Rene Speculation: Art Style, Graphics, and Lighting
A thread to talk about all things related to art style, graphics, and lighting in Project Rene.

I don’t mind if the art style stays the same for Sims ‘Rene’.
My list presently which is deciding whether I get it or not is;
1) DLC must be done differently. I build more than use CAS so my views will reflect this.
I think Game Packs should be the main pack, quality over quantity. $20/£20 is a good price. I think the game packs have generally hit better.
A set theme so you can decide if you want to add it or not. Stuff Packs continue with kits being phased out.
Currently TS4 packs are not balanced in build mode. Most packs come with beds, sofas and chairs. Yet there are few carpets and lino choices.
Oasis Courtyard Kit is great but there’s nothing else Moroccan so it’s a bit odd.
The Industrial Loft Kit only had one window and not much else in the kit to define a loft space. I didn’t understand why a living room and bedroom set were needed. More large windows, doors, radiators, more piping and some different brick and concrete wallpaper and flooring would have been more welcome.
We need more small statues and items to differentiate homes. Plants are more represented, even if you don’t get the Blooming Room Kit there’s still plenty of plants ?in other packs to add.
2) Worlds should be larger with at least one established neighbourhood. One zone empty for players who want to start thier own stories. Each world should have 12-15 lots minimum.
3) In regards to lighting I would like an option to control the brightness of the sun ? in each world. I agree if you visit a different place the light should reflect it.
4) I would like Sims to be able to own little pieces like glasses, a favourite cup and they get mad if another Sim uses it.
I would also like the animation of Sims using house keys to enter thier home and putting them in a bowl by the door. More little realistic nods would be more immersive.
