Hi! Was just wondering what people do for their pictures to look so beautifully bright on a few custom content-dedicated websites, such as this one (for example):

or on this image:

Is it really, and only altered with a separate photo editor software? Or perhaps do they use this mod: SweetFX HD mod, which can be found there: http://brntwaffles.tumblr.com/tagged/lighting-mod
Besides, what do you think about that SweetFX thing? Apparently, it was made for The Sims 4, but can *possibly* be used with The Sims 3 and 2. Is it risky for me to try it on TS2?
Thank you Fishies!

What I often find helpful, is to place some lamps when it's inside in rooms with very few windows, or when it's dark out. Or before taking the shots, I use the 'sethour' cheat to set the time to the brightest hours of the day, say between 10 AM and 2 PM. Or when it's cloudy, and/or raining, I use whatever cheat (like Paladin's weather controller or the batbox) to adjust the weather and make it sunny.
And if all else fails, I might just play a little with the brightness and contrast settings on my monitor.
Of course, I could go looking for some mod to change the lighting, but that's just another mod that I would use only VERY sporadically, but which would take up some memory and processor time even when it's not needed. So that's a route I prefer NOT to follow.

Pretty sure those pictures are just heavily edited in a graphics program. Looks like they've increased the brightness and saturation to get that bright bright green and overall bright look.

Like BO I use "setHour" for outdoor screenshots, to brighten up indoor screenshots I knock out a section of the outer wall but it only works if you have shadows turned off, if I want shadow to show once again like BO I use lamps.
As for editing pics like the one in your post, and the ones in the link, no way, the only editing I do is if there is a lot of blue sky, I use a cloud overlay to break it up. As far as I'm concerned what someone sees in your screenshots should be what they see in their game.
