About This Mod
The Sunblind Lighting Overhaul by Softerhaze replaces default blue sun rays with warmer, more realistic exterior lighting. With this installed, expect vivid, color-shifting sunsets and sunrises, more realistic daytime lighting, and late at night, you’ll get ultra-dark, desaturated lighting and shadows. It’s one of the best Sims 4 lighting mods out there, especially when it comes to removing EA’s harsh blue light. So don’t hesitate to add this to your mods file.
