Anyone know of a good star field replacement mod?

Shojoangel's smaller stars no longer works for me for some reason.
And neither does brntwaffle's skyrim field.Are there any others? Those are the two that keep popping up.

They used to work, but suddenly stopped and even reinstalling the games and removing other mods, still didn't help.:(

    Hi @GraceyManor

    I have a couple other star mods saved and backed up but not used as yet because Shojoangels are still working for me thankfully. I think these 2 star mods are probably the closest to the size of shojoangels and Brntwaffles so I hope you can make one work for you and there not be too much of a difference. The only other types of star mods I have are the big spiky stars for fantasy worlds.

    Aminovas has a default starfield that I think looks quite similar

    mahamudosim3 also has a star mod that is described as the stars looks smaller and more delicate.

    Wasset also has a mod that covers lighting, stars, moon, snow and even rain drops however the links for that have gone but I found one with a working link where you can downloaded separated packages so you could just use the star mod alone if you wanted to..

    Is missing the files they the mod is overriding

    OMG let me try Wasset's star mod which is the last one to see if it works in my game because if it's okay in mine you appear to have some issues relating to just those game files and if so i am wondering if you started a new folder in documents if there are specific new files you could add to your current game if so?

    Have you tried the top 2 other star mods and if so what was the outcome?


    Edit; As soon as I put the Wasset mod in my game I experiences glitches immediately so i would sick to trying the other 2 out.

    Now I am going to try the full wasset's enchanted sky mod which includes the stars, snow and moon to see if I get any glitches. I have taken all my usual ones out. Have you seen the milky way stars mod by Nilxis? Its a little more intense but looks great in game too..

    Edit: Nope same glitch and going to put my usual sky mods back in and make sure the glitch is not something else..


    Edit again. The glitch in my game was gone immediately when i removed Wasset's mods so in my game at least i know it was that.

    When you say "not working" - do you mean causing errors in game or just not showing? Because I am using brntwaffles skyrim field too, but lately I have wondered if I am seeing EA stars again because I kept thinking the stars look sort of lame and too big. Like the default. But I hadnt played in months so I was unsure. There's no reason they shouldn't work all of a sudden, as I have not done anything. But you never know what Origin sneaks in I guess.

    Sometimes Origin just unchecks all my expansions and stuff, lol.

    When I say not working I mean just not showing I am seeing the default big stars they are looking big and bulky.My lighting mod from brntwaffles works but it seems star replacements don’t ShojoAngel’s mod oat what file it replaces but I don’t see it in either my sims 3 folder or the origin games—-the sims 3— game bin folder wondering if that is why

    @GraceyManor

    Thank all the gods of the star mods lol I am so pleased you found something you could use. I got a little concerned yesterday when I was getting glitches as I was testing the other mods then after that i was also a little scared when putting Shojoangel's mod back in my game as I thought by removing it I might have nudged something and it not work again lol but thankfully it was okay which makes it even more of mystery as to why it won't work properly in your game anymore :) So many sims 3 glitches popping up all over the place these days..
