Beta Skybox [EXPERIMENTAL]
This mod replaces EA's final skybox and replaces it with the Beta Skybox which you can see in some early promotional material before the release of The Sims 4
Works for worlds up to March 2023
The clouds are fully animated
Please Read:
The clouds don't go away when the weather is sunny, they stay visible no matter the weather
This mod replaces the .world files in the sims 4 root folder, lighting mods will not work with this mod
I have not maintained the mod since 2023, so it might be unstable.
INSTALLATION:
Move the contents of the folder into the installation folder of the sims 4 (MAKE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR FILES)

Will you make it possible in a future update for them to disappear when it's SUNNY? 馃榿
I don't think I can do that sadly 馃槶 the skybox was created before seasons so I don't how how to implement such a feature 馃槄
Wow, I can't believe EA showcased something this beautiful before release but ended up scrapping it. So that鈥檚 why there are usually only clouds near the horizon and nothing directly overhead in the final game鈥攂ecause the skybox was supposed to have these animated clouds?! Even though they stay up all the time, they look incredible in cloudy worlds like Brindleton Bay. The in-game effect is honestly stunning. It鈥檚 such a shame the devs didn't stick with that original vision. Thank you so much for bringing this beta skybox into the game!
Agree it is such a shame 馃槶
Will this conflict with other cloud replacements I've already got in my game?
Hey! This mod edits the world files in the root folder, custom clouds offer texture replacements to the clouds we currently have in game, short answer: no! 鉂わ笍
i RUSHED to put this in my game and it's absolutely gorgeous! thanks for all you do with your visual mods, they really enhance the game :)
Thank you for the kind words 馃挄馃挄
this is cool but i鈥檓 a little confused, will this eventually get updated to fit all worlds?
I'm not really planning on it, but you never know 鉂わ笍
