haven't been able to test it properly, but in theory, it should work - the only things from your DT package that are in there are the shape of the mesh (not the same mesh file) and the diffuse map, neither of which should be able to cause these issues. Sorry it took so long, CAW was being a so-and-so and I got distracted with my TS4 project. Just saw you'd done the final version today and thought egad, I'd better stick this up here! It's a beauty, by the way - I've been following this thread for years, so happy to see it finished, and with such a high level of quality! Are you planning on uploading this to MTS using the normal method, or are you going to leave it here in the thread?

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any change. Thanks for the work though!
