Hey, since your Animated Maps are animated directly from the standard EA maps, do you think you can create two additional sets of your Animated Maps: one set based on Menaceman44's set of fixed map overrides that keeps the art style of the EA maps but alters the layout slightly to more accurately represent the in-game worlds (https://modthesims.info/downloads.php?tag=map+override&creator=Menaceman44&go=Go&gs=0&f=38&p=1&csort=3&fbf=0&u=59363); and the other set based on 20th Century Plumbob's realistic map replacements that were stitched together from actual in-game images of the worlds themselves (https://www.patreon.com/collection/82142?view=expanded)? Also, you should know that Modnest (https://modthesims.info/m/10419764) (https://www.patreon.com/cw/Modnest) put the standard EA maps through a ChatGPT or Copilot image generator and reposted them as "realistic" map replacements, and then he put the regenerated images through an AI video generator to create "animated" map replacements. I don't understand why he decided to go down the AI-regeneration route because I think the AI regenerations are very shoddy and fail horribly at making the maps look "realistic", and I thought you should know.
