Hello, it's been a while.
I've always loved snow in Sims 2 (and irl!), but one thing I didn't like was the snow in neighbourhood view. It always looked so splotchy and not at all how I expect. I want the white fluffy blanket coating the world with a cosy, snowy atmosphere. I could never find a replacement for the snow and set to make my own.
The replacement uses the game's in-lot textures, the size being 256x256 and replaces all neighbourhood snow textures.
There's two options for this, you can download the all-in-one file which has all the textures in one package, or you can pick and choose which terrain types are replaced. Make sure to delete the ones you don't use if you do that!
To remove just delete the package and it'll return to maxis-snow.
Enjoy!
P.S. Anyone who is interested in the terrain I used in one of the previews, I've uploaded it Here!

About Me
Been a fan of Sims for over a decade, since my teen years. I play all games but Sims 2 is my fav <3 I make a variety of things but it has mostly been terrains for the Sims 2. I also write stories, one of which is coming soon on here!
Feel free to DM me here if any of my CC has issues, including anything that may be exclusively on my tumblr. I'll be happy to help :D
As for my policy: Do whatever you want with my stuff as long as it's not on paid sites (unless free), I love seeing what people do!
