I'm not sure I understand what this is, are you saying EA broke the sky from BV on and this fixes their bug?

Thank you very much for this fix! I've been searching this for years. I was frustated that Seasons broke the sky. I always loved the clouds, especially at night!

From what I've read around this (mostly from the tumblr post) - Seasons instituted a box wall around the lot to define boundaries. Unfortunately what that does is block sky deco including the eaxis sky deco.

What this mod does is remove the box wall so that the sky deco can be seen. So yeah, EA broke the sky from Seasons onward. The first fix is if you only have seasons, the second fix is if you have BV or onwards.

@ joandsarah77 @ celebkiriedhel

Ok I have Seasons as my last installed EP so I downloaded the file package for Seasons place it in my downloads went into my Sims game play a household.
But I saw NO Different in the sky at all no moon , sun or stars. Now it was "Not" mention and this post notes if this "SkyFix go into the downloads or some place else.
All I know is there was no different in the Sky at all so @ Nopke I do hope you give us a better understanding of this mod and exactly what it do and where to place it at in the game files.

In Seasons. Explanation below.

Unfortunately, It doesn't restore clouds.

The walls appeared in Nightlife, on boundaries of lots and covered something (all higher layers). Since Seasons, they cover sun, stars and moon although walls' definition haven't changed – sun, stars and moon have been moved to higher layers than walls' layer. In fact, I didn't remove the walls at all – they're on much higher layer now. I haven't seen any negative effects, but remember: it's an experimental mod.

If you don't have camera mod, you can't see it without using TAB. Check it out and let me know – maybe it isn't working; I couldn't test it in Seasons only.

This mod? Yes, it is, but there is the same problem as neighborhood skyboxes have.

And a little achtung! SkyFix does not show in Custom Content Dialog.

Oh, I love this fix! I have as well, Jonimobile's 'see stars at night' fix, but that only did half the sky..this one does the entire sky, and it even includes shooting stars and meteors!

The Sim Solar System, though, is a bit strange...it has 2 moons. Oh, well, I can just imagine that it's the Moon and Jupiter together..(although they're far, far away from one another in reality.)

Thanks for fixing this problem-long overdue!

I have a similar sky mod. Not only do I have two moons, I also have two suns. Just like the planet Tatooine.

So you can actually see the (huge) neighborhood skies without any cut offs? This is amazing! :o

Edit: Yeah it actually works! Now I can throw away my cheap, small box sky

@ Nopke I don't have a camera mod, I follow your instruction and use the TAB, yes then I could see the Stars and moon and meteor ( really beautiful to look at ) but the Tab take you way to far out of boundary,
with the Sims lot way below which is not good for normal game play using tab. So from my understanding in order to have a normal game play to see the sky and all that in it I would need to have a camera mod, to work with your SkyFix ?
Because if so then that a whole new ball game Camera mods have been known to cause game crashes at time. Unless you know of one that don't.

In base game you need to use the Tab to see what is on the sky too… So, if you want to always see it, you have to have a camera mod anyway.

How many camera mods have you tested? I think that not all of them. In my game, Gunmod's camera mod and Enhanced gameplay cameras caused crashes. Now, I have my own camera mod and everything is okay. Maybe I will upload it later.
