If you look at mzcynnamon's post, you'll see that that would make the lot snow too blue.
Sandi_Candi, its an option in NL.
I also noticed there's a slight cream color to the terrain in the other lots.

I still dont see what's wrong with losing the grass terrain O_o; Like, you don't PERMANENTLY lose it, it's like actual snow fell on the grown and it stays until winters over (you can decide when that is by moving the hack out, then everything will be luciously green again). The thing I dont understand about the whole wanting to keep grass thing but also wanting snow, is how would you use them both at once? You cant, its either one or the other, cause if you just want an individual house to be snowy and the rest grassy then thats pretty easy to acompish without this hack (terrain paint).

The problem with overiding the dirt or concrete is that this mod would become a Nightlife compatable only, as right now its compatable with all.

And about making this just one file... well that is very simple. You just throw everything into one file!


And again folks, when your tired of snow and want grass again, just move the hack out of the download folder, and viola, grass is instantly back, no hastles or anything.


I think you did a wonderful job and i agree with you, it seems to me like some are asking for a more complicated way of giving your sims snow & taking it away. For a person like me, this is perfect, easy as putting a package file into my downloads folder and removing it when no longer desired, how much easier can it get?

I haven't tried this yet, but i hopefully will be later on today.

I tried removing the snow textures file from my computer, and I'm still getting the white terrain now. Do you know why I would be if that file isn't even on my computer anymore?

from what i understand .... if you delete the groups.cache in your my documents folder ... when you restart the game it will create a new groups.cache file. that should clear out the white terrain info that the game has.

I tried that, and reloaded the game but it didn't help. It's not that I don't like the snow, I just wanted to switch between them. I still want to be able to go back to grass...

As in the ones that cover the dessert or other land types? I don't have any of those, just this one.

Try changing the terrain type to desert then back to grass.

I just tried that, and of course the desert works perfectly, but it's still snow on the Temperate terrain.

19,682 KB Last Modified 8/17/2004 (though I installed Sims 2 over again just a month ago, so it must have been last modified by Maxis for that to be right)
