I put the wrong street detail texture in the Pavement folder.

Thank you so much!! I was waiting for like days someone to release the terrain paints as I really need them! I extracted the height map myself as I used S3PE to get Aurora Skies in CAW. But thanks again!!

Am I the only one having issues with the CAW terrain and snow? The snow seems transparant on these terrains in my game, meaning that the gravel is visible even on thick snow.

I saw a thread here about that issue not long after Seasons came out. I don't think anyone had any insight to why this happens. I'm sure you're not the only one, and I wonder if people are just not posting about it.

Hey auntielynds, we are indeed posting about it but on the officials http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/650201.page

I actually came here hoping someone had possibly made the geothermal lake fresh water so it would freeze over, and see if that makes a difference. It's just a theory based on what people have been posting in the thread XD

Ahhh............. Now that's interesting. It's certainly some good info to keep mindful of when creating a custom world.

Thanks for the heads up

When i downloaded aurora skies i went into map view and i could see the grass but when i zoomed into an area that wasn't a lot the grass disappeared and became mud, so i'm guessing that the textures are missing and was wondering if you knew here i should put these files so they will turn up in my game? please help i have been trying to figure it out for hours!

Thank you for giving me the heads up on it.

That is a very old thread. We've discovered more now. If you're using the ini and color ramps from the EA worlds, then you want to read this thread, CAW resource packaging routines

If you want to alter your own, read this one, Sea, Sky and Light parameters- let's learn!

It takes a lot of trial and error, but the best way to learn, is to jump right in and try.

Thanks for the infos, auntielynds!
Oh, by the way.. does this custom ini and color ramp affect the color of snow in the game, like maybe turning it to gray in certain lots, just like what happen in aurora skies?

No, that depends on the elevation of the land. Ea intentionally coded the snow to lighten, then disappear as the land descends into the water. The Aurora Sky world builders evidently forgot to take that into consideration when they were sculpting the world, lol.

I see, that's a relieve... I don't want any lots to look gray. Anyway, thank you so much!

Do you know what one of the ini files is responsible for the aurora above the town?

This is an "I Think", but I think the ini files, and color ramps from Aurora Skies all work in conjunction with each other to give the desired effects. You can play around with dividing them up, and see what happens.

Hello, when I put in the Sea.ini.ini in a world, (with S3PE) It's a black water! Would have to be in water color Aurora Skies, no?

There are two sets of ini files. They are the same except how they are named designates which method you use to put them in your world.

The file named "Aurora Skies ini & Color Ramps" are imported to the .world file using s3pe.






The file named "Aurora Skies ini & Color Ramps For Config" are placed in a new file in your world folder named "Config".
