For those who want a maxis match lighting overhaul, Milk Thistle is an exceptional choice. It completely reworks the outdoor lighting system, giving worlds richer skies, smoother color transitions, and softer shadows throughout the day. Sunrises and sunsets become naturally warmer, nights look deeper and more atmospheric, and midday no longer looks washed out. I like using this lighting mod in worlds like Brindleton Bay and Sulani.

Follow these steps to install Milk Thistle Lighting Mod on your Sims 4 game:
Download the mod file from the link above. Sims 4 mods typically come as .package or .ts4script files.
Open your Sims 4 Mods folder. The default location is: Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods
Place the downloaded file directly into the Mods folder. You can organize mods into subfolders up to one level deep.
Launch The Sims 4 and go to Game Options > Other. Make sure "Enable Custom Content and Mods" is checked.
Restart the game if it was already running. The mod should now appear in your game.
Important: Always back up your save files before installing new mods. After Sims 4 updates, mods may need to be re-downloaded or updated by the creator.
Platform
The Sims 4 (PC/Mac)
Pro tip: If a mod stops working after a game update, check the creator's page for an updated version. Broken mods can cause the game to behave unexpectedly.
