When downloading the Cliff Texture Replacements, choose only one - Grey, Old, or Black. I downloaded all of them in this video, but you can only use one. Sorry about that! You will still need the beach, snow, and terrain replacements in addition to the single cliff texture.
I am so grateful for this tutorial!!!! ?? Can we keep all the cliff textures in the folder? but your saying only use one in the each hood? or are you saying we can only choose one regardless.
@@lenvsp From the mod description: " The cliff replacement comes in 3 versions: the old texture that was in the base game, the grey one that came in one of the EPs, and the black one used in Castaway Stories." So if you own any expansions and don't want the Castaway Stories version you should probably stick with the grey one.
Hi Cindy. This is the link I used to get my sims game: th-cam.com/video/4f1plKchY9o/w-d-xo.html I can't seem to get any of these features in your video to show up on my game.
I keep saying to myself "these files are too heavy, your game is going to crash and you'll probably fry your laptop" but I'm still going along with this tutorial, wish me luck ahah
You'll be fine!! These files are very small and they don't impact performance much at all! Once you get them in your game, you won't be able to go back. I promise! 😃💙💜
I was the one who asked for help with with this and I am so grateful for this! I was able to follow your tutorial precisely and now my neighborhood looks beautiful!! Thank you!
This is the best tutorial for skylines/sky. I couldn't get it right following other tutorials and I am not a technophobe. Simply explaining where to put the arrows helped me a lot. Thanks you.
I can't wait to try this tutorial later! I'm like fully obsessed with the sims 2 right now and i have been trying to improve my gameplay, the videos on your channel and the mods you recommended on your website helped me a lot. Thank you so much! it's so hard to find youtubers who play the sims 2 and are knowledgeable about the game
I know this is a couple of years old but I want to thank you for your very clear and detailed explanations, particularly for the use and placement of the sky objects. I've created terrains and written long series with a lot of overwhelming neighborhood deco and have struggled a lot with the skies. The skylines themselves are kind of limiting (sometimes there just isn't one that works) but your explanations for placement and combination of sky objects is wonderful. I used to write technical manuals and really REALLY appreciate someone who understands the importance of including all the steps, not just 'go outside and back up the car' when I have no idea how to turn on the car, or, in some cases, what a car even looks like. Again, thank you!! I am really enjoying your videos too. They're funny and relaxing!
YOU'RE A SWEETHEART, I'm from Argentina and I pretty much understand English but with you explaining everything it was so easy for me to install this and don't fuck it up! I love you, thanks you so much I love all your reviews, I love your blog and your let's play videos, you're a blessing!
I finally went for it and followed this tutorial and I am so pleased with how it all came out. My Pleasantview is on its fifth generation and the town desperately needed a makeover. I was getting tired of playing my old way, so when I found your channel I was inspired to try Maxis-match CC and mods. It’s totally changed my gameplay forever! I’ve also adopted your “rounds” method and it’s made everything so much easier to track. You’re my favorite Simmer on YT, Cindy!! ❤️
Thank you so much for this! I’ve just spent the afternoon installing TS2 and getting it all set up. I knew of some of these mods, but not all of them, so this list was super handy. ☺️
Another cool thing about the lot view sky box is that the clouds move! They really help to make the neighborhood feel more alive and strengthens the immersion. Another great video as always! 😊
Thank you so much. Your channel really and truly is a blessing. I played sims for years as a kid, and coming back to it now all these years later and seeing people like you still making tutorials and let's plays is amazing :) thank you!!
Cindy, honestly, you are truly the best. I recently returned to sims 2 last year but just actually started playing this year. There are so many great mods and content that have been released since I stopped playing almost 10 years ago. Thank you for your detailed videos and patience and helping us sims 2 lovers out. Sims 2 will always be my favorite game. ❤️❤️
Man...it's crazy how long ago this was posted, but I finally decided to replace everything with this tutorial. As expected, amazing as usual Cindy and I'm happy with the result. ^-^
Pleasant sims this is outstanding! I built a custom neighbourhood years and years ago. During lock-down in the U.K I've been playing Sims 2 more often and it makes the game just look stunning! Completed my overall feel of the game. Honestly thank you! Your tutorial was so easy to follow. Now all I have to do is master those new camera controls!
Thank you so much, I followed your tutorial step by step with no issues. One link that has changed is the Trees have been reworked, and he offers a new link for that. Another thing that helped immensely was to right-click my sims 2 game shortcut, select properties, and put a space and then -w in the end of the target field. This put my game in windowed mode which made following and downloading and installing soooooo much easier. Thanks again!
It really does feel that way! It's like completely updated graphics. After I did this and replaced a lot of the old outdated clothing, it made the game feel new again. :)
Hello ! Thanks a lot for this video ! It was really useful ! I only have 2 problems I think. In the Hood vision I see the Skylines but not when I’m on a lot. And in don’t see the object to modify the sky on a lot. That’s all :)
This tutorial was INCREDIBLE! Thank you so much ! Everything works beautifully, except one thing... In my neighbourhood view the skyline is there, but when I enter a lot it dissapears and the blue default skyline is still there. I would be forever grateful if someone can give me a tip on what to do!
I never really noticed this before but now i found ur video i need this in my game cus i know it will bug me alot when i start up my game :P thank you!
Hey, I started playing the Sims 4 two years ago and watched several video's of you ripping into Sims 4. I installed and played with the Sims 3 ( 'installed' a few mods) and I'm downloading the Sims 2 now. Gameplay is definitely better, though I'll still play alle 3 probably.
Thank you for this tutorial! I've been a sub for awhile but haven't had a computer up until last week! So I'm installing a bunch of mods again, and this one worked well and looks absolutely beautiful!
Great video as always! :D You are like one of my favourite Let’s player at the moment. I am so excited whenever you upload a new video. If you are going to make a Strangetown series too I would totally watch it. Just don’t overload yourself with too much work :)
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like my videos! I really want to do Strangetown and I'm gonna try to do it without overload. I will probably just alternate Pleasantview and Strangetown to keep things moving in both series. :)
Hi! Great tutorial, only one problem I downloaded both skylines (Land background and the clouds) and they can be seen in neighbourhood mode perfectly and they look great but when in Live Mode only the custom cloud skyline shows up and not the land background skylines. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Thanks for this, it will come handy for sure. I plan on getting back into The Sims 2 soon enough and want to make it more prettier. This is the only PC game I want to play. The difference being I plan on using a older PC with WinXP or maybe Win7 with compatibility on because I don't use Win10 and don't trust it nor want to spend time trying to make work a 15 year old game on a modern day PC, the platform that 99% of the time have compatibility issues with older things. Even a gamepad I bought last year doesn't work on Win10, prblems with programs etc so I said screw it too many hassle and time wasted just to play a simple game. Back to Win7, the end.
Sorry that wasn't clear! You can choose whichever one you want for the cliffs. I just realized I download all of them in the video, but if you do that, they won't work. You have to choose a single one since they are default replacements. I have the grey ones in my game.
I installed The Sims 3 for the first time the other day and gave it a shot. A few days later i uninstalled TS3 and downgraded back to TS2. Because it didn't replace TS2 for me and i don't have that much hard drive space anyways
Thanks so much for sharing and doing these videos and lists, downloading these as we speak hope they'll all work beautifully really looking forward to the Sims 2 looking the best it can be ✌️🥰
I keep on coming back for this video like a hundred times. I keep on contemplating if I should also do this to my game considering that my laptop is for documents only. But still, I cant resist anymore and I sucessfully installed it (yay) although The water did not change. Its still the crappy blue water. May I know what did you use to have that kind of water? I would really appreciate it if you can notice this. Thank you and more power to your videos 🥰
Is there a reason why I have jagged edges on my water? Like the shorelines aren’t smooth and sandy like yours, they’re pixel-y and jagged 😅 thanks for any help!
@Liammarcuss ! yup! I downloaded the 1.1 version of graphic rules maker (www.simsnetwork.com/tools/graphics-rules-maker) and followed the instructions from there and it worked!
I'm now towards the end of your video (follow the leader lol) and it truly makes the game so much more beautiful. My gosh haha. Thanks again so much. ♡
Hello! I'm not sure if you'll reply because this video is quite old, but this is a reall cool video! I'll try it once ive finished the video. I'll keep you updated haha
Thanks for the video! One problem.. I downloaded the fx-cube default replacement and unfortunately it doesn't show the red arrow on the cube so I have no idea where to place it :(
Thanks for the amazing tutorial! I just have one problem with the neighborhood camera mod. I can zoom out far in TAB mode, but I can't zoom out or go pass the boundaries while not in TAB mode. I've tried other mods, even changed the camera folder to read and write the files in Properties but I haven't found a solution to fix this.
Hey Cindy, thanks a lot for the in depth tutorial. Everything works fine in my game and I love the new look of my neighborhood. I just have one general problem that has already been one before I installed any mods or cc: When I go to the general settings in game, I can't change the options "Neighbors" and "Decorations" from off to on and I can't change the "view distance" at all (It keeps staying at small. None of these options are greyed out, but when I click on a different option it refuses to change) I've already googled about this weird thing but haven't found anything useful..
@@xxlennykxx2455 It sounds like it isn't recognizing your graphics card.You may have to manually add it. When you use the graphics rules maker, does it show that it recognizes your card?
@@PleasantSims At first, thanks a lot for your help Cindy :) ! Well, the graphics rules maker did recognize my graphic card but the problem is still there. Also I never had any problems like this typical pink flashing problem in my game. It's just that I can't change those options that I mentioned :/
Thank you so much for the helpful content. I have a question if you please, i downloaded every thing but I still don't have the same reflection of water like in the Video, do have any idea why this happend ?
Holy crap! That's a lot of downloading lol. Im not a modder or super smart computer person so it may just look crazy to me 😲 also, do you have videos/tutorials on downloading modder made stuff packs/ furnitures?
Thanks for the info. I've been play sims 2 for years and didn't know I could do all of this! I only have one problem, the water is still the same texture as before while everything else is perfect. Any suggestions on what to do.
I have radiance and seasons so I downloaded according to that and I followed you every step of the way, but to my surprise my game keeps crashing while it is loading up the neighborhood. I don't understand what could be possibly wrong except I didn't back up my 'cameras' folder. Please help! Also, how did you get the sims 2 to run on your windows 10 computer because I have this problem when I click on the icon to play it says that there is no directx 9.0 compatible adapter found? I have to put my game into windowed mode to even play at all.
Hi Isis! I'm sorry you're having this problem! The mods that I've linked to have never caused my game to crash. If you're having crashing issues in Windows 10, you need the 4GB patch, and you'll need to use the Graphics Rules maker, and then you may need an additional fix for the Direct x issue. Here is everything I know about fixing it: pleasantsims.com/sims-2-windows-10/
@@PleasantSims The downloads weren't the problem, I had to figure that out myself. I used the 4gb patch and the graphics rules maker and it worked, but I did these things before you replied. I did a lot of research last night because it was bugging me so much and it's finally fixed. Thank you anyway! ☺
Following this comment, so I know when the links are live again! Fingers crossed we can get these Skyboxes or @Pleasant Sims uploads them somewhere :)

@@ShivvyCroft When are they live again?I need those things so bad.I dont play Sims 4 because i kinda dont like it,sims 2 is very retro for me but i want to upgrade it with cc.PLEASE IF YOU FIND THEM TELL MEE!!!
Which one would you like to see? I am considering Strangetown in the future, but it's hard to find time for another series. If enough people want to see it, I will play another one. :)
I've seen a lot of out of bounds videos for video games that this map looks exactly like that. Background looking like it ain't solid and yeah the Map being a Box or something. Good thing in-game it's ok.
I'm following along this great tutorial and I'm at the place where you choose your terrain replacements. At the time you recorded this you weren't using the lighting system and chose the files accordingly, I wonder if you did make the change when you added the lighting recently or not because it looks great in your game and I see no point taking the radiance files if it's not helpful compared to the seasons one. You never know if I ever need to remove the lighting system one day it would be helpful not needing to re-download and install those files. Ok so it's a bit later and I have an issue, the beach, cliff and snow replacements are not available anymore it seems, I get to the main page on the blog but the links seem broken or at least are broken for me, is it on my end or are they really lost ? Thanks for your very very helpful tutorial ! :D
EDIT !! For the beach, snow and cliff not blurred textures I found out that the blogger has a page on mod the sims and I found all the files there, so in case someone else was having the issue too here is the link www.modthesims.info/d/588607/no-more-blurriness.html
Hi Jeza! I did not ever update the files for the radiance lighting. But I use Spookymuffin's lighting so it doesn't seem to make any difference. And I just checked those links. They're not working for me either! I sent the creator a message to see if she can get the links working again. There are also other texture replacements out there that can be used, but these were the best ones I found. That being said, I just noticed that you became a patron! Welcome and I'm so glad to have you! As a patron, you have access to my CC folder, so I will gladly upload these files for you in Discord as soon as you join us there. :)
Awesome! That's great news! Obviously I didn't see this part of your post before I replied the first time. :) I will have to update my blog with the new links too.
@@PleasantSims Thank you for the answer I'll try the non radiance files and see, I downloaded both just in case the site goes dead. Also I just added a reply to my own post, I found the missing files from the blog on mod the sims, The author has a page there with all the content from the blog , but thanks for the offer , I saw that when I became a patreon and I thought it was a wonderful idea !
When downloading the Cliff Texture Replacements, choose only one - Grey, Old, or Black. I downloaded all of them in this video, but you can only use one. Sorry about that! You will still need the beach, snow, and terrain replacements in addition to the single cliff texture.

Hey Cindy, my skyline doesn't appear when I'm inside the lot. I put the 'skyline' and the 'sky' exactly on the corner you sayed. How can I fix it?
Did you download the skyfix by Nopke?
Same here, i'm going to try to download the skyfix to see if that helps!
you're the greatest! thanks! :)
Unfortunately, the sun and moon links on the tumble don't work anymore. Anyone know where to find the SFS link for those?
Omg thanks soo much for this
Thanks for the amazing tutorial! I just have one problem with the neighborhood camera mod. I can zoom out far in TAB mode, but I can't zoom out or go pass the boundaries while not in TAB mode. I've tried other mods, even changed the camera folder to read and write the files in Properties but I haven't found a solution to fix this.
Thank you so much ♥
Hey Cindy, thanks a lot for the in depth tutorial. Everything works fine in my game and I love the new look of my neighborhood.
I just have one general problem that has already been one before I installed any mods or cc: When I go to the general settings in game, I can't change the options "Neighbors" and "Decorations" from off to on and I can't change the "view distance" at all (It keeps staying at small. None of these options are greyed out, but when I click on a different option it refuses to change) I've already googled about this weird thing but haven't found anything useful..
Have you tried using the graphics rules maker?
@@PleasantSims Yes, but it didn't make any difference :/
@@xxlennykxx2455 It sounds like it isn't recognizing your graphics card.You may have to manually add it. When you use the graphics rules maker, does it show that it recognizes your card?
@@PleasantSims At first, thanks a lot for your help Cindy :) ! Well, the graphics rules maker did recognize my graphic card but the problem is still there. Also I never had any problems like this typical pink flashing problem in my game. It's just that I can't change those options that I mentioned :/
26:38 Mine disappears when I move this close. Have I done something wrong?
Thank you so much for the helpful content. I have a question if you please, i downloaded every thing but I still don't have the same reflection of water like in the Video, do have any idea why this happend ?
Holy crap! That's a lot of downloading lol. Im not a modder or super smart computer person so it may just look crazy to me 😲 also, do you have videos/tutorials on downloading modder made stuff packs/ furnitures?
The download link ->Dawnload the FULL ARCHIVE of lot sky is broken
How you change the camera angle at 21:07?
Thanks for the info. I've been play sims 2 for years and didn't know I could do all of this! I only have one problem, the water is still the same texture as before while everything else is perfect. Any suggestions on what to do.
Put a water default mod in your download file. just remember to put a pool tile in your lot to work properly
Perfect! Thank You «3
could you upload your download file? i just love how you set yiur gameplay and if you could i would love to get your whole folder
people wont share there cc folders, all her links are in the description.
I have radiance and seasons so I downloaded according to that and I followed you every step of the way, but to my surprise my game keeps crashing while it is loading up the neighborhood. I don't understand what could be possibly wrong except I didn't back up my 'cameras' folder. Please help! Also, how did you get the sims 2 to run on your windows 10 computer because I have this problem when I click on the icon to play it says that there is no directx 9.0 compatible adapter found? I have to put my game into windowed mode to even play at all.
Hi Isis! I'm sorry you're having this problem! The mods that I've linked to have never caused my game to crash. If you're having crashing issues in Windows 10, you need the 4GB patch, and you'll need to use the Graphics Rules maker, and then you may need an additional fix for the Direct x issue. Here is everything I know about fixing it: pleasantsims.com/sims-2-windows-10/
@@PleasantSims The downloads weren't the problem, I had to figure that out myself. I used the 4gb patch and the graphics rules maker and it worked, but I did these things before you replied. I did a lot of research last night because it was bugging me so much and it's finally fixed. Thank you anyway! ☺
@@jojosworld1396 I'm so glad you got it working!! 😃
I'm so upset that all links are broken now. Can someone please upload them all somewhere else?
Following this comment, so I know when the links are live again! Fingers crossed we can get these Skyboxes or @Pleasant Sims uploads them somewhere :)
@@ShivvyCroft When are they live again?I need those things so bad.I dont play Sims 4 because i kinda dont like it,sims 2 is very retro for me but i want to upgrade it with cc.PLEASE IF YOU FIND THEM TELL MEE!!!
It's back up!!
Can you play the other neighborhoods sometime?
Which one would you like to see? I am considering Strangetown in the future, but it's hard to find time for another series. If enough people want to see it, I will play another one. :)
Pleasant Sims All of them.
Ok! Lol. I will at least try to add Strangetown in the mix sometime in the near-ish future. :)
Pleasant Sims Okay, thank you.
I LOVE YOU 😍😘 for this!! wow!!
Hey, I know this is quite old but the stuff doesn't show up and I don't know what to do
Same here, not showing up for me, hope someone gives an answer to this
For the 360 skylines, it dissapears when i zoom out in life mode :(
turn fade distance off
When I do download it and put it in the folder, will the updates automatically transfer to the sims 2 game????
I've seen a lot of out of bounds videos for video games that this map looks exactly like that. Background looking like it ain't solid and yeah the Map being a Box or something. Good thing in-game it's ok.
is there a mod for make the seasons more beautiful? like the snow more beautiful or something like that?
I'm following along this great tutorial and I'm at the place where you choose your terrain replacements. At the time you recorded this you weren't using the lighting system and chose the files accordingly, I wonder if you did make the change when you added the lighting recently or not because it looks great in your game and I see no point taking the radiance files if it's not helpful compared to the seasons one. You never know if I ever need to remove the lighting system one day it would be helpful not needing to re-download and install those files.
Ok so it's a bit later and I have an issue, the beach, cliff and snow replacements are not available anymore it seems, I get to the main page on the blog but the links seem broken or at least are broken for me, is it on my end or are they really lost ?
Thanks for your very very helpful tutorial ! :D
EDIT !! For the beach, snow and cliff not blurred textures I found out that the blogger has a page on mod the sims and I found all the files there, so in case someone else was having the issue too here is the link
www.modthesims.info/d/588607/no-more-blurriness.html
Hi Jeza! I did not ever update the files for the radiance lighting. But I use Spookymuffin's lighting so it doesn't seem to make any difference.
And I just checked those links. They're not working for me either! I sent the creator a message to see if she can get the links working again. There are also other texture replacements out there that can be used, but these were the best ones I found.
That being said, I just noticed that you became a patron! Welcome and I'm so glad to have you! As a patron, you have access to my CC folder, so I will gladly upload these files for you in Discord as soon as you join us there. :)
Awesome! That's great news! Obviously I didn't see this part of your post before I replied the first time. :) I will have to update my blog with the new links too.
@@PleasantSims Thank you for the answer I'll try the non radiance files and see, I downloaded both just in case the site goes dead.
Also I just added a reply to my own post, I found the missing files from the blog on mod the sims, The author has a page there with all the content from the blog , but thanks for the offer , I saw that when I became a patreon and I thought it was a wonderful idea !
I have criquettes terrain and road replacement does skyfix work with that mod?
This is amazing!!!!!!
