C-C-C-Chandelower - Lighting Fix
mg-chandelier.jpg - width=1024 height=900
mg-chandelier2.jpg - width=1024 height=800
Size matters people.
There is also a very real object limit which this fix will not affect as it is not a new catalog entry nor does it contain any OBJDS with GUIDs.


- This alters the light height via the CRES, you may need to repurchase lights if the second story is lit rather than the first.
- Custom .nlo resource that alters the light intensity. Editable if you wish to alter the light color/intensity.
- Does not conflict with the "fix" by spiegelsplitter as their object is not a fix, but an entirely new object.
- This will not conflict with any CEP-Extra's (I have not seen one though).
- Can be installed in downloads folder.
- This will not package with lots if placed in downloads folder.
- This will not fix any cc chandeliers cloned from this.
- If you place this fix in a folder that SimPE reads while cloning, any cloned chandelier will have the proper light height and the custom nlo.
For me this means: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSData\Res\Overrides

- Right click the .nlo in SimPE, choose Extract
- Open the file ADEE8D84-6359ED0C-7FC1A1F1-FF49A060.nlo in Notepad (double click should do it)
- Change the numerical values as you wish and save
- (look at the base game file C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Double Deluxe\Base\TSData\Res\Lights\objects\lightObjects.txt to compare to known lights.
- In SimPE, select .nlo resource, right click and choose Replace, select the file you edited (ADEE8D84-6359ED0C-7FC1A1F1-FF49A060.nlo)

About Me

-the package with pfiles appended to the name will go into your cep extras folder where your game is installed (typically c drive, you do you)
-the other goes in CEP extra folder in documents.
The following locations are what I am aware of, beyond that you'll have to do some searching.
Downloads Folder:
C:\Users\<user>\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Legacy
C:\Users\<user>\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection
With multiple launchers, the location for your game install will vary.
C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Legacy\TSData\Res\Catalog\zCEP-EXTRA
