Well I caught this one of Elvira yesterday. She looks like she's staring right at me plotting my untimely death.. or something like that. No poses, that's just what she looks like waking up from a nap
This picture is amazing.
@TreyNutz that picture of Utopian Oasis Landing is beautiful! I completely forgot about that. Reminds me there's still so much in this game I haven't even touched yet.
@CravenLestat haha, thank you! The 'powder blue' is actually already in her early forties by the way, and was the mother of the blonde groom and her name is Scarlett.
'Black' is...A sim. I won't say anytying else because it would mean spoilers for @JoAnne65
I already used lightning mods too by the way, but try to keep away from it. It should be another one in every world which would mean I always have to change it with two saves and sims that often travel and knowing me I would forget that. I can fix that easily with S3PE, but nahh. EA's lightning is beautiful already. The only moment I really used it for a while was for story purpose and actually had to be everywhere my sim was.
Oh, speaking of that (off topic, sorry, but you remind me), I've heard there's a mod that makes sim days last longer? Or rather, it gets dark later? In Sims 3 it gets dark at six and I don't quite understand why. I'd love it if it would get dark around... nine or so? Is there a mod available for that or would that mean having to change the code?
Thanks, everyone for the comments on the OL picture. I've had that in a pictures folder for a while, lol.
@JoAnne65 , I tried a few of BrntWaffles' lighting mods and several had longer days. Sunset was around 9 pm. It affected vampires, that is vampires burnt up outside during those extra hours. Anyways, as stated earlier, it was easy to try them out. They are just package based CC.
Thanks I googled 'brntwaffles' but there are so many that I can't see the wood for the trees... How do you guys decide and know which one to choose...?
Edit: @GaiaHypothesis I wouldn't mind some change (especially if it means for the better ). I do value a world's atmosphere to be maintained though. Like, I want my MH to be dark or green or red, not having IP skies I'm not very familiar with how those mods work though.

I think most of them work on the world without special lighting. If you want to add the lighting to world with special lighting you have to follow a tutorial and so which I can't be bothered to do since I'll probably mess up something lol.
I believe special lighting worlds would me MH, sunlight tides, monte vista and Aurora skies.
I've never ventured into putting light mods into any of my worlds yet. I have downloaded a few but I like the light I see in my worlds as it is. Having said that I always liked my vanilla sims and never wanted to put skins on them - until I tried it and got totally addicted to skins and hair. Both of which are things I always assured myself I'd never want to touch.
Anyway - here's a few more pictures I found. I have posted them before somewhere but someone may enjoy seeing them here who hasn't seen them before. They aren't old pictures, I probably got them a little before Christmas when I was playing in Dragon Valley.
I better put them in a spoiler - I got a bit carried away - sorry

This is my witches village - I'll be making a YouTube video about this place soon.
They needed a glow fly for an elixir so I put a spawner on their lot that would let them find a glow fly.
I had previously sent them to France but there weren't any to be found in France. I usually catch them in the tomb near the little fishing hole - but there were no insects of any kind in it.
After that failed trip to France I added the spawner and it didn't take long for them to spawn a glow fly for their elixir. The elixir they wanted to make is from a mod and the glow fly is an ingredient to make the elixir to turn a horse into a unicorn.

Yeah, that's pretty much me If there wouldn't be a lighting effect but sunset at nine that would be perfect for me.

Sunset at 9 pm is something I've never experienced. At the moment the days at my place are as long as they are going to get since it is the middle of Summer and it's dark just before 7 pm. In a few months it will be Winter and dark at around 5 pm. I'm not sure when sunset and sunrise actually happen.

In my country In summertime it's even still light outside at ten.
@JoAnne65 Yeah I'm not sure how it will affect other places. The ones I've always tried have ended up applying to most worlds, but then I generally only play bright worlds. I found MH too dark (at that time). I did use the Alien skies one for a long time and meant to only use it for LL but it ended up going to Aurora Skies too sometimes (because I didn't switch it out).
I just picked whichever and tried them out. No rhyme of reason. Mostly I started because I wanted my Alien world to have bigger brighter skies, and I tried one out in MH because it was too dark.. BUT it ended up sticking for my other worlds.

Yes, that's the good thing about CC you can just throw in there and simply remove it when you don't like it. I'm going to do some research, 'armed' with burned waffles

I downloaded 3 or 4 which seemed interesting. I loaded up a game with standard lighting and picked a spot in the world with a nice view of the sky in the middle of the day, saved, and took a picture. Then I quit, installed one of the lighting mods, loaded up the game, checked out the difference with the lighting mod, took a picture of the same view, exited without saving. Removed the lighting mod, installed the next one, repeated. Then I compared the pictures. For the CC world I was using I stayed with the default lighting (I think the creator had customized lighting for the world). But it was really interesting to see the differences in the various choices. Basically I chose by trial and error.

I finally got Roaring Heights and I decided to have my sims move there, but unfortunately, this didn't really matched with my plan on the next generation being all about pets so I ended up in Aurora Skies, but I forgot to take many pictures.

Never got those store worlds, always thought they were a waste of money. These pics make me think otherwise!! Oh well I'm happy with my custom worlds
Yay! I've been wanting a place to post pics. The play thread is nice but huge.
...
I know. I'm over 700 posts behind. Very daunting.
I'm really enjoying this thread (I'm a visual person, often don't read the verbiage. Sorry ).
Some fantastic pictures here.
I've been playing in rflong7's Isolation Island and gotten some pictures of the wonderful scenery but haven't uploaded them to photobucket yet (I'm finding it harder and harder to use that site.)
Here are a few older pics from my game in Starlight Shores.
my genie, Ravan
At first I wasn't sure what the gnomes were carrying on about, gesturing to the sky.
It wasn't until I was going through my pics that I noticed the plane up in the sky.
everyone's pics, sure are fun to look at such dull, boring pics Here are a few of my horseback ride to one of the equestrian way stations I made in Dragon Valley ( one of my favorite worlds )

The police couldn't go in the house because the door was locked? And so my sim continued to faint another 10 times.
He really loves his rat and at some point sneaked him into his back pocket.

Just an example, it was super hard to get the RIGHT time of day so excuse that. But here is when my lighting mod wasn't working.
And WITH lighting mod.
I think the main thing is that the "blue" tint is taken away which seems to me to make the image seem brighter.
