Hello!

This is my first post so apologies if it's in the wrong category.

Basically, my problem is with the lighting on The Sims 3. All of my rooms are really dark and there are only so many lights and windows you can install before it starts to look like a home lighting showroom. I have a top-spec PC and all the graphics are on their highest setting so I'm definitely sure that it isn't a hardware problem.

From what I can tell, this is a really common complaint. I was wondering if anybody knows of any patches, mods or objects to alleviate the problem. I've searched all over the internet but I can't find anything.

Any help would be great. Thanks for reading!

Try going into options on sims 3 and make lighting ''high'' otherwise i dont know D: OR make your laptop screen brighter. (But u said its like high already so. D
