Maxis Night VS Dark Night

[SIMplemente 41]

My fellows!

Seeing that lately all new uploaded buildings on the SimCity 4 EXCHANGE section are only DARK NIGHT version I've been wondering...

What do I have to do if I'm using MAXIS NIGHT version for all my stuff in SimCity 4? Delete all and start all over  from scratch using DARK NIGHT version?

Are we killing the game if now all new things are only available in DARK NIGHT version? 

And more importantly, in Sim City4 universe is one or the other but using both versions at the same time won't work. So what to do?

The different versions of models only refer to how the textures were rendered. As such all of them will work, regardless of whether or not you have the matching nite mod. However, Dark Nite models look their best when you use SimFox's day n nite mod.

No, I don't think so. As stated these models will still work regardless. Sure I personally feel it best to release a Maxis Nite option when making models. Because it's not a great idea to stop supporting the default game when making content. That said, it's easy to do when the render process takes a short time. Some of the big skyscrapper models can be seriously long to render, possibly stretching to days in some cases. I can understand why some creators who themselves use DarkNite might not feel like rendering a model twice in those circumstances.

Long and short, if a model you like is DarkNite only, you need to decide if you can live with that or not.
