No trees, full snow cover and no beach in arctic climate and frozenrocks with arctic winter climate, average tree and snow limits withmiddle european climate and full flora, green grass and no snow atevery height with tropical climate.

 

And that's not all. The sun shines with different angles. Shadows willbe very short with tropical mod and longer with the arctic and middleeuropean mods,

Wonderful, 10/10, a suggestion though, you could make the readme a little simpler, lol. Also does making a shadow 90 degrees disable the shadow all together?(which is not a good thing) or im i just getting it wrong?

meng881124: The problem with the readme is, that my english isn't that good ;-). But if you have questions i will answer them. The sun shine modding does no disable the shadows. It changes only the angle of sun shine direction. This causes that shadows are very short. Like in real tropical regions.

the most important in the readme ist, that you should download the snow capped mod to get the full effect of my mods. You find it here: https://www.simtropolis.com/modding/index.cfm?mode=details&show=320 or here http://www.ingame.de/objectbase/index.php/?action=download&fid=92&cid=12

The snow is from teirusu's snow capped mod you need for this effect. My own work was changing the sun shine directions, the image import mod, climate changes and the frozen rock texture.

DUde this is sweet! The only thing that would make the whole thing even cooler would be if you could make a Southern Norway climate. What I do want to know is How you set up the middleeuropean climate: "MiddleuropeanClimateModwithImageImportMod60.dat" + Wich of the ARTICSNOWCAPPED mods do you add?
