About This File

This modd alters the look of both Day (slightly) and Night (in far more drastic fashion) view of the game.

Days gain richer more natural looking shadows, greater overall contrast and better interaction of terrain and various models (in terms of shading).

Nights are now much darker and less blue/purple. Yet unlike in some other similar modds they aren't completely black-hole, pitch black. The city, vegetation and terrain are all still visible in the night, albeit just so.

Installation is very simple just unzip the content of the archive into your Plugins folder and start the game.

Special Note on TruNite buildings.

This modd is tailor made to work with DarkNite TruNite buildings. Normal TruNite ones will look overly bright and blue. So look for special DarkNite releases!

Great job! ;)

The lights of my buildings are going out too early (3 AM),
leaving my cities in the dark. Is there a way to change this?

I wish i could use this with the USL mod, but this one seems to also darken the lights from that mod.
I want the darkness of this mod, but retaining the brilliant road & lightpost lights from the USL mod. How wonderful it would be to have the city at night from this mod but also the bright road lights from USL.. Any ideas?

Great mod, everything looks soooo much better at night now :-D 5/5!

Regarding the problem of the "purple street lights and blue terrain" I found out that it's actually enough to turn off shadows during night time, no need to run the graphics in hardware mode. After doing that, be sure to zoom in and out, and it should look fine. The advantage is that you don't have restart the game when switching the shadows on/off. Furthermore, I cannot play the game in hardware mode, it becomes too jerky then.

great mod... however, can someone help me? I'm new to this game, i tried to install this mod in the plugin folder... I downloaded several buildings that are for Darknite. But they do not light up at all during night time... I already installed the patches from EA but it's still not working... am I missing something? thanks... =)

Excellent mod! The best lightening mod I have ever seen for this game. A pat on the back for you, SimFox. :D

Well, street lights are blue. If I play on hardware mod, my textures flicker badly and cars keep appearing and disappearing within seconds. Any other way to solve this?

Note: It all worked perfectly when I was playing on 1.1.638 and the problem began when I updated the game.

I am planning to download this file, and switch from MaxisNite to DarkNite. What would be the effects on my SC4 cities and buildings that are in MaxisNite?
