Animated Maps - A.M.A.

Given that the original EA maps were drawn on a 2048x2048 canvas, and that 20th Century Plumbob’s Map Replacements were stitched from in-game images and exported as a 4096x4096 canvas, what resolution is your Animated Maps rendered at? Is it broken up into multiple video layers for land, sea or clouds or is it just one video layer?

will you ever create a map override with this, because i kind of dislike the maps in the actual game, and if not how did you create something like this.

Nitpicky question: If we already have SimMattically's Better World Select which already has Animated Clouds included (https://www.patreon.com/SimMattically/posts/better-world-137634160), will the clouds on your Animated Maps enhance the depth of SimMattically's clouds, or could there be a cloudless version of your Animated Maps if we want to pick just one of the two clouds sets?

Your Animated Maps are animated directly from the standard EA maps, and those EA maps have not been very accurate to the actual layout of the worlds in-game. 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, 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 AI-regenerated images through an AI video generator to create "animated" map replacements, a little bit of a while before you announced your Animated Maps. I personally don't understand why he decided to go down the AI-regeneration route because I think the AI regenerations are very shoddy, very low-effort, and they fail horribly at making the maps look "realistic". How do you personally feel about Modnest choosing to put the standard EA maps through an AI generator and passing the AI-regenerated images off as an original mod?

Are you able to post an animated preview? All the images in the preview post are static images, at least on my end. And I see there's some night versions? How does that work? Based on the current in-game time?
