That looks normal to me. Have you tried different times of day? The house looks like it's all in the shade of a tree. Try adding a glass roof and see what effect that has on the rooms. - Midevil_Chaos5 years agoSeasoned Veteran
@Bluebellflora Naw. I have another Sim, and one of the tiny rooms, for example, has 2 massive windows and the lights on. The only walls that are brighter are the ones literally where the windows are on. The rest are darker.

Hmm. Could you upload the lot to the gallery so I can download and look in my game? What happened when you added a glass roof (it's a great way to test lighting). - Midevil_Chaos5 years agoSeasoned Veteran
@Bluebellflora Done. Uploaded it. However, I did not find any windowed roofs.

Thanks, I'll look at it in a bit. The glass roof is a roof texture in build mode with the other roofing textures. - Midevil_Chaos5 years agoSeasoned Veteran
XD Thought that was metal LOL
@Bluebellflora The walls look as they should, you just need to add more windows:
I stuck a glass roof texture on so you can see how it affects the lighting, first one is morning light, second is afternoon:

@Bluebellflora I get what you're saying, but since this is a game, realistically, I find it too dark. Way too dark imo. Some areas as shown above, are just too dark despite the windows you added. And you said you added some roof glass panels, so I do believe they are way too dark in that case. Take a look at the second image. See how the room has a lot of light in it? Yet, the walls are so dark.

It's the design of the game and makes it far more realistic. You can lower your lighting settings so you don't get such a definitive light/dark visual. The walls are darker in some areas because they do not have direct sunlight shining on them and are in shadow.
Your house has large rooms with small windows. Try smaller rooms with larger windows 🙂
